this poll sucks - you can't vote for more than one.

Which *tourist trap* is soooooo NOT worth seeing?

Statue of Liberty. That thing is small. And its not worth the climb up. So many people pushing you from behind to keep going. You only get to see a small view for like 10 seconds before the traffic has pushed you past the view. And the steps are narrow and steep.

This poll does suck. One of the first places that came to mind was Orlando. But it's not on there? :confused:

That might qualify for the worst tourist trap in Florida, or southern US, but certainly not for the entire world.

You should definitely put Prague on that list... $6 for a Budweiser?

It's not Anheuser Busch Budweiser, it's the original.

how'd you manage to pay $6 for ANY beer in Prague? the most expensive beer i could find there was ~$1.50

and like nakedfrog said, Budvar is verry different from the American Bud

Relative to other greek islands, mykonos could be considered a tourist trap...but that doesn't exactly mean by any stretch that it would suck to be there right now.
