View submission: What is the most overrated vacation destination?
I mean Paris was awesome. I did go 2 months before the Olympics so it was cleaner than normal, but it was amazing. So much good food at a good price too, some museums they had were free.

Paris is incredible but like any big city takes some planning.
Stay in the boutique hotel. Find the hole in the wall restaurant. The speakeasys in the Latin, the picasso museum, wander through Le Marais which is both a vibrant trendy part of the city and wildly sobering at the same time. Grab some takeaway and watch the sunset and crowds at sacre coeur. I’ve been 3 times and barely scratched the surface.

I went to London and Paris last March and honestly liked Paris more than I was expecting. We did touristy things sure, but I think I went in with low expectations. Don't get me wrong, I know it can be kind of hyped up but I think I just wasn't a fan of what people thought or wanted Paris to be. It was just another large city with lots to do.
