Avoid: The Leaning Tower of Pisa
Enjoy: Medieval towers of San Gimignano
While watching tourists posing with the Leaning Tower of Pisa is quite entertaining, the trip to visit this monument really isn't worth it. So, why not visit the small walled medieval hill town of San Gimignano in the province of Siena instead? The little town is a fabulous place to spend the day and it is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Avoid: La Sagrada Familia
Enjoy: La Catedral de Barcelona (Cathedral of Barcelona)
Okay, okay, before you get all up in arms, we know that La Sagrada Familia is an architectural marvel and a symbol of the city yadda yadda yadda, but it is slightly over-rated. The area around La Sagrada Familia is very crowded, the entry prices are expensive and the queues are long. La Catedral de Barcelona, on the other hand, dates back as far as 599 AD (possibly longer) and is free to enter. We know which one we would choose.
