Seems like the winner today is Venice as the most overrated with Disney up there as well! Appreciate all the feedback on this today. Stay tuned for next weeks' question! Any guess what that one will be? :) Thanks for all of the comments on the Travel Tuesday question! Seems like the winner today is Venice as the most overrated with Disney up there as well!

Definitely Paris. Although Athens runs a decent race for second. I'm not so into the spread out shopping city thing. Give me something walkable and interesting at every turn. Venice feels historically-dirty to me, while Paris feels icky-dirty to me. It may also be that I can't get over my first view of Paris full of strikes so no museums and no garbage pickup. Not to mention the classic inability to eat due to language. Give me Vienna or London any day. Paris.. Definitely Paris. Although Athens runs a decent race for second.

I love California, but definitely more the San Francisco area. It always amazing me why people in coffee capitals of the world, such as Vienna or Paris, would go to international chain coffee shops, having the most amazing coffee everywhere else. But maybe it's the novelty factor and trying something different. Great points about L.A.! I love California, but definitely more the San Francisco area.

Although I have to say that I would usually get to Venice very early in the morning and see bakeries and coffee shops as they were opening... In no time, I'd forget about their less-than-crystal-clear canals and focus on the breakfast delicacies. :) As for an overrated destination, probably Amsterdam. Not a whole lot impressive, unless you're only interested in the type of thrills not legally available elsewhere. Venice is very unique and worth seeing, but I prefer other cities in Italy.

I think all cities have charm if your open to exploring it. That said, there are always those that are 'over-hyped'. For me, I'd say Cairo, Mumbai and Hanoi.
