Publish Not your original work? Add source We've all been there: you arrive at a destination only to find that it's not as cool as people made it out to be. You were sick of hearing about how great that city is, so you booked a flight, and when you finally got there, you found yourself wondering why everyone was so excited about it in the first place. It's like you've stumbled upon an alternate reality where everyone sees something you cannot see. It's a tough feeling because you've just realized that you spent your hard-earned money on some disappointing travel destination just because everyone made you believe it was worth it. There's also this phenomenon that goes by the name of "Paris syndrome," which is basically a strong sense of mortification some individuals, especially Japanese tourists, experience when visiting Paris for the first time and finding out the city has been overly romanticized. If you were wondering, yes, Paris is on the list. Désolé, Parisiens. While you may not experience this syndrome's symptoms - like hallucinations, delusional states, and tachycardia - the sense of dismay can still be a sharp and painful blow to the ego. It's not just Paris, though. Social media over-glamorizes certain travel destinations by setting unrealistic expectations about some places in the world. If it makes you feel better, you're not the only one. Reddit has a whole thread dedicated to the topic, and some travel bloggers have been brutally honest about their experiences. We did our homework and found that some specific places are commonly considered authentic catfish tourist traps better off being skipped. If you're also curious about the topic, we created a list ranking the most overrated cities according to a viral Reddit thread that, honestly said, blew our minds. Expect the ranking to change as you and other fellow Panda globetrotters upvote and downvote the submissions. Keep in mind these are just popular opinions: the experience of travel is just too personal to cross off certain destinations from your bucket list just because of someone else's point of view - we're personally smitten with some of the cities we included here!

There are also many lovely views to take in, and hundreds of beautiful, interesting, history-filled places to visit, and good public transport to get there. Just dont be disappointed if it's not a Disney- like, perfect and immaculate place. People actually live and work there. 5 5points reply View More Replies... View more comments #34

Miami USA
"I'm Latin American, and for most of the people in this neck of the continent, Miami and the US are synonymous with one another. If someone tells you that they're traveling outside the country, 99% of the time they are traveling to Miami. Say that you live abroad like I do, and people will say that they'd love to live in Miami "as well". Latin Americans who travel to Miami do so for three reasons: to go to the beach, to go shopping for all the foreign products they can't get back home, and as a starting point for a trip to Disney World. Every year flocks of tourists from South America fly to Miami and all they do is go to the mall and to South Beach. And what's worse, they'll call the city paradise because it has all the "good things" about the United States without you needing to speak English. But there's nothing there. Sure, there are a couple of interesting places to visit--Vizcaya is a genuinely interesting place--but if you want to do anything that isn't hanging out at the mall or getting sunburnt, Miami is a void that slowly sucks out your will to live. Miami is a hell that has somehow fooled an entire continent into thinking that it's heaven."commons.wikimedia.org , machu_pikacchu Report 23points POST Ray McArdle Ray McArdle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 week ago Here's one city that definitely belongs on this list.

Trenton USA
"I wasn't really visiting or expecting to go there, just passing through on an Amtrak ride. I awoke from a nap to the train just stopped in what looked like Raccoon City. Trash was everywhere, and most of the buildings looked abandoned. The sky was cloudy and literally green. Like, sickly yellow-green. And most eerily, I didn't see a single car driving on the street or anyone walking around outside on the barren sidewalks. All the stores and restaurants looked closed and empty. I was actually sort of gripped by fear for a second, in my post-nap haze. Just wanted the doors to shut and the train to pull out of there. Nobody was getting on the Amtrak in Trenton. I didn't even know if there was anybody in Trenton. As the train pulled away and we went through the center of the city, a rail bridge over the river caught my eye.

If you are driving to one of the ski resorts, yeah the closest ones are about two hours away, but it is absolutely routine for people to leave on a Friday after work to go into the mountains and come back Sunday. Happens every weekend in winter. And denver is not "in the plains" lol. I think you might be thinking of Kansas. Now that is the wide open, tumbleweed, farmland for days type place.
