"The most disappointing place on Earth, covered in dirt and urine."

"Except for a small square with a tower, where everyone takes the same stupid pictures, and other guys try to sell you toys, the rest of the city is nothing. You are in Tuscany-go to any town, and you will get much more pleasure from it!"

I liked it better."

"It's just a small painting that hangs quite far away in a hall crowded with tourists. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful, iconic painting, but you shouldn't visit the Louvre just for the Mona Lisa. Most of the other works of art in this museum are more impressive than this painting."
