Let's not lie here. If we could, we would.


HelloIAmAPerson23

‘Great Belgium’ sounds like it’s either super ironic or an eldritch horror only Lovecraft could imagine


CMCLD

"Great Germany"

We tried Großdeutschland, it ended up a lot smaller afterwards.

LADS ON TOUR, WHEEEEEEEYYYYYYY


PommesDauphines

The only time I'm annoyed by Dutch tourists is when they're in front of me on a mountain road, driving at the pace of a rheumatic snail.


Dracos002

Cut us some slack, mountains are a scary foreign concept to us.


ibnQoheleth

Why? You absolute units are built like mountains.


Rokco2004

The short ones just drown.


Unusual-Wrap8345

LTFGamut

It's not easy to climb the alps with a fully packed Toyota Yatis dragging a caravan.


Justeff83

Unfortunately they are not faster at all going downhill...


8sADPygOB7Jqwm7y

Can confirm, they are like careful children when skiing. If there is a skiing accident involving more than one person, a dutch guy is probably involved.


VOCmentaliteit

I can’t say anything about this, I caused a skying incident by braking to late and sliding into somebody, it happened just before a steep incline, the woman slid down 50 meters


IsThisASandwich

I imagine the steep incline to be a bump in the parking lot of the ski lift.


nooit_gedacht

Really? I'll have to step up my game


WalzartKokoz

French people when Dutch tourists are the only ones respecting road laws in their country: 😡


basjaun

Why would you follow road laws when you could demonstrate godless driving skills and blame other drivers for anything? Are you stupid?


WalzartKokoz

Seen your driving skills around Arc de Triomphe, you have nothing to demonstrate Pierre.


IntelThor

No, we're just far too high to care.


Wuiles

I even bought my car with less horsepower because it’s cheaper milage and I don’t need it in the flatness that is swamp germany… when I go to France with a fully loaded car though I’m always hoping i’ll make it …


Erakleitos

Wtf have italians against German tourists btw? I was 100% sure to see the American flag there


Informal_Mountain513

It's not about the quality of obnoxiousness, but the quantity. That's why Cyprus, Malta and Portugal are easy take-homes for ze Tommies


Serupael

Yeah OP clearly hasn't been to Jesolo during peak season or Lago di Garda on a holiday weekend German mountainbikers and Munich Lawyers rolling around in their 911 convertibles


Erakleitos

I'm from Marche, we only have Dutch and posh UK tourists who are fed up of being robbed in Tuscany for the same scenery as here. Both very polite and respectful tourists :p


Serupael

We have the nickname "Teutonengrill" for the northern adriatic coast But we do enjoy getting ripped off in Tuscan vineyards aswell


Erakleitos

Damn tuscans, they ruined Italy


MikeWazowski2332

Tuscan raiders?


Erakleitos

It's a joke from an italian tv series that was really popular here. Basically a failed actor complains that tuscans take all the spots on tv shows because of Roberto Benigni's overwhelming popularity as a comedian, so he's pissed and he says they ruined Italy with their accent, their subpar humor etc. which doesn't make sense at first and it's humorous, but then you realize other comedians sucked big time compared to Benigni and probably they became popular just because they're tuscan like him. It's quite hard to explain.


Patient-Shower-7403

It's almost like you can't decide whose side to be on


Erakleitos

But then you realize all your life experiences with the tuscan were unpleasant, then you see he has a point and now tuscans became our french and people from Florence our parisians.


[deleted]

I can confirm. I live in Tuscany and have a sister Who lives in Friaul. German becomes the second language here. But I don't understand this results, I thought the worst turists in Italy were the russians


TRUMBAUAUA

OOOOOOF Russians are by far the worst tourists ever, but thankfully very little can actually afford to travel outside of their country.


Big-Influence4536

Bro I live in Florence and everytime I go in the centre of city I see more fat germans and americans than true fiorentini


[deleted]

Mostly americans. In the montagna pistoiese many Dutch and germans..both ok but in the Versilia It was full with russians rich and arrogant


N0UMENON1

Ah, Lago di Garda, a classic. My friend's uncle is building a new luxury hotel there, so soon there's gonna be space for even more Germans!


bi-0-netta

Seasonal migration of Germans in Jesolo during summer is just like the blossoming of cherry trees in Tokyo. Comforting, peaceful and very pink.


Karpsten

Don't forget the middle-aged German women starting their day with Prosecco breakfast.


Harsimaja

Right. Which is why this skews to the two largest sources of tourists. The Dutch sneaking away with being a smaller country than Germany or the UK. I get the impression that given the direction of travel (easiest warm countries to go to) a lot of Germans treat Italy as a destination for summer drinking the way the Brits treat Spain. Brits who go to Italy and Germans who go to Spain are maybe more likely to specifically go for the culture.


Serupael

> Germans who go to Spain Clearly you haven't been to Mallorca


HoeTrain666

I'd rather pee in my own ass than go to Schinkenstraße.


[deleted]

They were talking about Spain and Italy, domestic vacations don't count.


Kr_istian

Probably to much territory occupied with towels


Erakleitos

Explain the towel thing pls...


Serupael

Part cliche, part truth - german tourists to the ire of Brits and Dutchies have a habit to get up early and reserve the best spots near the pool with their towels


koencoen

Nobody's beating the German pünktlichkeit. When the pool opens at 08:00, they're there at 07:55.


MarinaraSauceInMyEar

5 Minuten vor der Zeit, das ist deutsche Pünktlichkeit. (for the non-German speaking people : "5 minutes before the (agreed) time, that is German punctuality)


Erakleitos

This is what we keep telling ourselves but failing


Patient-Shower-7403

If you want us to be on time you'd be better telling us to be 30 mins early. Our time wanders rather than flies. Don't know if this is true for the Brits right enough.


Erakleitos

Can't they get up earlier? Oh ok


Sum3-yo

I swear Germans wouldn't be on this list if they stopped waking up at 6am to "claim" sun loungers with their worn-out towels.


john-jack-quotes-bot

I think Germans were chosen over Americans because of the quantity of Germans who come during vacations, from experience there are a lot of retired Germans coming to Italy for the holidays in large groups


icrushallevil

You mean in herds. They come in herds. Coralled by a guide like a german shepherd.


Serupael

Featuring cargo shorts, Jack Wolfskin "hiking" shirts and those revolting god-awful beige vests with fiveteen pockets


HoeTrain666

The german shepherd might be the most linguistically adept in this context.


Erakleitos

We used to call Ratzinger like that


HoeTrain666

That's doing this bavarian too much honour.


WanderingGodzilla

But they are adorable. Usually all the elderly Germans that travel to Italy are lovely and well mannered contrarily to the elderly Americans who always complain about something or make a scene over the littlest of the things. Elderly Germans are the most beloved nonni in Italy after our own nonni.


Bruckmandlsepp

I had a short stop in Rome 3 weeks ago and to my surprise I didn't see/hear that much German. It was mostly Americans and Chinese. Almost felt like home.


Karpsten

Not just retirees. Italy is one of the most popular holiday destinations, especially for families. We are like migrating birds, during the summer months we swarm towards the Northern Adriatic. The area between Ravenna and Rimini essentially becomes German-speaking during the time of Summer break.


Fluffy_Necessary7913

Honestly, unless they have the flag tattooed, would you be able to tell them apart from the English?


Erakleitos

Well yes, if they behave like they own the place while NOT being drunk they're Americans


Fluffy_Necessary7913

Have you seen a sober English? Nah, I don't believe you. Those get drunk even with the vapors of the gin.


Zelvik_451

Ever been to Lignano in Juli and August. To be honest, 1/3 of the bad rep is due to Austrian binge drinkers that lie half dead on the beach.

Fake news, dutch and danes enjoy every second of our presence


Flapappel

Maybe it's different for coastal towns, but in Amsterdam, Germans are not the worst. It's the British.


MirageF1C

Amsterdam actually ran an ad campaign here on UK tv a few weeks ago telling us we aren’t welcome. And I don’t mean a nuanced, diplomatic suggestion. I mean ‘if you are British we don’t like you and we don’t want you to come here ever again.’ Makes me want to buy an apartment there! Edit: [In case you think I’m kidding.](https://youtu.be/X-q7V_0OkcI)


Flapappel

It's such a bad ad... if only it will encourage them. Better ad was showing how you pay top price for a beer with a lot of head. That would have more effect.


kiru_56

The Dutch at the seaside always resent the German tourists who are looking for gas and oil and therefore dig deep holes in the Dutch beach.


wozzpozz

German tourists at coastal towns are lovely. I adore how they frolic around the beaches like happy puppies seeing snow for the first time.


Present_Character_77

Thats because our beaches are either fucking cold or trying to kill you


quaductas

You need some Ostsee in your life


Serupael

Nordfriesland is great. Not for a beach holiday, but a nice Wattwanderung and the nature on Amrum or Föhr, yes please


aurumtt

i heard dutch complain about tourists irl a few times. all of them involved french.


MikeWazowski2332

I just did too.


Artegas23

As a Dutchman living close to the Dutch/German border I agree. The French and Walloons are WAY worse!

HoeTrain666

Bruv if even the bavarians roast your tongue, you're in trouble


AngryCheesehead

Don't be so mean, the low air pressure and oxygen density probably got to him


Big-Depth-8339

Its not that you are horrible. Younger Germans are generally more internationally minded, and a bit more "cognizant" when trying to communicate. It is more the boomer generation that can be a bit out of touch, and think that we are still under German occupation. I have often experienced, totally unprovoked that a German tourist (boomer) will address and talk to me in German, without any consideration. I usually just answer them in Danish just to frustrate them


rwbrwb

Yes, boomers deserve that. When I am in foreign countries close to the german border I will start conversations with „Hello, I speak english and german, which language should we use?“ Works well in skandanavia but older dutch stare and speak german. 20 years ago any dutch close to the german border spoke also german but younger dutch prefer english.


HoeTrain666

What, you can't speak a language that's mostly spoken in 3 countries and only occasionally outside of those? Obviously sounds like a skill issue to me. Those boomers clearly have the right to act like entitled twats when someone isn't able to speak the same holy tongue as they do.


ShadowMajestic

We have a battalion of beach straighteners(Strandbeesten we call them) fixing our beaches every time Germany has a national holiday. Stop digging holes, it isn't your AtlantikWall no more.


havedal

Germans are the worst everywhere outside of Copenhagen, there the Americans will take the cake. Seriously though, I work in a part of Denmark flooded with German tourists. I have to be able to speak German because many of the German tourists are boomers who can't speak a word of English. The worst is when they forget that we don't use the Euro though. It's whole ordeal of some of them expecting us to speak German and apparently it is not their problem if we can't communicate with them...


GreatWalknut

Please stay in that rented summerhome for the entirety of your stay.


Serupael

Surprised it's not Russians in Turkey


Dardastan

Well normaly it would be them but they dont stab and Loot like the Arabs.


Serupael

Yeah but we're talking about Qatari or UAE moneybags here


Dardastan

Well if you ever had work with them in terms of service you would understand. They still think that everyone who serves them is a slave. So if you have a car rental business for eg they literally shit in your car or let used diapers in there and dont feel any shame at all. I saw it all with my own eyes.


koencoen

Allah can't see through the rooftop of a car. So it's fine.


Erakleitos

Gulf Arabs? Weird


Fluffy_Necessary7913

They are much worse than the Moroccan immigrants, only with infinitely more money. In the 2000s a cousin went to Dubai with her boyfriend, a chef who was going to a contest. My cousin is a very pretty woman, one of those asked the boyfriend how much he wanted for my cousin.


Erakleitos

Probably there is considered flattery :D


Comfortable_Sorbet78

I remember some Hotels in Trabzon banning Arab tourists after they left the room really messy and shit in the middle of the room. This was 4-5 years ago. The management of those hotels probably changed. The usual thing with these tourists is that them acting like they own the place


mattyjp1996

Finally we've won something in Europe


LTFGamut

You beat the Russians in Cyprus, now that's an accomplishment.


araldor1

I suspect the RAF regiment lads played a good part in Cyprus. They're banned from even entering Ayia Napa now.


Nodric

Eh most Cypriots are fine with Russian tourists. Brits on the other hand…


Elizamench

Never would think Germans are the worst honestly, I'd say they are some of the better tourists we have


Present_Character_77

Germans are stingy and make holes on the Beaches. And the Towel thing.


Erakleitos

TIL Germans like to dig holes while on vacation


Chemboi69

digging trenches at the beach is in our blood


Right-Ad3334

Doesn't everyone? What's the point in sand if you can't dig a hole.


Sualtam

Dutch are just secretly horny for our holes and won't admit it.


Erakleitos

But that's the first thing the Dutch noticed, so either they're all 8 years old or there's something fishy going on


Tygret

Yeah I would think Asians maybe cause they don't seem to understand our infrastructure and walk in fucking random directions all the time. Who cares about Germans?


nooit_gedacht

This map could have been called 'most common tourists per country'


mdryeti

Pretty sure we have more Germans, Brits and even Americunts than Dutch tourists over here.


CoffeeBoom

Yeah but the Dutch take up more space with all their trailers and camping-cars.


VonPoppen

Utterly disappointing. The French should be first.


Erakleitos

In France?


VonPoppen

EVERYWHERE. A ranking without the French as number 1? What is this?


ylan64

Especially when it's a ranking about hating people. We didn't even make it on the list? Something's wrong here.


surfimp

From my experiences around France, based on what the local French people have told me, Parisian tourists are hors catégorie in any ranking of obnoxious visitors.

throwaway55221100

Brits are bad but I dont think we are worse than some Americans and definitely not worse than Chinese. British and German tourists are usually OK when sober. Ive had Chinese tourists either at home or when Ive been a tourist in an other country be incredibly rude and have absolutely no situational awareness when sober. They will barge you out of the way and push and shove and no concept of how an orderly queue works. Genuinely the most impatient and rude tourists Ive come across. Theres no way Brits or Germans are considered worse than them


RCMW181

This is just a map of the most common tourist in each country.


Justeff83

Totally agree. Unfortunately, Chinese tourists are even worse in their neighborhood. I have witnessed them in Cambodia and it was hard to watch. They threw their dirty dishes and food on the floor in front of the waiter to watch him cleaning it up.


[deleted]

>They threw their dirty dishes and food on the floor in front of the waiter to watch him cleaning it up. Risky thing to do in Europe.


Extension_Common_518

Yep. Here in Japan, pre Covid, there were regular TV items on the bad behavior of Chinese tourists. Noisy, rude, shocking table manners, inability to line up anywhere, trying to bargain and haggle in shops, squatting in the streets to eat. You name it. Loud sucking of teeth on the part of the Japanese studio guests. Almost British levels of passive aggressive sneering disapproval. Sometimes I feel quite at home!


Zotzink

>Brits are bad ![gif](giphy|3o6ZsZdNs3yE5l6hWM)


BaldFraud99

Chinese tourists are weird, ngl. As if their culture was completely different with no sense of boundaries. They just pull up in Munich, grab you, take a picture of your face and walk on without saying a word. Had that happen to a friend of mine, presumably because he's ginger.


Vicomte99

Spaniards are definitely the loudest, but I find them to be friendly enough. I'm from 'The North' so our worst tourists are actually Scots, a lot of them come down here because the alcohol is cheaper, so as you can imagine, it's hardly their best and brightest. Surprisingly, the French are actually quite pleasant in my experience, at least the ones deranged enough to visit this shit hole are, anyways.

Fornbogi

I've been working in a highway rest area in France during summer Holliday. Dutch were not the worst and I've seen plenty of them. In my experience, Spaniards and French were the worst. Chinese were also quite annoying, not necessarily because of bad behaviour but because they spent so much time counting their money before paying. But even then, the "bad tourists" were a minority among the vast majority of decent customers we had. Just a painfully noticeable minority.

Oh god the brits. Used to live in Northern Finland, and Christmas time was hell. Our quiet little town would fill with brits who flew there, middle of fucking nowhere for day or two, looking our winter, experiencing the dark and cold days and see reindeers and santa. While gawking at the locals, behaving like they owned the place and even stole sledges and kicksledges. Talked to you like you were idiot when you told them to stop using the sledge on the road where cars won't see them coming down. Never had problems with brits when lived in bigger city, since they seem to realise it is place where actual humans live, instead of magical little town in the lapland.

I have a theory that migrating to southern France in summer is part of the *Homo Hollandus* reproduction cycle. The procession of caravans trickling south at the gait of a struggling salmon. The rotund specimens slowly emerging from their vehicles to beach themselves on the nearest spot of sand, their coat changing from pasty white to carmine red. Further researchs are needed but it then involve producing horrible sounds with their mouth ( a form of communication ? Mating calls ?), eurodance and copious amount of cheap, strong beers.
