What's the most overrated tourist attraction in your country?

The Nullarbor Links is the world's longest golf course, stretching 1,365 kilometres along the Eyre Highway from Ceduna, South Australia to Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (or vice versa)

Lets face it. After 2 + days of driving your going to miss most of these just to get to your destination quicker. And some of the holes aren't even well maintained...

The Tower of London.

Followed closely by Westminster Abbey..

@peterlee I've not visited either but wonder the validity of the description "tourist attractions" for working churches - which is what Westminster Abbey is, really.

@ArishMell You can still go to the services for free, but it costs £31 as a visitor. It is cramped inside, full of monuments you might like, including tomb of the unknown solder. Poets corner is small. But it’s the number of tourists that destroy the atmosphere. Lincoln cathedral is an exact replica, built at the same time. Go there for the architecture.

@peterlee Ah, the irony of the tourist attraction being too attractive for its own good.

All the theme parks, Disneyland, DisneyWorld, Sea World, Universal - over priced, over hyped and too many people

Plymouth Rock. I should know. I live right here in town with it, and many, MANY's the time I've stood above it and listened to the tourists who actually can't believe how small it is! Or that we have the nerve to show it off!


"Key Events in the Rock's Damage & Relocation

• 1774: Townspeople tried to haul the rock to the Town Square using a team of oxen, causing the boulder to split cleanly in two. The top half was moved to the square, while the bottom half stayed by the waterfront.
• 1834: During another attempt to move the top portion from the Town Square to the Pilgrim Hall Museum, it broke or fractured further.
• 19th Century: Countless visitors and souvenir hunters chipped off small pieces and fragments, reducing the rock to roughly one-third or one-half of its original size.
• 1880: The two main split halves were finally reunited and cemented back together at the waterfront, and the year "1620" was carved into the stone."

Weren't skinheads spraypainting swastikas on it every 4/20 to celebrate Adolph's birthday (and upcoming return)? Necessitating chipping more and more of it off
