Great food, great art, and coffeeshops... What's not to like? Can spend the day smoking ready-made joints hopping between cafes and coffeeshops. I loved it.

I assumed if mentioned it previously but apparently not.
The Vatican... nothing at all appealing to me. Also the Sistine chapel is hugely underwhelming.

Wut
I thought the Sistine Chapel was amazing those Catholics got their hands on so much bling

It’s a poorly lit hall with a painted roof (to me) that they pack people into to look at.
I’m an atheist so maybe the significance was lost on me.

They certainly pack them in and kick you out before you see everything so you have to pay again
But you dont need to be religious to be amazed by whats in there

Perhaps not but I wasn’t amazed, legit turned to my partner and was like “is this it... hmmm, there you go”.
I remember telling a workmate I thought it was underwhelming, the look on her face was like I’d just pissed in her coffee.
There is nothing in la to do that you cant do in any other city. Nothing all that memorable to see either.
that is not true or vegas. Vegas doesnt exist anywhere else in the western world.
Yes, people said I would really like it so I booked 6 nights and was ready to leave after 3.
The village with the windmills was the only thing I liked. I ate some space cake to try and live things up but it didn't work.
I was there early November, maybe thats a bad time to visit?

Not too many places I’ve been that I really hated but Tartus, Syria is one. Absolute dump of a place and was one of Syria’s biggest holiday resort destinations. Beach was polluted and stunk and was just a really dirty city. Far better beachside locations in Syria and a fantastic country overall at the time. Still saddened to think that I may possibly ever be able to return there
Weren't impressed with the mosaics in St Peters?

I’m sure I saw them and I honestly couldn’t recall them so I’m gonna say yeh, not that impressed.
The view of St.Peters Basilica from the front in the piazza is impressive but imo it’s not worth paying to go inside.
I wasn't blown away by it however I wish I read about it before visiting so I knew what areas to look for and already knowing the reasons of why some of the things were painted. I think I would of appreciated it more if I did.
It was packed and for the 10 minutes I was in there and twice they had to tell everyone to be quiet to remind that no photos were to be taken.
10 seconds later you'd see about 50 people trying to take photos..
I'm fairly sure you don't need to pay to go in, I lined up for 45 minutes and walked straight in with everyone else.

Ive liked or loved pretty much every city/country ive been to. Maybe im easily pleased idk.
The most disappointing would probably be Disney World. Just hardly any good rides per park. The best thing about it was Pleasure Island ie a bunch of nightclubs

I was blown away by Vatican City because of the riches inside, and the beggars, conmen/women and poverty outside. It was a stark contrast that I didn't really understand, beyond the point that the church really do like to keep their donations. The poor of Rome should really storm that joint.

I didnt like how everywhere you went it was like "you cant".
You camt go right up to Stonehenge stay behind the rope
Cant go into the stock exchange
Cant go up the statue of liberty
Etc
I realise theres reasons why (esp with NYC and 2 years after 9/11) but it was still s**t.

Fair enough. Certainly a perfect fit for this thread.
Disney is a s**t hole, unless you're under 12.

From memory (and it was a long time ago) you don’t pay to go into St.Peters but to tour the whole inside of the Vatican (gardens, Sistine etc) you paid (not a huge amount to be fair)
Ive had friends who went there ,before the war and loved it

Honestly most of my mates that have done the middle eastern countries (more Bosnia, Israel and Jordan than Syria) raved about them
Went to Pamplona in 3014 and it sucked. Place smelt like piss and s**t and vomit. Drunk people everywhere. Had a horrible Airbnb host - wouldn’t let us watch the World Cup final on her tv cos she hated football. Running of the bulls was meh, couple minutes of adrenaline. Not sure what I was expecting, but between San Sebastián and Barcelona, it was a couple of wasted days
