15 cities you thought were romantic but really aren’t

7. Buenos Aires, Argentina

It costs a pretty penny if you’re looking to venture into Argentina’s capital, from expensive airfare to pricey lodgings to over-priced restaurant options. Sometimes you need to pay for value, and so this wouldn’t be a problem if Buenos Aires otherwise made for a five-star travel destination. Unfortunately, once you spend that money, there just isn’t a ton to get excited about. The landscape possesses a flat, bland Nebraska-like quality and the colorful, vibrant areas are almost exclusively poor in nature, making the attempt to venture through bright Buenos Aires neighborhoods an exercise in avoiding hagglers and street vendors.
