Where’s the one place you never want to visit again?

Legoland, total nightmare, and IKEA.

IKEA good call!
Lucca, no worries

Isle of Wight. Never again.

I loved the Isle of Wight

Morecambe. We were close by, took a detour to visit and drove straight out again. Overwhelming smell of chip fat, rails of cheap tat outside shops.

Riverwalk

Turkey
Got hassled for the whole two weeks we were there .

It's funny how we all have different experiences - I've been to Turkey many times and never had any problems. Istanbul is one of my favourite cities.

Same here. We usually holiday in Turkey twice a year and have done for the past 15 years or so. I'm guessing Daisytwoshoes was in one particular resort, and if so, it's a shame to dismiss an entire country based on that one experience. Turkey is such a vast, fascinating country with so much to see and do. Istanbul is probably my second favourite city ever - after my own, Edinburgh.

Me to Ro60
Barbados is my most favourite place

Think it was called Altincum
It was about 20 years ago
Went with my cousin and her 2 children

I LOVE the Isle of wight - such a pretty island
I LOVE Ibiza - away from the 'party island' places around San Antonio it is as beautiful as any of the other Balearic Islands. We were about to book to go there early last year when all the covid stuff started

Morocco went there in the late 70s could not get away quick enough. Paris I have been there a few times to see if there is anything I like about it but no there isn’t.

The Gambia. Too much hassle and British lady pensioners go for the young men! I was sitting quietly by myself reading and a security guard approached me and asked suggestively 'are you alone?' I was quick to tell him that my husband would be back soon.

I also have childhood memories of Weston and like to visit, brings back memories of walking along holding my dad's hand. He died when I was a child so those memories are precious.

I loved Rome and despite the fact that my daughter was walking along with her bag open and her purse on top we didn't have anything stolen, a nice man in the market tried to explain to her that she needed to keep things safe in that area.

We managed to have some nice meals quite reasonably, follow local working people at lunchtime, the places might not look very upmarket but the food was good and cheap.

Don't buy an icecream though, that could bankrupt you.

I wouldn’t go back to be Egypt. I know it well because OH worked there for 3 years and I stayed out there in my holidays. Constant hassle, rude remarks etc. I knew a beautiful blonde Finnish woman who couldn’t take the staring and the touching any more and went back to Finland. I would go back to Rome even though we were robbed twice! If OH hadn’t had his work American Express card we would have been scuppered.

theworriedwell I have lovely childhood memories of Weston (aka Birmingham by the Sea) too.
That’s where we went with my maternal Grandparents in the 70s. Really special times.
We then went more upmarket, (in the upwardly mobile 80s ) and swapped to Sidmouth and Falmouth.

Almost any motorway service stations!

A big city in the east of England over the Bridge from Skeggy which shall remain nameless.

What if you inadvertently say this to someone who lives in one of these places? How do you worm your way out of it?

You don't have to Josianne. If that's what you feel that's what you feel.

Dubai, dirty dusty and a building site.

Exactly - I'm sure there will be gransnetters who live in Blackpool, for example. I've no problem telling people why I don't like the place. It's be a boring old world if we all liked the same things - or places.

We used to go in the 50s. Coach journey down the A38, murder in the summer particularly with a mother and a sibling who were travel sick.

Happy days.

Phuket

Attended a wedding there and hated the place.

Naples - just grim.
Great Yarmouth.
I agree about motorway service service stations Aveline - I was at one in Leicester a couple of weeks ago, I think its scarred me for life. I was mortified to think that people from other countries would think that was normal.

Dubai, all totally false and with a ghastly airport.

The Lincolnshire Wolds are beautiful Minimoon some lovely villages and beauty spots.

I used to live in Bridlington when I was young and went back a few years ago. I was very disappointed to find it dirty and uncared for.
