[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would invite everyone to consider the possibility that if you find somewhere overrated, it is because you are doing it wrong. Eg going in peak season, going to see shat all the tourists are seeing rather than quieter bug still interesting places etc.

People who blithely dismiss cities like Rome, which contain some of the greatest treasures of art, architecture, and history that the world has ever produced, as “overrated”…[/quote]

100%. I’ve been to every European place listed on here so far - none are really “over rated”.  I do have preferences, like Spain instead of Italy.  Everywhere in Europe instead of Germany.  But if you do the right trip at the right time, there are amazing experiences everywhere.

Everyone loves to hate Paris, I’ve been around 10 times and I love it and I’m far from a Francophile.[/quote]

Agree with this. I have been to every European country and Italy and Germany are my least favorite by far. [/quote]

Can’t argue with stupid. [/quote]

PP here. What is that supposed to mean? Have you also been to every European country? Or are you just another unsophisticated American who eats up the tourist trap that is all of Italy?[/quote]

[b]Basic Americans love to wax rhapsodic about their trip to Italy. [/quote][/b]

Oh please! I'm Italian-American and I've been going to Italy regularly since I was six years old and I'm 50-something now.  There are PLENTY of places in Italy where you can get away from the hordes that are spectacular.  My family is from two such regions - and no, I won't divulge them!!![/quote]
