A dream vacation can look very different once you actually arrive, and some travelers say a few of the world’s most famous tourist cities left them feeling anything but welcome.

A viral discussion asking travelers which cities made them feel uncomfortable has sparked a flood of brutally honest responses from travelers worldwide.

But the answers were far from unanimous.

While some visitors described cold encounters, tourist resentment , and an unmistakable feeling that locals would rather see them leave, others said they experienced nothing but kindness in the same places.

A viral thread on Reddit’s r/AskReddit subreddit asked users, “What city did you feel unwelcome in as a tourist?”

As one of Reddit’s largest communities, r/AskReddit has millions of members, and the question drew a flood of responses from people sharing their experiences as tourists worldwide.

Barcelona was one of the destinations that repeatedly came up in the discussion, with some travelers describing an atmosphere that made them feel openly unwanted.

“Barcelona, they really don’t want tourists. The ‘tourists go home’ signs are really disheartening,” one person wrote.
