The eiffel tower at night when it's all lit up is MAGICAL. Also we did a river cruise around golden hour and seeing the eiffel tour at that time was so beautiful.

Im a tourist so Im going to ALL the tourist traps. Except the crappy restaurants.

The Colosseum and Arch de Triumphe are huge tourist traps worth seeing.

I’ve never understood the hate that a lot of tourist traps get. Most of them are worth a visit at least once!

The Tower of London was a highlight for me when I visited London. The Beefeater tour was fantastic.

I'm not sure if others would consider this a tourist trap but Sagrada Familia is definitely worth seeing. After seeing a bunch of different cathedrals around Europe I was skeptical about seeing another one, but Sagrada Familia is so unique. I could spend hours looking at the different scenes depicted both inside and outside the cathedral. I can't wait to see it again once it's finished!

Swiss Alps - Jungfrau, Zermatt, etc. Touristy, yes, breathtaking, also yes

When we went to Munich, we chose Hofbrauhaus because they were the only place that had live bands on a Monday. 100% worth it!

The Alhambra. One of the best tourist sights in Spain. What's good is how well executed the Nasrid Palace tour times are. By forcing everyone to book early limited time tickets, you actually don't feel overwhelmed by crowds. Also, Granada is way more than just the Alhambra. Spend at least 4 days there to see everything else the city has to offer.

Mona Lisa? Head to the basement in the same wing of the Louvre and you'll see art you've never heard of before👍❤

Wieliczka salt mines outside Kraków. Not cheap, full of tourists, but a must see!

The Hofbrauhaus's Music is best and also though food so good and Agustiner. Eiffel Tower so worth it to go up.

My daughter and I had an absolute blast and one of the best nights of our vacation at Temple Bar!!!!

[Chrisbs]

The royal mile in Edinburgh up to the castle. It is very much a tourist trap. But there is good food and fun shops and bagpipes and haggis neeps and taters and well to me it’s worth it.

I just realised I've been to most of these 'Tourist Traps'. I've enjoyed seeing them all. Heading off to Europe again in a couple of weeks and finishing up in Athens. Informative video as always Mark.

I've done many of these "tourist traps" and most all are worth it one time during a trip. Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, Hofbräuhaus, Tower of London, Marienplatz etc. Some though, like Collosseum and Pantheon in Rome, I could happily see over and over. Never tire of anything in Rome.

The Louvre is HUGE with so much to see! It's only that one room with the Mona Lisa that is crowded. Definitely go!

[gerryparker]

I never realized how lucky I was when I went to the Louvre. There was almost nobody in the room when I saw the Mona Lisa, so I was able to get as close as was allowed.

[donaldlewis]

There is a reason they are tourist traps - they are worth it! As you said - at least once! Love all of those places you mentioned. I would add Manneken Pis as well - yes, you only need to see it once, but it is worth it. Central Park or Times Square as well - it is electric. Central Park is an oasis of calm in a hectic city and worth a walk around to get some zen :)

The Hofbräuhaus definitely attracts many tourists. But I must say, the prices in the Hofbräuhaus are within the normal price range in Munich and the food is good quality. So I'm not sure, if it's really a “tourist trap”.
Even I – born and raised in Munich – go there from time to time.
