Top 25 Worst World Tourist Traps (5 of 5)

Central Tokyo, Japan

It’s central to one of the largest metropolitan areas on the planet. What would you expect from a place like that? You’ve got to deal with packs of crowds and nothing but concrete. While there are some spots worth seeing, you might be better off checking out the suburbs of Ogikubo and Asagaya.

Winston Churchill’s Britain at War Experience, London

Every year, there are thousands of people who come to see this. While we shouldn’t forget what Churchill has done in history, we think this experience isn’t the best way to recognize him. After all, this experience is nothing but a couple of fake mannequins. It’s a real shame because there are several other authentic WWII sites worth looking at.

One such option is Churchill’s bunker, which is not far from this tourist trap.

Dunn’s River Falls, Jamaica

While the falls are beautiful, they’re slightly undermined by the fact there are thousands of people who come through the jungle to see this. Pair that up with lots of cruise ships, tour guides and others can undermine this experience too.

St. Mark’s Square, Venice

Maybe this spot gets a lot of attention since a lot of this town is water and this is the only large body of dry land available. Whatever the reason is though, this place is often crowded with people, as well as pigeons.

Tower of London

Whenever you go to London, this is considered the highlight of the trip but it’s not really the case. This 1,000-year tower was designed to keep people in, but often pushes people away thanks in part to the massive lineups.

If you want a better spot, get some tickets in reserve 2 months in advance. We’d also advise showing up around the time of the Ceremony of the Keys.
