Avoid These Top Tourist Destinations

We’ve all seen those lists of places we simply must visit before we die, but there are actually some popular tourist spots that one should really avoid.

London Bridge

Arguably the most famous bridge in the world, London Bridge is nearly 1,000 years old. But most of us have got it wrong because the bridge pictured is actually Tower Bridge.

The real London Bridge is completely unimpressive, so if you find yourself there, walk along the river either left or right to find a really impressive bridge to gaze upon.

The Great Pyramid at Giza

The last remaining Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid at Giza is actually so overrun with tourists that visiting is bound to leave you disappointed because of the crowds and its proximity to KFC and Pizza Hut.

The Mona Lisa

The Mona Lisa is probably the world’s most famous painting. Painted by the brilliant Leonard da Vinci in the early 16th Century, viewing the Mona Lisa can be very disappointing because the painting is tiny.

It’s also difficult to see because the lighting is poor, so you’re better off looking at a reproduction than at the real thing.
