Too bad most of the attractions lose a lot of their charm or become overpriced tourist traps that cater to tourists and lose their identity. Like the stereotypical "Italian" food you end up seeing if you go with tour guides in Rome instead of actual food that most people eat there. Too much is catered to Western tastes(or wherever most of the tourists come from)

I used to be snobbish and avoided going to see things on the "tourist trail". But then I realized that most places are on the tourist trail because they are really worth seeing!
