Top 25 Worst World Tourist Traps (3 of 5)

 

 

Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy

Piazza Dei Miracoli, Sky, Building, Tower

It’s still impressive how such poor architecture like this could last for so long, but it doesn’t make much sense these days to pay 15 euros for a chance to wait in a lengthy line to climb up the tower and then come back down.

 

 

Benoa, Indonesia

Benoa Harbour, Sky, Boat, Cloud, Watercraft, Water, Vehicle, Naval architecture, Mode of transport

Considered a prime snorkeling spot, it’s all a farce when you get there. The water is a lot murkier and there is not a fish in sight. Not only that, but you’ll be spending a lot of that money dodging crowds.

 

 

Willis Tower, Chicago

India In The 21st Century Essay, Skyscraper, Building, Sky, Tower, Tower block

Also known as the Sears Tower, you’ll need to go through brutally long lines before you can reach the top. Paired with the crowds of people, it’s going to be tough to take decent shots.

 

 

Empire State Building

Along with Willis Tower is the Empire State Building. Though this one can be even more of a struggle than what it’s worth. But don’t get us wrong, getting up to the 86th floor and seeing the city from there is a wonderful experience.

 

 

Nanjing Dong Lu, Shanghai

Metropolitan Area, Building, Skyscraper, Sky, Light, Electricity, Tower block

Referred to as the “best shopping street in China,” it’s really just empty words. There is a lot of history behind this spot for sure, but the history of the place has been replaced by ubiquitous brands.
