8The Leaning Tower of Pisa – Pisa, Italy
While the Leaning Tower of Pisa is an iconic symbol of Italy, it is also smaller than many expect. Most visitors come for the obligatory photo of holding up the tower, but after snapping the picture, the excitement wanes quickly. The surrounding area of Pisa doesn’t offer much beyond the tower, and the throngs of tourists all posing in the same manner can detract from the experience.
Why It Might Disappoint:
- The tower is smaller than expected.
- The repetitive tourist photo ops can feel cliché and crowded.
