A couple of weeks ago, we published a list of your least favourite destinations.
Reaction was swift and fierce. There was some agreement and a whole lot of disagreement. A number of you took issue with the criterion for selection (highly visited site destinations that you were unlikely to save as a favourite). And several of you suggested more worthy cities for inclusion.
So we are proud to present to you a revised list of cities that you actually hate, based on your feedback. What do you think did we get it right this time?
Your 9 most hated cities:
Detroit, USA Crime, pollution and crumbling infrastructure dont appeal to you.
Accra, Ghana Ugly, chaotic, sprawling and completely indifferent to its waterfront location.
Seoul, South Korea According to one comment, Its an appallingly repetitive sprawl of freeways and Soviet-style concrete apartment buildings, horribly polluted, with no heart or spirit to it. So oppressively bland that the populace is driven to alcoholism.
Los Angeles, USA A highly contentious pick, placed here because of its uncontrolled sprawl, pollution, appalling traffic and ugly freeways.
Wolverhampton, England So bad that we dont even have it on this site! Check out post 35 on this thread.
San Salvador, El Salvador Widely acknowledged as the grubbiest of the Central American capitals.
Chennai, India We describe it as lacking Mumbais prosperity, Delhis history or Bengalurus buzz. Even the movie stars are not that hot. You think were being generous.
Arusha, Tanzania A gateway to natural wonder that has more than its share of rust. Get out as quickly as you can.
Chetumal, Mexico Combining the worst of mass tourism and outlying decay, Chetumal just doesnt charm you.
Does that sum it up for you, or are there still more deserving candidates?
