Reddit users listed the most overrated cities in the world, meaning those with excessive hype and considered “boring” by many. Among the many comments, Dubai was particularly highlighted. According to users, Dubai is an artificial, materialistic, and impersonal place with no unique cultural or historical beauty. One commenter wrote: “This is the most boring and expensive city in the world. Dubai is not the end of the world, but from there you can see the end of the world.”
The second most frequently mentioned city was Las Vegas. According to portal visitors, the city is dominated by noise, chaos, and high costs. It was possible to get used to this before, but now the city has become very expensive.
Other frequently mentioned cities included Los Angeles and Miami in the United States, Cancun in Mexico, Cairo in Egypt, as well as Dublin in Ireland and Paris in France. According to portal users, Paris can also sometimes seem excessively dirty and expensive. One commenter noted: “It’s uncomfortable to say, but Paris is like that.”
This list has made internet users’ opinions about cities more interesting and debatable and has encouraged discussions about global tourist and material values.
