Overrated cities and where to go instead! 👎🏻👍🏻

  • Every now and then I repost reels that really show my personality or taste in travel destinations. This reel I did a long while ago and since then a lot of new travelers started watching, so this one is for all of you!
    Why do I think Paris, Barcelona, Venice, Amsterdam, and Brussels are overrated?
    First of all: all of these cities share a couple positive things. They’re beautiful, they all have tremendous history, and it’s definitely possible to have a great time in them (so don’t let this video stop you from visiting them in your life).
    However I don’t like traveling to them.
    Some of these cities are, in my opinion (!), worse than others. In Barcelona and Venice I had a relatively decent time, but that was just because I decided to explore those cities early in the morning.
    I don’t like big cities when:
    1. They’re overcrowded
    2. They’re Expensive
    3. They’re filled with pickpockets and scammers
    4. They’re filled with tourist traps
    5. The streets are full of trash
    6. Everywhere smells like urine
    7. They have a homeless problem
    The places that I’m telling you to go instead have none of these problems and are perfectly safe to visit (also for beginner solo travelers).
    They’re just as beautiful (if not more) than the overrated places, but you won’t get robbed or scammed and you won’t have to avoid stepping on drug needles when walking the streets.
    Because they’re all the same country they’re not MUCH cheaper, but you’ll usually get better quality for your money because they don’t have nearly enough tourist traps in these places.
    Locals, let me know if you agree or disagree. If you disagree, what changes would you make to this reel?

      not only the tourist but the expense is also calculated I imagine, living in Amsterdam I know how expensive stuff gets cant imagine living here without a kitchen and there arent many air bnb's I imagine as our mayor is against that so thats more a vacation for students that can life cheap on sh*t or for the more richer tourist which I dont get that you would spend a lot of money to stay in Amsterdam or other places just for the buildings is for me a little crazy. Always travel for the nature and good weather lol

      True, both of these are excellent destinations (I slightly prefer Ghent over Antwerp), but Bruges is definitely still worth visiting regardless. In fact, if you're going to visit anything in Belgium; it should be Bruges.
      Ghent is a major university city and can also be really busy depending on the time of year.
      The region around Bruges is also quite pretty (e.g. Damme, Lissewege; and into the Netherlands where you've got Sluis).
      Not far to the southwest of Bruges lies the WW1 front line. Poperinge is known for the Talbot House (not much else to do, though); Ypres was a wealthy city during the Middle Ages that saw some of the heaviest fighting during WW1 - both of them are quite popular among British tourists. For these trips you'd need a car or so to get around easily.
      There are also lesser known cities like Mechelen and Leuven (another major university city; also far more busy than Bruges throughout the academic year).
      And of course, the many, many castles.

      By "more busy" I mostly refer to students. Leuven is packed on weekdays at noon and sunday nights, but it also almost turns into a ghost town on fridays after 19 o'clock. That's because of the students that reside there and go home for the weekends.
      During the weekends, you get quite a few people from the surrounding region that go shopping (but generally it's not as busy).
      As for the chocolate shops vs grocery shops; there's a major difference between the city centre and residential areas surrounding the centre (Bruges is the 3rd largets city in Flanders, with 120.000 people living there). That difference is indeed really pronounced in the case of Bruges, but can also be seen in Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and even Brussels too.

      And a lot of those tourists that visited Paris are going home underwhelmed. Paris has a handful of nice spots, but most of it is dirty, poorly maintained, stuffed with traffic, and let's not even get started on the Parisians themselves.
      In that sense, I much more enjoyed Lille and Lyon. Their city centers are prettier as a whole, cleaner, and the people were friendlier.

    People here are overlooking the fact that there are several factors that are unique to each individual’s likes in travel. For instance, for someone coming from an undeveloped part of the world would find a city like Paris stunning while a person from let’s say Copenhagen or Singapore would find it dirty and overcrowded. Another factor would be expectation. Some of these cities are so hyped by the media that when you finally spend a lot of money to see them they may not always live upto the hype. Then there is the personal preference and taste. If you love history and culture, these European cities would be perfect but if you are looking for modern cities, then some Asian or American cities would be the best. So arguing about which are good and which are bad is futile as it’s different for different people.

Perhaps not as many canals, but its location by the sea and the one canal you can see in the video do draw comparisons to Venice.
    And, as a Dutchman, I can say I do prefer Den Haag over Amsterdam. Partially because Den Haag is not as big, but I also really like the skyline and it’s the Dutch political center so the Binnenhof and such are really interesting to visit.

    I’m Spanish and I completely disagree with Barcelona. It’s absolutely gorgeous and definitely has to be visited. Also Granada and Barcelona are completely different cities, so you shouldn’t go to one INSTEAD of the other. If the comparison had been Sevilla and Granada it would have made a bit more sense but Barcelona is not a fair comparison

      @@Jokkkkke in terms of what? You go walk from HS to scheveningen and you walk through districts alien to the rest of the country. Housing more homes with a value of 1m€+ than rotterdam and utrecht combined. Utrecht has a few canals and stuff but their downtown is still only half the size of The Hague centrum.
