15 cities you thought were romantic but really aren’t

Cities you thought were romantic: It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the many possibilities out there. You’ve got friends who are trekking through Europe for a month, others who are jetting off to a tropical paradise and even some who are staying local to take in the sights that the country has to offer. Those options don’t narrow by much if you’re going away while hand-in-hand with the love of your life.

Romantic possibilities can be found all across the globe, whether your idea of love is set beach-side, in a charming old world city or against the backdrop of an iconic skyline. However, not all romantic getaways are created equal, and even some of the most renown hotspot couples’ destinations can come with hiccups and concerns unknown to first-time visitors.

For this list of cities that don’t quite measure up to their romance hype, I’ve accounted for both the inherent potential for having a bad experience and the level of expectation associated with the destination. Paris makes for a far more enjoyable trip than Acapulco, for instance, but ranks higher on this list based on the lofty expectations it faces.

15. Laguna Beach, California

For many travelers, Laguna Beach is a must-see stopover while driving along the California coast between Los Angeles and San Diego. A stunning beach is complimented nicely by a vibrant arts scene and plenty of surf, sand and fun. While soaking up the sun can be perfectly enjoyable here, you will probably want to get back on the road once nightfall hits. Laguna Beach is sorely lacking in nightlife, offering little in the form of late hour entertainment and even less in quality restaurants. Seriously, there are three tourist trap spots near the beach, none of which you want to be dining at.
