Tennessee is full of beautiful scenery, fun attractions, exciting destinations and unique offerings that sets its apart from other states. However, some popular tourist spots may not be as great as you thought.
According to a list compiled by Far & Wide, the "most boring tourist trap" in all of Tennessee is the Parthenon in Nashville, the reason why Music City is also sometimes called the "Athens of the South." Of course, every person's experience will be different and while one visitor may be less than thrilled with the destination, another may find their new favorite attraction, so it is perhaps best to visit for yourself and come up with your own conclusion!
Here's what Far & Wide had to say about the attraction:
"It's hard to imagine a worse travel experience than visiting a full-scale replica of an actually amazing ancient site, but that's exactly what thousands of people do every year in Nashville. There's even a 42-foot Athena statue at this knock-off poser. Both were built for the 1897 Centennial Exposition."
