Canc??n
[ranking: 5]
What will you find in Cancun? Some of the nicest beaches in the world suffocated by some of the most extreme tourist infrastructure you??ve ever seen. Unless you're a frat boy, you're better off exploring the smaller villages along the coast. More Canc??n

Benoa, Bali, Indonesia
[ranking: 6]
If you've got a fetish for dead coral, this is the place for you! In Benoa the water's murky, there are hardly any fish, and every d-bag on a jet-ski is always about five feet away.
Graceland
[ranking: 7]
A tour of Elvis's home is going to run you about 30 bucks and the most exciting part is seeing that he had two TVs in his rec room. Even Graceland Too , when it was still open, was a better travel bet than this.
Salem
[ranking: 8]
This town was basically invented to separate tourists from their money. If you really feel like being cursed with the spell of moneyus spengingus go in the off season; Salem is a nightmare from September through October. More Salem

Hollywood Walk of Fame
[ranking: 2]
If you go to Los Angeles on vacation, don't go to the Walk of Fame unless you like walking past row after row of car dealerships and abandoned buildings while staring at the ground and looking at hand prints of C-List celebrities from the '40s while fending off buskers, the homeless and people trying to sell you their mix-tape. It also reeks of urine and on warm days it hangs thick in the air and stings the nostrils like opening a sealed case of apples left rotting for a year in a dank cellar. Seriously, Hollywood Blvd. is easily one of the worst places on earth and even if dildos, cheap suits and bongs in the shape of AK-47s are your thing you'll be better served hanging out on Melrose anyway because at least you can go thrift shopping, get a drink at a place that isn't meant to remind you of a Jimmy Buffet song and most importantly, you won't be on Hollywood Blvd.

Roswell
[ranking: 3]
Some notes on Roswell: Everything that can be shaped like an alien or a UFO, is shaped like an alien or UFO, but it's also covered in a thick layer of dust. Seriously, Roswell is creepy. And not in a fun haunted house way.
Blarney Stone
[ranking: 4]
There are so many great places in Ireland, it's mind blowing that anyone would want to pay to have some old curmudgeon lower them, belly up, to kiss the bottom of a castle. If you do visit the stone, remember that you're kissing everyone that castle has ever kissed.
Four Corners
[ranking: 9]
Not only is the four corners basically a giant plaque covered in grimy finger prints - but there are always a bunch of dorks Instagramming themselves in all four states.
Patpong
[ranking: 10]
Patpong is touted as Bangkok??s red light district for expats and tourists. In reality it??s about as sexy as Mao Zedong in a banana hammock.
Times Square
[ranking: 11]
Is there a grosser place on earth than Times Square? It may not be the den of iniquity that it was in the '70s, but with so many tourists crowding midtown Manhattan and gawking at signs for Chili's, there's no doubt that you'll catch the flu. More Times Square

Winston Churchill??s Britain at War Experience
[ranking: 12]
This exhibit is basically one big "YAY, WAR!" poster. Every year it draws in thousands of visitors to see a couple fake mannequins, which is a shame considering that several other authentic sites from World War II, including Churchill??s actual bunker, are just around the corner.
Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong
[ranking: 13]
Built in 2004, this trap's highlight is a statue of Bruce Lee in a kung fu pose. You'll find mainland Chinese tourists flocking to it in droves if you visit. All in all, it's about as satisfying as a paper cut.
Sydney Fish Market
[ranking: 14]
Although it markets itself as a tourist attraction, there isn??t much to see or do at the Sydney Fish Market apart from buying some overpriced fish. The view of the harbor isn??t that great either, as it??s blocked by several large cement factories.
Space Needle
[ranking: 15]
How much would you pay to ride in an elevator? If it's anything less than $20 (!!!) we suggest doing something more constructive while you're in Seattle. Like eating delicious donuts or starting a grunge band. More Space Needle

Dunn's River Falls
[ranking: 16]
No doubt, the waterfalls themselves are stunning, but the beauty is lost to the crowds of tourists making their way through the jungle from their respective cruise ships. If you do visit, do your best to not get hustled by "tour guides."
Leaning Tower of Pisa
[ranking: 17]
Isn't it great that such a poorly constructed building is still standing? Now who wants to spend 15 Euros to stand in line to take a picture where it looks like you're the one keeping this landmark from toppling over? Just all of these people? More Leaning Tower of Pisa

Central Tokyo
[ranking: 18]
Situated in the middle of the largest metropolitan area on Earth, most of central Tokyo is nothing but crowds and concrete. Try going off the grid if you get a chance to visit Japan - don't be a lazy tourist.
Taj Mahal
[ranking: 19]
It's no secret that India is crowded. Like, 1,210,000,000+ people crammed into 1,269,346 square miles crowded - and the Taj Mahal isn't any different. If you want a picture without any lookie loos, you can cross the Yamuna River - but you'll have to avoid the rotting sewage while you're over there. More Taj Mahal

Titisee
[ranking: 20]
While the goofy name of this lake in the Black Forest is fun to say, who knows why the Germans bothered to develop this dull spot into a tourist attraction. If you visit, you'll be wondering which is bigger: the lake or its parking lot?
Great Pyramid of Giza
[ranking: 21]
If you want to see the pyramids up close, your only choice is to join the sprawling crowds that can be made up of up to 5,000 people at a time. That doesn't exactly sound like the romantic Middle Eastern adventure most tourists probably have in mind. More Great Pyramid of Giza

Empire State Building
[ranking: 22]
We're not saying that the ESB isn't a marvel of infrastructure, but we are saying that it's a huge waste of time and that even if you don't bail before you push through thousands of tourists on your way to the viewing center, you're going to give up before you get a chance to look through the paltry amount tower viewers.

Forbidden City
[ranking: 23]
For centuries it was closed to outsiders, but now you can visit and shop in peace with thousands of other tourists. Unfortunately, the Starbucks inside the Emperor's Palace closed in 2007. More Forbidden City

Niagara Falls
[ranking: 24]
We can't argue that a bunch of water falling over a cliff in the ugliest part of New York state is kind of beautiful, but with all the expensive hotels and skeevy casinos overshadowing the natural wonder, you're better off staying at home and staring at your bath tub. More Niagara Falls

Old Town, Prague
[ranking: 25]
As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, Prague??s cobblestone streets are jam packed with tourists flocking to see medieval Old Town. If you really want a great view of the City of a Thousand Spires, cross Vltava River to one of the many parks on the opposite shore and take in the architecture.
Tower of London
[ranking: 26]
The Tower of London is only slightly more classy than your average haunted house. If you visit this snooze of a torture museum, make sure to bring a pillow. More Tower of London

Epcot
[ranking: 27]
Epcot was supposed to be the city of the future, but it turned out to be a giant waste of space full of racial stereotypes. Does the T in Epcot stand for "trigger warning?" More Epcot
