    Went to Europe for my honeymoon and Paris was the first stop since the wife hadn’t been to Europe. She thought it was dirty and underwhelming.

    A nice city to see for sure but for sightseeing and museums. Felt like New York City in a way.

      It is a good comparison. There is a lot to see in both cities and they have good transit systems, but it can be really disorienting if you aren’t used to city life and the grime of cities is harder to hide.

        My wife thought it was wild how aggressive some street vendors are and how they set up tourist trinkets on blankets on the ground. We live very rurally haha
