These places may look nice on Instagram or in travel guides, but these online users won’t be making a second visit to these sites anytime soon.
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti
“It was a scary place where even those that are supposed to protect you are open to attacking and robbing/kidnapping/murdering you.”
“Only time I’ve had bodyguards. Had to sign a waiver that basically said that whatever happened to me if I decided to go somewhere without them was on me.”
“I and another volunteer got robbed by some 10-12-year-olds while eating at a cafe with broken pieces of a Heineken bottle pressed to our necks and thighs.”
Birmingham, Alabama
“My wife was almost kidnapped right in front of me while I was holding our infant. Luckily she’s scrappier than she looks, and they gave up when they couldn’t quickly shove her in the car.”
Cairo, Egypt
“Tourists are treated like cattle there, much to the embarrassment of the many good Egyptian people who live in the city.”
“We got taken to the desert and told to give them our money, or they would leave us out there. Would not recommend.”
Marrakesh, Morocco
“Walking around followed by groups of men trying to touch my wife (who was dressed modestly with legs and shoulders covered), followed by aggression when either I or she voiced our displeasure with this.”
“I had this exact experience. Not safe for solo female travelers. I have traveled all over the world. Morocco ranks last as a place I would visit again.”
“Marrakech is the seedy Disneyland of Morocco.”
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt
“The resort was fine. But stepping in the city market….big aggressive vibe towards women tourists.”
“I remember being followed down the street by two dozen shopkeepers, taxi drivers, and others. Insane.”
“In some of the tourist areas, they have armed guards as a deterrent, not just for potential terrorist attacks, it’s because they simply are a constant harassment.”
Bradford, UK
“I had some Saturday nights out in Bradford in the 90s. It’s a post-industrial dirty hole with nothing to offer.”
Kathmandu, Nepal
“There were the tiny street orphans with the rings of dirt and glue around their mouths (glue kills hunger and is cheaper than food)…”
Stockton, California, USA
“They literally have armed security at the McDonald’s.”
“Growing up, my dad was a crime scene investigator and covered all of California. And most of the time when he’d get called, if it was a homicide, he’d be going to Stockton.”
“My buddy’s dad is a realtor, and people will ask him for a showing in Stockton because it’s cheap. He would say, ‘I can show you places….but…are you sure that you want to live there?'”
Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA
“It feels like a run-down smallish city, but it’s weirdly dotted with glitzy casinos. It’s like Vegas and Scranton got drunk one night and made a really strange baby.”
“There’s something about the outskirts of Atlantic City that just looks and feels so greasy and grimy.”
“The Atlantic City boardwalk is like if Las Vegas Boulevard and Detroit’s 8 Mile had a baby.”
Dubai
“It features so much about what I don’t like about humanity. All money and no substance.”
“It’s a very hollow/empty superficial place.”
“They have these huge impressive buildings and projects, but they lack soul. There’s something missing since it didn’t grow organically like ‘a real city.’”
Mobile, Alabama, USA
“There was a palpable aura of anger and resentment in that town that I’ll never forget.”
“Mobile, AL, was the first place I was ever shot at. It has a special place in my heart.”
“I HATE Mobile with a passion and can’t wait to move soon.”
Manila, Philippines
“Traffic. Pollution. Poverty.”
“I’m from the Philippines, and dude, I also hate it there. I remember one time I rented an inn there. The sink was full of cigarette butts, and so was the bed”
“Just visit the beaches if you want to visit the Philippines. Literally, anywhere outside Manila, you will love.”
Grimsby, UK
“I arrived in Grimsby by ship. I walked off the ship. One of the stevedores welcomed me with: ‘Welcome to Grimsby: the biggest expletive hole in the world.’ It was true. Never visited another port like it. And I have been around the world.”
Hollywood, California, USA
“Specifically Hollywood Boulevard. It’s really janky, the whole town kind of smells, and it’s just wholly disappointing.”
“Angelenos know to avoid Hollywood and its tourist traps. Aside from a meal at Musso & Frank, it’s not worth a visit. Instead, go to Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Sawtelle.”
Nassau, Bahamas
“Place is extremely run down. Locals don’t leave you alone and don’t take no for an answer.”
“Idk, maybe I had a bad experience, but I’ll never return to the Bahamas, at least Nassau.”
