Venice isn't 'overrated '. It's overly visited. The rather ironic problem with tourism is that tourists don't want to see other tourists ;).. But yes there are so many cities & towns in Europe that almost nobody knows about. Actually most cities in Italy are often skipped over because Rome -Venice - Florence is on almost every Italy package tour list.
Overly visited - aptly put! If I may, the existence of Venice itself is a wonder. It was a swamp where the Veneto inhabitants hid and settled to escape invasions from the "barbarians" following the fall of the Roman Empire. Venice is a city that exists against all odds ... And that to me is impressive. What is also impressive is how much its architectural influence extends to other parts of the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.
@@ds5379 Yes I love that whole area . Veneto ,Venezia gullia , Istria, etc . All those former Venetian stronghold, cities and towns.Finding forgotten fortress ruins & monuments with it's winged lion all around the coast .
i had such so high expactations on Venice and they were even excelled! Its the most beautiful place on earth for me, iv never seen something comparable, in my opinion Venice cant even get overrated, every overrating is just a underrating.
Yes, I've been going there for decades by now and it's still feels unique every time . When I do visit Venice I go in the winter . I take the first train so I arrive very early in the morning. And leave around 12 -1 in the afternoon and visit some smaller towns in the area.
@@mikeydeangelis Spend a week or two in Venice and explore properly and leisurely. I did three two-week stays (in connection with Italian courses) and got immersed in the city.
Vienna is pretty, and I enjoyed it whilst I was there of course, but it just seemed to lack something for me to want a repeat visit. Like an acquaintance that had some fun things that initially drew you to them, but was a bit too buttoned up, or pre-occupied with corporate pursuits. Difficult to compete when cities like Prague, Budapest and Krakow are not too far away and generally cheaper with as much or more to offer. Probably an excellent place to live though.
Venice is amazing. The most important thing when visiting Venice is to stay on the island itself. You can sit outside your hotel and it's silent, and then it's like someone presses a switch at 8am and suddenly crowds are walking past 8 people deep, and then around 6pm the same switch is pressed and they all vanish. You can walk around for weeks and find new things. If you arrive in the middle of the day and stay around San Marco, its packed and expensive - 2 streets further away in every direction it gets really quiet and much cheaper
I had a similar experience. I stayed northwest of San Marco and it was really enjoyable at night, but the problem was I couldn’t see anything! During the daylight when it’s best to admire all the architecture, everything was so crowded.
Most Americans go to expensive and over crowded olaces like London Paris, Switzerland and Venice. As a European i would recomend going to cities like Lisbon, Porto, Prague, Budapest and Krakow. If you are a seasoned traveller i also recomend Naples . Napoli is gritty and a bit scary at first sight, but this place has soul, fantastic food, not many tourist traps and is cheaper than other italian big cities.
Dear RUclipsr - you don‘t get it - how can you say that Venice is overrated - its insulting this unique place in the world - maybe forAmericans but don‘t do videos about European cities then
Personally I don't feel Nice is underrated. It's a well known destination and is adequately rated. Frankfurt is not overrated. Most people in Europe know it's just a business and airport hub, and my expectations when I went matched what I found. I had the pleasure to do Venice during Covid so I was one of the very few tourists around. Totally different vibe. Yes, tourists spoil it. But then most people visit the main island, while islands like Murano and Burano might not be that frequently visited by the day trip tourists to Venice and are less busy. They both give a "real Venice" vibe, and Burano is just simply cute and fairytale like. If you haven't been and you're in the area, both worth a visit.
Perhaps as an American my perspective is slightly different than yours. In America, Nice is talked about very little, while many people talk about how amazing Frankfurt is. That is probably why my expectations and opinions are slightly different than yours. And thank you for sharing about those places near Venice! Perhaps one day I’ll get to return and visit them.
@@mikeydeangelis yes I understand that from an American perspective, Nice might not be talked about as often. Still wondering who would describe Frankfurt as awesome though. It really is one of the most boring cities in Europe from a tourist perspective. 😁 Oh, and totally with you on Brussels. If it weren't hyped as the administrative capital of the EU, I doubt many would give it the time of day. And the Manekin Pis must be one of the most overhyped tourist attractions ever.
Kotor has only 1000 people...but is beautiful in every way....walking when sun comes down along coastline with many tiny cafes and restoraunts never get old for me. As someone who grow up in old Yugoslavia and went every summer for a month to coastline even when it was same country Croatian coastline was extremely popular for west tourist while Montenegro was mostly visited by domestic tourists.But i always loved Montenegro with its combination off beaches and mountains
I'll agree with you on Vienna, disagree on Venice. For me Florence and Barcelona are overrated (I know this is controversial), while Porto, Portugal and Palermo, Sicily are underrated. But as you said, none of these are bad, they should all be visited if possible.
I wouldn't say that Venice is overrated, it is a beautiful city with no comparable city in both structure and architecture. The problem is that it is overcrowded with tourists, who are often VERY disrespectful. That's why they have decided to put a ticket so as to limit entries in the city.
Venice was already overcrowded back in the early eighties. I can barely imagine how it might feel nowadays. Also I do not think it is worth a second visit unless you've been rushed while visiting the first time.
Venice is no worse than many other touristy cities in Italy and elsewhere. But you can easily find quiet streets and canals there. Most tourists stick to a few areas. I've been there four times, and plan to go back.
It's a fair video and got really good tips from it, thanks! As for Venice, it's more a museum than a city. It's sinking and people don't live there anymore, but it has great historical value and needs to be kept for future generations. And their "sitting" policy is ridiculous... The expectation a tourist should have is that of visiting a big museum.
I disagree that Venice is a just a big museum. There are still over 50,000 people living all over the city. You can easily find non-touristy areas where you can see local life, but locals live in touristy areas too. I've done two-week homestays in Venice (connected with Italian courses) in normal Venetian residential buildings full of locals, not tourists. Sure the population has shrunk (it reached 200,000 in past centuries) and something needs to be done to get people to stay and also to return and move there from the mainland.
@@aviadilo I did wonder when I visited whether ANYONE still lived there. I assumed a small number still remained, but hardly noticeable. Not that I walked down every street, but it certainly looked like a ghost city overtaken by tourists and the workers offering services to said tourists. I presume some of those workers still live there, or they might be the entire 50.000 you're talking about. Small islands like Murano and Burano are clearly inhabited.
Ive been to ALL the countries of Europe (yes, seriously) and all the cities you mentioned in this video. My main concern about your review is that you don't really share the criteria you've used to define whether or not a city/town is overrated or underrated. Did you go with food, charm, cost, art, culture, etc? Secondly, there are truly way too many variables in this attempt of yours to rate the cities that it's virtually impossible and unfair to attempt such endeavor, let alone make it valid and democratic. For example, Vienna (in your overrated list) has one of the most incomparable art scenes in Europe (Staatsoper, Kunsthistorisches, Burgtheater) when Kotor (underrated) hardly has any. And, quite frankly, anyone who concludes that Venice is overrated simply just hasn't done their research well enough or been there long enough to know about its treasures. Overall, I found your essay misleading and well unfounded.
To answer your question, I rated every city on a wide range of criteria (food, price, charm, activities, and museum culture, to name a few). However if I would’ve broken down every category for every city, the video would’ve been an hour long and no one would’ve watched it. Secondly, like I stated in the video, this is just my opinion. I encourage polite disagreement and discussion. I’m glad you like Venice, but that doesn’t mean that I have to. Also, “overrated” does not mean “bad.” It just means that the expectations I had were not met. For example, I am American, and in America, Venice is constantly glorified and romanticized as the greatest city in the world. I’ve been to Venice twice, and neither time did it meet the expectations I had. That doesn’t mean it is “bad,” just overrated. Finally, this video is supposed to be fun, lighthearted, and spark conversation, nothing too serious. I’m just one guy with my own opinions who was very lucky to visit some amazing places.
@@mikeydeangelisBut the question is where do your expectations come from?! From pictures, movies, stories...? I think expectations are even different as the people which have one. If I want to see (as an american) for example 1000 years old castles and I am disappointed, bc. they don`t mostly look like the castles from disney movies than its MY fault and not the fault of the castles or the city, country in which it is!!!
@@nelerhabarber5602 Most of my expectations came from a wide range of sources. Recommendations and reviews from family and friends, guide books and RUclips videos, and to a degree movies and such.
@@mikeydeangelis As I said, expectations are different, and I don`t go to a new country having them, except of things like nature, architecture, etc. So I can`t be "disappointed", bc architecture, mountains, waterfalls, vuolcanos,.... ARE THERE, they don`t disappear while i`m visiting the place. And yes, crowds of tourist are annoying and can take away the original beauty, BUT its not the fault of the places and you should You should just find out when is the best time to visit these places WITHOUT mass tourism. It always reminds me of the vacation part when EVERYONE leaves on the same day at the same time (school holidays) and then gets stuck in traffic for hours and arrives at their destination annoyed and stressed. NEVER happened to us because we knew when the best time to drive was!.The same applies to food, for example. Always look for small, simple local restaurants where the locals frequent; you will always find the best, most original and cheapest food there and get to know the country and its people. The "problem" with tourists is that they act like tourists!
The worst list i ever seen. An 18-teen year old who have been to 10 places in Europe and call the places he don’t like overrated and vice versa.. And some of the examples were redicoulus, like calling Brussels overrated… i have never heard of anyone waiting to go to Brussels..
Venice is definitely not overrated. It's the most beautiful, enchanting city in the world, and a paradise for pedestrians. It does get lots of tourists, but there are plenty of areas where there are few tourists and you can enjoy peace and quiet. You can easily find places where locals live and shop. Amsterdam, Bruges and other cities with canals don't compare with Venice. Canals are a smaller part of those cities, while in Venice they're everywhere. Also, in those other cities, cars are parked along canals, unlike Venice. About Ljubljana, I agree with you it's underrated. I was born there - yes, it's a nice city to live in and to visit.
You shouldn't connect overrated and underrated with your expectations. You said a lot of positive things about the overrated places you mentioned. You get something from everywhere you go. Stop comparing. Comparing something because it's not what you want it to be is disingenuous. This is your personal opinion.
Venice is unique, its architecture is a mixture of western and eastern elements. No other city in the world can be compared to it. The cathedral is stunning and also its beautiful canals. Tastes differ, but you can't say Venice is overrated, I know you need some new subscribors for your channel, not me for sure!
Venice’s architecture was beautiful, I completely agree, but the crowds and touristy-feel made it a bit less-enjoyable than many other cities in Italy that less people talk about. Remember, this is just my own opinion, and I encourage disagreement. Talking about it is fun as long as we are kind to one another
Completelly wrong! Vienna is very easy to get around and is quite far from being overrated! It is a fantastic city and trully unique because the entire city feels majestic. Like Rome, the entire city is a museum, but instead of the roman empire is the habsburgs empire. Brussels is not overrated because it is not even highly rated. It is an interessant city, but not a must-do by any means. It is just a good location to get to know the rest of the country, that is highly underrated. Venice is not overrated. Everything said about that city is really true. But because of that the city, which is small, is full of tourists. And that is for a reason, the city is trully unique. Frankfurt is not overrated because it is one of the worst cities in Germany. Honestly, who considers Frankfurt a nice destination? It can be seen in one day, feels more like an american city than a german one and almost nothing to see.
Nice underrated ...!!!! For God's Sake man,its One of the mos overrated cities in the world. A beach without sand only stones,the prices are Over the roof,ah and its got the cinema festival with huge Private Yatchs just posing there for the picture,and you might see a celebeitie. But this is only 4 weeks a year,the rest is a shitty very expensive town.
When I went to Nice it was the winter, so I actually had no issues with prices or crowds. In fact, I was able to eat and stay in Nice for less than many other places I traveled to. I just had to stay a bit outside the old town.
Ljubljana is very beautiful, friendly People not too expensive and in the Middle of Europe so close to many places. Nice is not that nice, Marseille is more beautiful, Venice is gorgeous but also very crowded, very expensive and not friendly at all like most big cities in Italy 🤔
The problem with Belgrade for me as an American carrying A US passport? Our corrupt idiot of a President in the 90's, who I did not vote for, bombed the hell out of Belgrade for no good reason. I was appalled at the time, but there was nothing that I could do about it. Serbs are not a people who forget such a act. I know that as an American, who cannot speak their language, I would face animosity and resentment for a crime that I had nothing to do with.
going to frankfurt and complaining why its modern and has the not overall oldtown charm? ok makes sense. vienna is 10 times best city in the world to live in, and you have problems to find your way around, because why? the infrastructure is not so good or what. maybe you should inform yourselve in advance before judging
