As per recent research done by travel experts at Stasher, some of the world’s worst, most overhyped, tourist-trap-like attractions include the Hollywood Walk of Fame in LA, USA; the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey; the Great Wall of China in China; and Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong.
Other disappointing global attractions include the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, Australia; Stonehenge in Wiltshire, UK; Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée, France; Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania; and the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu in the Cusco Region of Peru.
On the other hand, Stasher notes, some must-see tourist destinations include the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain; Walt Disney World in Orlando, USA; Tokyo Disneyland in Japan; Milford Sound in New Zealand; the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt; and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil.
