Here Are 5 Overrated Travel Destinations Around The World

There are plenty of destinations that are worth a long journey or a splurge. But there are also the places that don't deserve their accolades. 1. Hollywood, California You won't have much luck finding a celebrity here; there is only one major film studio in the area and the main attractions are unoriginal or tourist traps. 2. Stonehenge, England Declared one of the most overrated tourist attractions in the world based on TripAdvisor reviews, Stonehenge underwhelms many visitors. 3. Harbour Bridge, Sydney, Australia You won't find a more expensive bridge to walk across than the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The full 3.5-hour climb will cost you $268. 4. Venice, Italy This city is full of tourist traps, like gondola rides, that aren't worth the cost. The high numbers of tourists has also caused many locals to leave. 5. Las Vegas, USA There are a couple of occasions that call for a trip here, but it's best to skip this spot if you're traveling for leisure.
