In Sweden/Stockholm:

Avoid Akalla/Hjulsta/Kista

They are all boring and sees a lot of gang crime.

Just make sure to avoid Brussels. Belgian myself and I hate the place.

The green dots are all fascinating places that I've visited or want to visit in France

Note that none of them are in P🤮ris

CDG airport. I hate that place so much.
Heathrow, Schiphol and Frankfurt are all so much easier to navigate.

On a serious note though: I’ve never bern anywhere in Europe that I straight up disliked. Sanremo was probably the «least friendly» with locals all pushing us towards the casino at every oportunity. The city was also surprisingly worn down.

The local market was awesome though.

Not a European, but I'm going with dark alleys.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago

Well, yeah, in some places, but there's countries where that's a far worse idea than in Europe.

Dublin is a kip, you have far better options throughout Ireland, if you want a city go to Cork or Belfast. Galway is a bit boring to me but could be your scene. After that there are loads of little spots with loads going for them. The entire west coast is great.

Dont rent a big car, I mean big by irish sandards.

Zakopane, Poland. Greedy bastards.

Almost every reason given sounds like a description of my home of Florida.

I was disappointed with Paris in my last visit. It's filthy, dirty and disgusting.
