View submission: What is the most overrated vacation destination?
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.

That's just proving my point, haha. It's such a romanticized place that people have been making it seem overrated, but it's just a huge European city like Rome. It's been around for ~2000 years but really started getting good 900 years ago, like that's any bit recent. It also has so many direct flights too, I just wish they made their ticketing system for the metro better. My parents and I flew in on a friday or saturday and stayed 4 nights which made the visitors pass not worth it since it's like monday-sunday (or something like that).
