15 cities you thought were romantic but really aren’t

10. Acapulco, Mexico

Ever since John F. Kennedy made Acapulco the “it” destination for rich and famous couples with his much-publicized honeymoon in 1953, couples have flocked there for a romantic getaway. Of course, that was over 60 years ago. Now, more than half a century of neglect has made for an exotic vacation spot whose best days are firmly in the rear view mirror. Violence, crime and corruption has left Acapulco fraught with safety concerns and particularly perilous for adventurous travelers who opt to step outside of the familiar tourist areas.
