10 Extremely Overrated Travel Destinations in the US (and Where You Should Go Instead)

4. Portland, OR

Portland’s cooler weather may be perfect for many people, but because Oregon is known for its “ghost towns,” one may find this place a little on the dry side. Though Portland’s nightlife may be exciting for some, and nature is never far away from any road, this city does have its cons.

I’ve heard this thing: Portland’s pizza and doughnuts are beyond amazing. Well, several friends of mine visited the city and tried these alleged tasty foods. Their conclusion? These foods are only simply average.

Here’s a BETTER alternative to this overrated travel destination: Ashland, OR. The foresty Ashland of Oregon boasts an outdoor theater, hiking trips, and buzzing street life.
