The reason any tourist destination is overcrowded or expensive is because it is awesome. Tourist Destinations that are awesome: Many sites in NYC: Times Square, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Met, Central Park etc. Disneyland is awesome. One of the most fun I ever had on a bar crawl was Epcott. Warner Brothers Studio So many places in Paris, shout out to the Louvre and shout out to Le Relais de l'Ent...
Bonaire. Small island off the coast of Venezuela. Basically, the only industry is tourism/scuba diving. Been three times and I'd go again tomorrow. |

The North Shore of Lake Superior, in Minnesota. You need a car, though.
If you can hike part of the superior hiking trail do it. It's stunning and super nice |

You know how the grand canyon always looks kinda crazy in photos? It looks just as crazy in person and it is wild.
I honestly think the Grand Canyon is even crazier in person. In photos, it looks like a big hole, but in person it is truly a grand hole. |

The Roman Forum. The Colosseum is cool but way overrated. The Forum is so huge you can easily spend multiple days just wandering around enjoying its history. 10/10 would recommend. |

Reminds me of the Parks and Rec line from Ron Swanson. Something about only two things that are acceptable for a man to cry over. I forget the first one but the second was the Grand Canyon. I'm in no way ashamed to say that place got a tear in my eye.
Funerals. |

It's one of those places where you go and say, "oh okay I get it. This is incredible." Pictures don't do it justice. The physicality of being next to it is hard to describe. |

Jacksonville. Never heard a good thing about it.
And what is good about it? I lived there as a kid and driven through it numerous times. I'd consider it an armpit except I don't want to insult armpits. Don't care if I ever go back. |

I haven't been to Florida for it, but the one in CA is great. Knott's Scary Farm is also great. For both of you want to have a great time. Pay for the front of the line passes. Halloween horror nights can have 3 plus hour lines for an event that only lasts like 6 hours.
We went one year where it rained. We got pretty wet, but the lines all disappeared. It was amazing. |

I went to the Meiji Jingu in Tokyo on a rainy day (so less crowded) and... Yeah, wow. Didn't even take any photos, I was just enraptured the whole time. Beautiful environment, beautiful shrine. |

Venice. Nothing close to it anywhere on earth.
Venice would be my pick too. I was there to see the Vogalonga, which was spectacular. I spent a week wandering the canals, toured the Fenice and a hundred churches. I also had a lesson in rowing Venetian style, in the canals and out on the lagoon. The locals I met (mostly while food shopping) were gracious and friendly. . Magic city. |

My spare bedroom. It's great and can be yours for the low low price of £200 per night. Breakfast included! ^but if its a Friday night you have to put the bins out.^ |

I remember telling someone my sister and I were going to the Dordogne in France. He said, "Oh but it's so touristy." We went anyway, and it was awesome! The cave paintings alone made it worthwhile, but there was also beautiful scenery, great food, interesting towns. Highly recommend. |

Prague! Went there last September and had a great time. Beautiful and very walkable city, friendly people, and very affordable too. The city castle is an impressive site to behold, and one of the most touristy ones, but very doable if you go in the morning. But there are many other notable things to do and visit, such as the cold-war bunker under the Yalta hotel and the alchemy museum in the Jewish district. If you decide to visit, I would also recommend branching out for a couple of days to visit other cities like Pilsen (where pilsner beer comes from) or Liberec. |

Mt. Fuji was beautiful. Ideally you should hire a car and drive around it, theres a series of small lakes, and each time you round a corner you get another beautiful view of the mountain over a different waterfront. |

Kauai and Maui. Only two Hawaiian island I've been to. Kauai if you want scenic hikes and Allerton Gardens is a must see. Maui if you want great food. Door County Wisconsin and associated Washington Island when the lavender fields are in bloom. House on the Rock in Spring Green Wisconsin. I don't care how far away you live, you should see this place. It's either a monument to a man's ascent to brilliance... Or of his decent into madness. Words really cannot do this place justice, it's just insane. Red River Gorge, Kentucky. One of the greatest concentrations of natural bridges and arches in the world. I have spent years hiking in and around this area and still don't think I've seen all the arches. Come with your hiking boots and be prepared for moderate to difficult hikes that can include some climbing. Banff Canada: Took a ski trip to that area back in 1999. It's an absolutely spectacular area. Lake Louise is still my favorite place to ski after all these years. |

The Black Forest in Germany. Although you might want to skip the mass produced cuckoo clocks.
I love the Black Forest in Valheim! |

I've got a friend in Prague who wants us to visit, really annoyed that I haven't taken him up on that yet. |

Gaudi architecture is legit amazing and worth the wait and crowds. Didn't even have time to see the sagrada familia, just the hotel and the park. Then we had the worst meal of my life in a tourist trap resteraunt on las ramblas. Even including that, so worth it. Jiufen, taiwan - the village that people falsely claim inspired miyazaki's spirited away - is also just incredible. The views, the win...
Honestly La sagrada familia is my second favorite Gaudi work, the first one being La casa Batllo. Hope you get to see it next time, and if you do pick up either dawn or dusk, the light through the windows is awe inspiring. Also, yeah, the Rambla is mostly tourist traps, also every single restaurant around the park Güell is an extra nasty tourist trap. There are some good places nearby, but realistically you're probably better off eating at a Tapa Tapa (the McDonald's of tapas) than a random place at the Rambla. |

The sagrada familia is really cool. I highly recommend people get a guide (either the audio version or a real one) because the amount of detail is overwhelming.
It's one of the most mind blowing man-made things I've ever seen. The only thing I can think of that was similar to walking into it was walking into the building at Kennedy space centre with the Saturn V in it. |

Hiking it was fun! Looking at it was mostly a "Hmm that's big!". But the hiking was nice! |
