You know the feeling when you anticipate something so much that you tend to idolize the picture and when it actually happens, it turns that your expectations surpassed the real thing by miles? Yes, it's called a disappointment, and it happens way more often than it should when traveling to the most famous vacation destinations and places to visit. These days most people don't wear rose-colored glasses, they opt for an Instagram filter instead. Which is why traveling has become so disheartening—where are those idyllic beaches that you saw online? It was better when we could only read about those exotic places to travel and imagine them; now, ruined by Instagram, your travel ideas will never match up to reality.
So come, join us—pull back the veil and see the Truth of travel impressions for yourself. Bored Panda has collected this list of travel expectation VS reality. Which false advertising photo has the best let-down photo? You can also check out these famous places to go zoomed out to show their surroundings.

Come to Lithuania - there's a lot to see and like 14 people live here.

These are funny, but not entirely accurate. Of course it will be more crowded during events. And does any tourist honestly expect to be the *only* one visiting a famous landmark?! I can also say from experience that it's possible to get that "perfect" shot, but you can't expect to do it at Noon. I have some great "quiet" photos, but I had to get up at 5am to get them!
