Is where you live also a tourist destination?

[OfDeath]

Yes

Yes but only for a particular event once per year

Not a tourist destination, but a very well kept secret

No. Just a boring but safe location

Tourists would be advised to avoid this area

The only tourists here are people who have been led into a trap and they're about to get rolled

If you consider a crack den a hotel sure

[fbk94]

Absolutely yes

In the meantime, I would appreciate it if you could comment on my question.

Girls, An unfortunate man?

If you have a dating mobile app, what should it be called?

[WindAtMyBack]

Not currently but I have in the past. I didn't pay attention to the tourists though. I normally didn't even know who they were unless they were swimming in the ocean without a wet suit. Not many people did that though.

I only lived there about 8 months because it was very expensive to live there. The rent for just a room was about three times higher than the highest I ever paid for an entire apartment.

[Jamie05rhs]

Let me guess: Hawaii?

[purplepoppy]

My county's heavily reliant on tourism. Mostly it's families coming for the beaches but we get a lot of hikers and campers from all around the world too.
It's pretty safe, you might get a couple of drunk tourists punching each other but murder is extremely rare, some years we can't be bothered to kill anyone.

[Anjoomkabir]

I'm a 5 minute walking distance away from Buckingham Palace so yes!

[OfDeath]

Never heard of it...

[anniisa97]

Oh your rich…

Yes I live in Barcelona in Spain. One of the most visited cities in the world. I moved here a year ago, also happen to live in the area where there are a lot of architecture attractions. It is beautiful and insane! At first I was enjoying it but now I'm moving to the outskirts of the city, it is so much better, livable and where there are actually some locals and culture you can learn, and still be connected to the whole Provincia (mountain, beach) because public transport is very well connected.

Source from Google about world's most visited cities:

17. Barcelona – 9.09 Million Visitors
Country: Spain Total International Visitors: 9.09 million Last Year’s Rank: 17

"Barcelona is generous with its fresh sea bounty and world-class architecture.

You can expect as many flavors of architecture as there are tapas – too many to see in a week.

From Roman-era subterranean spaces to the Gothic Quarter of the Middle Ages, to Gaudi’s modernism masterpieces, the city is dotted with magnificent architecture.

Sandy beaches, rolling Collserola hills, majestic Montjuic and sculpture gardens add to the picturesque layout. With endless museums, galleries, taverns and green spaces to visit, you’ll be on your feet from day to night."

They forgot to add a lot of bars, parties, festivals, night clubs and legal cannabis clubs. This city does not sleep. But is really safe.

I used to live in Hollywood California. You go one block in the wrong direction and you'll think you're in Mexico. I'm not bullshiting you... some of the stores will take pesos instead of US Dollars.

[OfDeath]

So I've heard. I've also heard it's a bit of a dangerous place outside the tourist attractions

[D_Bone_Steak]

I don't walk around with 2 guns and knives just because I liked the Joker movie. But yeah, it's a shit show. I was glad to get outta there. People would get shot to death right outside where I can watch it from my apartment window about once or twice every few months. I was cool with the local gang members and friends with the "shooter" (whatever the fuck that means) and I was kinda like a celebrity for being the only white guy there. Had the punk rock Mexican girlfriend and everything.

[OfDeath]

Shit... you made the right choice to leave.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Hell yeah, I did. The only real reason I got left alone was that I owned a vicious ass dog and never went anywhere without him. My dog wanted to rip everyone's throat out that tried to talk to me. I wasn't rich, so I went straight from there to the military as soon as my dog died.

[anniisa97]

It’s b for me. We have the best music festivals in the country so every summer we have a lot of tourism. People, including celebs from all over the country come to visit.

[OfDeath]

Music festivals are the best night out

[susie22]

Yes, it is. Great climate, lots to see and do, and one of the busiest Cruise ports in the world.

[OfDeath]

Where is it?

[susie22]

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

[OfDeath]

Oh cool, I've been there. Which proves your point.

[EllaNella]

not really. it's a very safe city but there just aren't that many tourist attractions here. I like it tho. I've lived at a tourist destination before & the city was just too overrun in the summer

[menina]

It depends. Are we talking about the town where I live? Nope, it's not a tourist destination. If someone wanted to come here, they would only see sheep, horses and rude people. If we're talking about the city, then yes, it's a tourist destination as well as the country.

[Puppystarfish23]

I live I a city which has been pretty unknown until recently because of the football team and the fact they found king Richard the third buried in a car park. It had some tourism for a sort second but as soon as people realised what a shit hole it was no one bothered again. We only get foreigners coming to my city to immigrate

[Dinklex3]

I don't think so 🤔

It's not boring either though.

[OfDeath]

Not too heavy, not too light

[Anonymous]

I'm from Atlanta and these are common issues.

[OfDeath]

You can't win with her lol

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I’m in New York so people go to Manhattan or Niagara Falls

[OfDeath]

The city that never sleeps

[Likes2drive]

Yeah and also known as the big apple

[Jamie05rhs]

Bit of a distance between those two places. Lol

[Likes2drive]

@Jamie05rhs yeah about eight hours since I’ve done the drive

[Jamie05rhs]

@Likes2drive Well, at least you like to drive. 😄

[Likes2drive]

@Jamie05rhs Yeah, it’s nice to see everything in between when traveling 😊

[Jamie05rhs]

@Likes2drive Agreed! I took that route once before myself. (Though instead of splitting off on 390, I just kept going on 86 to Cleveland.)

[Likes2drive]

@Jamie05rhs I guess you wanted to take the scenic route 😊 I’ve driven cross country over 30 years , that was a lot of driving but I sure got to see a lot along the way

[Jamie05rhs]

@Likes2drive It's a lot more fun than boring old Interstate 80.

[Jamie05rhs]

And that's awesome, man. You should write a MyTake about your trips sometime. I would definitely read it.

[Dnice1]

Well there are lots of surrounding places where we have lots of people visit and we do have one of the top of the line colleges, high point university

[OfDeath]

Nice

[Anonymous]

Not really. It is the kind of place people stop at while traveling to somewhere better.

[OfDeath]

At least it's not completely ignored

[AsaKyo]

People only come to where I live to crash for a little bit, do some fucked up shit, then go back to where they originally come from lmao..

My area is just the "refugee hangout" I guess

[AviatorTom]

Nope, not for tourists, though there are some interesting things to see and do around here. That's why we like living here.

[TrueConfection]

Our population almost doubles in the summer.

[TroyDT2]

Perhaps a bit for people in state, but I generally do not run into a lot of international tourists. Some during the summer months. Too pricy, maybe.

[humanearth]

Only if your into hunting and fishing

[OfDeath]

I love fishing

[katiesmuff]

Yes it is and the annual migration of the snow birds has already begun!

[KostasKouvalis]

It's not like SUPER popular like the places in your photos, but we do get a lot of people coming for outdoor tourism. This year we had a surprising amount of people from other countries.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

It's not and it's not only boring but it's also unsafe.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I wish it isn't.

[OfDeath]

Why?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

There's a legendary old university nearby that's frequented by people.
Generally, the SF Bay Area & Silicon Valley are always busy.

[OfDeath]

But isn't it an exciting place to live?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It is and I don't wanna change that.
I'll just be the one to change... change residence to the outskirts where it's quiet.

[zagor]

Until a few months ago, when I moved. Although the neighborhood I lived in definitely wasn't a tourist attraction. Boring 'burb.

[Anonymous]

Yes and sometimes you would have tourists walk up to you and ask "do you speak English " as first question then "where can I find Bunkers/Trenches/Old battlefields/abandoned tanks" sometimes they can be rude

[berwise13]

I lived in Augusta Ga for 25 years & the Masters golf tournament is always first full week of April

[Charlesbrandonf]

San Francisco..! Yeah

[exitseven]

Yes, the area had a big historical past.

[slatyb]

Seattle? Sort of, but it's not a huge draw.

[PetiteBabe64]

No it’s where I live.

[whereismyjohnny]

Yes.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes.

[MONKSKIN1]

Kind of


I live in Leicester in England

[Jamie05rhs]

@MONKSKIN1
Pardon my ignorance, but what is Leicester known for?

[TrillXHippy]

Nope not really

[Babygirl_S]

Yes it is.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes, it is.
