Whether it’s the crowds, the cleanliness, the noise, long lines, or price gouging, some of the world’s best known tourist attractions just don’t live up to the hype—and a new analysis by eSIM company Nomad has unearthed where the world’s worst tourist traps are in 2025.

The remainder of the Top 5 were also located in Europe: Dublin’s Temple Bar district came in third overall (with 687 reviews); the former Cold War border crossing of Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, Germany, came in fourth (681 reviews); and Edinburgh’s famous cobblestoned Royal Mile came in fifth (539 reviews).
