]]>A general rule of thumb you can follow is to avoid restaurants located in big, popular squares or near tourist attractions. Most of these restaurants, with waiters outside beckoning people to sit down and photos of food on the menu, are definite tourist traps with mediocre food and high prices.
Scattered all around various Medieval towns in Tuscany are various torture museums, which are built specifically to attract, scare, and scam tourists. They’re not that interesting and not worth your money.
Unfortunately, a lot of things in Venice are tourist traps including extremely overpriced gondola rides and souvenir stores on every corner.

]]>The Blarney Stone near Cork, Ireland is known for being a rock that you kiss. The legend is that you will receive the gift of Blarney, that is if you can bend over backward to kiss it. Unfortunately, the lines are several hours long and it’s not exactly hygienic. In the times of coronavirus, this one is a pass.
Another famous rock, Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts is known for being the place where the pilgrims first landed in America in 1620. The problem is that the attraction is just that—a rock. You won’t be missing out if you skip it.
Okay, the Niagara Falls themselves are just as majestic as you think they are. But the New York cities that surround it are the definition of a tourist trap full of gift shops and tacky restaurants. You’re much better visiting from the Canadian side if you do want to stop by.
