Going on a fascinating journey through distant lands, we will delight in studying guidebooks and are looking forward to meeting with world famous sights. Unfortunately, it is far from always seen what meets our expectations.
In today's publication, we have collected the Top 10 most disappointing attractions. The top ten is based on hundreds of traveler reviews expecting a lot more.
10. Manneken Pis (Brussels)
Since childhood, we are all familiar with the image of this sculpture. And upon arrival in the capital of Belgium, every tourist considers it his duty to get acquainted with the Boy firsthand. Alas, a 61 cm tall figure can hardly impress anyone - so the case with the Manneken Pis is just that when size matters.
9. The Little Mermaid (Copenhagen)
A greenish statue on a gray stone surrounded by a dull landscape destroys the very idea of the fabulous appearance of a mermaid that exists among most of us. Tourists have long bombarded the Danish government with requests to move the statue to another, more picturesque place.
8. Floating Market (Bangkok)
The unique, unique and the only exotic floating market in the world is actually a noisy, dirty, crowded and even traumatic place.
7. Leaning Tower (Pisa)
Firstly, apart from the tower in Pisa there are no other attractions, and secondly, tourists are always crowding around with the intention of making a battered shot with a raised hand that "holds" the tower. Traveling to the city for the 15 minutes of contemplation of this architectural masterpiece and staying not disappointed is not easy.
6. Treasures of the British Crown (London)
Antique jewelry and fateful stones associated with chilling stories make visiting the treasury quite attractive. In fact, viewing the exhibits is preceded by a huge queue that slowly moves slowly through stuffy corridors and watches a video about the British royal house. Having reached the desired stones, you suddenly realize that it was not worth it ...
5. Buckingham Palace (London)
You can look at the residence of the British monarchs only because of the high fence, something interesting and informative from the contemplation of the pediment of this building is quite difficult to obtain.
4. Topkapi Palace (Istanbul)
The famous palace of the Turkish sultans, alas, is not amazing in luxury. A 40-minute tour of the rooms and corridors is expensive, and there are practically no unique things in the palace. Even the famous mosaic in the harem is not able to compensate for the disappointment.
3. Stonehenge (Great Britain)
Many stone secrets and legends are associated with these stone giants. And what a tourist’s disappointment is when it turns out that the stones are not so huge, you can’t come close to them, and the most widespread camera angles are completely inaccessible from the paths along which tourists are led.
2. Mona Lisa (Paris)
The legendary Mona Lisa is demonstrated from afar, and huge crowds are going to look at it. According to many tourists, the picture could be larger, but those wishing to gawk - less.
1. Eiffel Tower (Paris)
All the pleasure of visiting the symbol of Paris is nullified by standing in a long line to climb to the observation deck. As a result, the types of metal structures from under the “belly” of the famous tower over the course of an hour and a half make a painful impression, and when the long-awaited climb up ends, it turns out that the observation deck is not so high, there is not much space above, the mass of people is solid disappointment.
