PICS REVEALED: the world's worst cities to go to on holiday
Thinking of heading out on holiday soon and worried about hitting a 'dud' in terms of the fun factor? Fear not - we have a guide for you!
For the savvy travellers set to take their hard-earned leave soon (thereby avoiding the 'December rush'), want to know which cities to avoid when you take a holiday?
Let the Daily Mail's 'Worst Cities in the World to go on holiday' list guide you.
1. Guayaquil, Ecuador
While the city claims to be one of the country's 'economic powerhouses', this makes loads of concrete and pollution a common feature as a result.
2. Brisbane, Australia
This Australian city developed very quickly - with poor city planning to boot - resulting in a city of unattractive skyscrapers and expressways.
3. Huaxi Village, China
This densely populated socialist-capitalist town has all 300 families living in identical houses.
4. Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, Britain
Voted the ugliest town in Britain by Crap Towns Returns. Enough said.
5. Calcutta, India
Though there is a business centre in Calcutta, the city has many slums. Efforts to clean them up have been thwarted by residents who do not want to leave.
