Most overrated/underrated tourist attraction

[marylander1940]

Underrated!

Niterói Contemporary Art Museum - Wikipedia

Don't judge by the picture, it's in Niterói across the Guanabara bay from Rio. I felt I was entering a flying saucer and I'm sure that was the impression Niemeyer had in mind. Mission accomplished!

Paço de São Cristóvão / Quinta da Boa Vista

Unfortunately now in ruins and most of the collection was lost during the 2018 fire...

My new answer to this question: The most under rated tourist destination is my ass~ Been years since I’ve had any visitors there~ It’s a nice place to vacation and play~ Open year round~!

 Indoor and outdoor dining~  Full menu~ Daily excursions and adventures available~

Citadelle Laferrière  and Sans-Souci Palace in Haiti, on my to do list but I doubt it would be a safe country to visit for many years.

That fire was a tragedy.

I had a brief fling with a Haitian guy years ago in Montreal. He was extremely tall and extremely black, just a gorgeous guy. But he went back to Haiti in the 70s and I never saw him again. He was named Max and had a fashion business named MaxSwell.

For the record, unfortunately I read it because you quoted. 

I wasn't trying to rationalize anything. Just setting the record straight.

Oh, of course. Paris, Venice, Rome, Manhattan. What dumps! Nothing to see there!

I liked one of the comments, something like, "Why do people go to touristy places and then trash them because of all the tourists there?"

Caernarfon Castle - Wikipedia

underrated, it's amazing how big it feels once you're there and how little time it took to be built. 

Impressive, and well preserved. It was popular when Prince Charles was crowned but in a land with so many castles somehow is not huge touristic attraction.

Offa's Dyke - Wikipedia

Underrated and unknown... I only knew about it when I saw with my own eyes in the 80's.

I decided not to post a photIo I  took of  Spanish Strongman Francisco Franco in 1973. He was tearing up a Playboy magazine in Madrid  at a newsstand

I think he’s dead and you would be safe to post it.

Franco was a tiny fascist dictator, I had forgotten what a evil man he was (it was Winter in Madrid; he was surrounded by his much taller goons).

Overrated was the London Eye! Bleh I felt like such a “tourist” 😂 Had a much better time at the Drunken Goat with Guinness and fish n’ chips!

A Guinness and some fish and chips beats a whole lot of travel experiences!

Overrated was La Sagrada Familia. The most boring church I have stepped in.  Underrated is Independence Hall, which is right in my back yard. It's interesting how small it is, and yet it stokes emotions when viewing the rooms/tables and chairs as they were in 18th century.
