The most OVERRATED City in the world is....

SYDNEY, without a doubt. The harbor is nice, that is the SETTING is nice, but outside of that, it's a BIG ZERO. I went through three guidebooks, trying to find something, ANYTHING that would make me want to stay longer than 24 hours, and there is nothing. And some were saying the people were rude... which I'm not buying that they are any more rude, any less rude than anywhere else... but as far as tourist sights, I just can't find anything worth spending $150 a night in a hotel to see.

From what I can tell, the runner up for most overrated city could be Melbourne, or any city in the U.S. not located on the east or west coast... other possibilities might include Dublin, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, Frankfurt... and perhaps Glasgow.
