Have you visited the most "boring" tourist trap in all of Massachusetts?
Because "boring" can mean something different to every traveler, this destination is admired by some and detested by others.
Tourists often choose destinations based on elements they think will fascinate them, only to arrive and find a place very different from what they initially anticipated.
Be it distinctive history or sheer popularity, something about this well-known Massachusetts location drew people in, and they walked away with an experience far from what they imagined. Some are disappointed with their experience, and others are interested and cannot wait to tell their friends and family.
According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the most overrated tourist destination in Massachusetts is Salem.
Here's what Cheapism had to say about the most "boring" tourist destination in the entire state:
"Wizard schools, ghost tours, and oddball Frankenstein and Dracula "museums" have taken over Salem, once a truly intriguing town. It dates to 1626 and is notorious for holding witch trials that led to the hanging of 19 innocent people. Tourist trap economics have come to trump historical charm, say travel bloggers David and Veronica James, although the Salem Witch Museum is an exception."
