One place that you might consider skipping is Hollywood. Oh, we might all think it’s full of glitz and glam, but the reality is nothing like what we see in the movies.

"There’s one popular, supposedly must-see attraction that’s way overhyped in Los Angeles, and that’s Hollywood. Everyone has heard of it and everyone wants to see it, but once you arrive in the real Hollywood, you’re sure to be disappointed," entertainment expert Mike Sington, from Los Angeles, shared with Bored Panda recently.
"It’s very crowded, and there’s hardly anything to see except the stars in the sidewalk. Once you do that, and you have to dodge the crowds to even navigate the sidewalks, that’s it. I’d suggest passing on Hollywood itself, and taking one of the professionally run studio tours all the major movie studios offer," he said that Hollywood isn’t as great as some tourists might expect.
