Cities you'd never return to

lufties

Having been in a good few places around the world, I would have to say Budapest is a beautiful one with regard to history and architecture, but it is definately to most unfriendly place I've been, the people I encountered were rude and unhelpful consistantly, hence I will not be returning. Other than that I'd say stuttgart in germany(yawn), or varanassi in India, an interesting place but a nightmare to get around.

Atlanta. Nice city overall but there are an awful lot of homeless people there trying to get money off ya.

I'd go back there (hopefully in August). Had a great time there last year. I had company so didn't have to depend on strangers to make my trip

I found Budapest great, but was told by the person running the hostel that anyone over 30 I should expect them to be rude to me. Not to take it personally. He said times are slowly changing and te younger people are more aware of international visitors. The younger people we met where more than helpful to us

Bratislava, although similar attitudes I wouldn't return to. Its a lovely city, just very dull. Not an awful lot happening.

Vienna I also found quite boring. Great if your in your late 30s/40s and looking for museums etc but not really for me.

Jesus what a smug post, yes I also had company and didn't depend on anyone, just making an observation thst the people are miserabld generally.

Freetown, Sierra Leone...still have nightmares, dangerous kip.

Probably Prague, I just didn't like it at all seemed so dark and dingy. The freezing weather and snow didn't help either; for me it's a place I've seen once and that's enough.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Sydney. Too big and busy.

Prague, beautiful city but the people in it are wan**r's!!

I went to thermopylae once. 300 hundred locals turned up at a narrow passageway coming into the town and all huddled together and wouldnt let us through.
We had to camp there took us months to get in.

have you been to london or new york?

I'd say Malaga. People weren't the nicest. Found Stuttgart a lovely place op. Maybe because I was there for the beer fest. Also didn't think much of Sydney

Yeah its a shame because it was great otherwise. But its gets a bit tiresome when they're outside your hotel waiting for you to come out, constantly hounding you. Although TBH I wouldn't go back to America full stop. I got sick of been interrogated in customs.

Stavro Mueller

Barcelona - I can't quite put my finger on why I disliked the place but I did.

Drunshambo.

Amsterdam. It doesn't really have anything you wouldn't see in most other northern Euro capitals.

I'm going there next week.

Henry Ford III

Paris. I wasn't at all impressed. Granted it was a rugby trip and we saw no sights and drank a lot.

LA & Boston
Hated them
Well I mean I have a couple of friends in LA so I'd go back to see them of course but otherwise no

The falls are amazing but other than that Niagra in Canada. The only way of the describing it is as the illegitimate love child of Las Vegas and Bray.

I have no interest in America either for some reason but I probably will return at some point.

I've been there twice. I found the people were either incredibly polite or incredibly rude. There's no middle ground. I enjoyed it more the second time though.

Casablanca. Only time I've ever felt unsafe.

Really want to put down a city but I've liked every city I've been to. I'll say Warsaw though only because it was ****ing freezing there.

Belize City... Only place I feared for my safety.

Paris and Venice. Unless you speak French Paris feels unfriendly. I thought Venice was an overpriced kip.

Fantastic place, not so if you're a lady in all fairness.

The Moroccan's are very touchy-feely/lascivious towards the ladies...

I aggressively told more than a few to fook off away from my woman when we were there :mad:

I'm surprised no one has posted my favourite phrase on boards yet. Which is "thinly veiled I have been abroad". Like its not in the slightest bit funny.

But I wouldn't go back to anywhere in china. Particularly the smaller cities where you kept on seeing the same people for a day. Because the police follow you(plain clothed). Even in McDonald's there is plain clothed officers to stop you getting robbed

Vojera

Hamburg. Booooring.

Saying that I actually had a great time because I was with my friends, but I've no desire to go back.

Same with Boston. It was okay but if I was flying that far I'd rather do something new.

I wouldn't go back to Dublin in a hurry. Full of pick pockets.

I hired a body guard over there, came with his own machete and free ganja. Lovely chap, took us to meets the family and all. I'd hire my own security again if going back, there very cheap.

Having lived in Hong kong, I would never ever ever go to mainland china.

Rome, Italy in general. You have to pay to get in nearly everywhere and everyone is trying the gouge as much money as possible from you.
