Overrated destinations from #TravelCorkboard
Guardian Travel readers' moans about places not all they're cracked up to be - thanks to all who contributed
#travelcorkboard. Fort Lauderdale where they built huge skyscrapers on the lovely beach that block the sun. Excess of tattoo parlors too.
@GuardianTravel #travelcorkboard 10km walk through forest in Sigulda to the mythical Gutmanis cave to find a hole in the rock, not a cave
#travelcorkboard Dubai !! Too much bling and money, scrapers and malls. All fakeness ! Whatever happened to nature & real people..
@GuardianTravel 'spectacular views' of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong. 90% chance of smog. #TravelCorkboard http://pic.twitter.com/RHXF3qFy
#travelcorkboard St. Thomas, USVI-Who wants to spend their Caribbean vacation being harassed to buy a watch? If I wanted that, I'd go to NYC
@GuardianTravel #TravelCorkBoard Niagara Falls BY FAR. Have you even seen Clifton Hill Road?! Such a shame, it could have been quaint.
#TravelCorkBoard Phi Phi Islands - they don't show the beach packed with tourists on the photos...
@GuardianTravel Coney Island - litter-strewn beaches and feral cats eating discarded Big Macs. bit.ly/HO2GVA #TravelCorkboard
#TravelCorkboard Brandenburg Gate - especially if you know what was supposed to be at that same site
@GuardianTravel LA- Getting harassed by big dirty birds on Venice beach, no thanks! #TravelCorkboard http://pic.twitter.com/4Xb71Nth
@GuardianTravel Visiting the 'Historical' Toy Museum in Prague. It's ok, as long as you like Barbies.. #TravelCorkBoard http://pic.twitter.com/KzMATVcD
@GuardianTravel #TravelCorkBoard Cassis. Might've been pictureqsue once, but now it's the 'charming' tip of a looming suburb-iceberg.
#TravelCorkboard @GuardianTravel Copenhagen in December. Ridiculously freezing outside, absurdly expensive inside. Boo.- @GuardianTravel I'll get some stick for this...The Temples of Angkor, Cambodia. I was very much underwhelmed, all same same #travelcorkboard
Monaco. Full of green-eyed zombies staring at luxury items they can't afford. It's a culture-free zone. @GuardianTravel #travelcorkboard
@GuardianTravel whistler; sanitised resort that gets tracked out in seconds. smaller but 100 times better resorts inland #travelcorkboard
@GuardianTravel Ningaloo Reef, WA. A 48-hr-drive to scuba over a pile of dead coral 'aided' by criminally negligent guides. #travelcorkboard
@GuardianTravel - For me Timbuktu. Scruffy desert town. Not at all romantic and now full of gunmen! #travelcorkboard
Perth, Australia. All the excitement of Basingstoke but stretched over a really, really wide area #TravelCorkboard
@GuardianTravel Pattaya. Disappointing and horrible. Crowded beach, murky water, boring nightlife. #TravelCorkboard
@GuardianTravel Has to be Angkor: 5am wake up call for a pile of mouldy old rocks and a surly tuk-tuk driver. #TravelCorkboard
@GuardianTravel Tallinn's old town at street level. Souvenir shops, drunk Finnish daytrippers and shouty UK stag parties. #TravelCorkboard
@GuardianTravel Cancun - an impossibly sweaty magnet for greasy teenagers called Brad vacuously blabbing about the gym #travelcorkboard
@GuardianTravel Gagaju Bush Camp, Noosa, Oz. Basically camping at a landfill site and getting eaten by Mosquitos #TravelCorkboard
@GuardianTravel Erik the Red's house in Iceland. If he existed, this might be where his house was and what it looked like. #TravelCorkboard
