Why go to Brussels to see something pee into a fountain, just go to any city here on a Saturday night and you’ll see that

Petra - big disappoint. Chock full of so many people hawking their wares, it was hard to get peace to enjoy the place. That & the appalling state of some of the donkeys, camels & horses used to carry people around the site.

I'd been to Jerash the previous weekend. Still the most impressive ancient site I've ever visited.

Way overpriced for what you get whether it be hotel, food or drink...€13.50 for a cocktail in the Porterhouse bar as just a simple example.

Just generally found it a very tacky town. Not a great vibe in the streets at night.

It had just won the best place to live in the Times. I d read about how it was planned and designed bespokely unlike many Irish town centres where It’s one building at a time which bears no relation to the others. Maybe it was the drizzly weather but I though it was ok no more . I found many places going round Ireland fairly stunning (Glandore , abbeyleix etc ) but just didn’t see what the fuss about Westport was . Just my opinion

Ya, I can see that, It was always a stomping ground for us, and the more prestigious it gets the more pretentious it gets & the more I dislike it, I miss what it used to be.

Love Art so would have to agree on the Van Gogh Museum so so disappointing! As was the Mona Lisa, very underwhelming...the Musee D'Orsay was spectacular though!

I was also disappointed in Madrid and Rome.

Amsterdam on my first visit but went back for a dance festival and it was EPIC

Yep, totally agree. Wasn't worth the trip up and back in a day. Although, the tour of Bushmills distillery and a few whiskeys at the end put a smile on my face.

Saw it a lot in the U.K. you grow up somewhere , gets way too gentrified , people no longer feel like it’s home and can’t afford to live there , whilst simultaneously wondering what these newbies find so alluring about it
