The 9 most disappointing tourist attractions in the world

These 9 places in the world, perhaps, are popular and attractive for tourists, but most likely, having finally reached these attractions and seeing them with your own eyes, you will be very disappointed. The fact is that in reality these monuments, statues and other masterpieces are not so big, grandiose and impressive, as in beautiful pictures in magazines.

Manneken Pis

Brussels, Belgium.

This bronze sculpture of a naked boy who urinates in a fountain is one of the most popular in the world. But, having seen it with your own eyes, you will understand that the size of the child is so insignificant that the sculpture is hardly worth the close attention of tourists from all over the world.

Plymouth stone

Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Every year, millions of tourists visit this place, and many of them leave disappointed, since the stone is only a third of the size of the original and does not make much impression.

Mermaid

Copenhagen, Denmark.

Who would have thought that one of the most frequently photographed statues in the world in size is actually no more than a seven-year-old child ?!

Mount Rushmore

Keystone.

Despite the fact that the presidential faces are indeed quite large and reach a height of about 20 meters, tourists complain that they are very disappointed in their size. Perhaps the whole point is that they cannot be seen close.

Mona Lisa

Paris, France.

Why is she smiling so much? Probably because you saw the expression on your face when you realized that you had just stood a few hours in line and gave a considerable amount just to see this, in fact, a very small picture! You might as well have opened it on your iPad.

Checkpoint charlie

Berlin, Germany.

By and large, this is an ordinary canopy, surrounded by sandbags, next to which now, ironically, McDonald’s is located.

Alamo Mission

San Antonio, Texas.

Speaking of this mission, most people imagine a great fortress. In reality, a very small part of the original building has been preserved.

Liberty Bell

Philadelphia, USA

And again it should be said about the deep disappointment that befell tourists who, for some reason, expected to see a bell the size of an elephant.

Taj Mahal

Agra, India.

You will be very disappointed when you realize that a luxurious palace is basically just the facade of a building with a single small hall.
