What famous tourist spot doesn't live up to the hype?

1. Hollywood walk of fame. Once is enough, and you really get about all you need in 20 minutes.

2. Plymouth Rock. It's a rock.

3. The Four Corners. It's a slab of concrete in the desert with a couple lines and a compass rose on. And I mean that's literally all it is. There is no tourist center, no tourist crap shop, no bathroom, no water, no nothing. It is a slab of concrete. In the desert.

4. Listen guys. As someone who travels with children, I have found a way to enjoy tourist spots and experience things with as few people as possible. Get up really fucking early. Eiffel Tower right before it opens: no line to get in. Vatican right before it opens: only a handful of people in the Sistine Chapel. Similarly in Florence, walked right up the statue of David. Same with Notre Dame, the Collosseum, the Smithsonian museums, etc. Do the thing first, then have brunch because the restaurants are less crowded. Save midday/afternoon for the walking around/outdoor activities. Early dinner while the restaurants are uncrowded. 9pm snack/dessert while checking out the stuff near your hotel/hostel.

5. Manneken Pis in Brussels (the famous pissing boy statue) It's one of the most iconic and famous statues in the world. So here's me thinking it was a few metres high or on a massive plinth in the main town square. Nope. Its about 50cms high and its set in a wall in a back street somewhere. Its so small and out the way I almost missed it entirely

6. Madame Tussauds. Is it really worth spending several hours queuing up to see a mannequin dressed like David Beckham?

7. Pinks hot dogs in L.A, drove past it a few times and there was always a massive queue, thought they must be amazing so queued for over an hour to Try one. Nope, just a regular old hot dog.
