The green dots are all fascinating places that I've visited or want to visit in France
Note that none of them are in P🤮ris

Not a European, but I'm going with dark alleys.
Well, yeah, in some places, but there's countries where that's a far worse idea than in Europe.

CDG airport. I hate that place so much.
Heathrow, Schiphol and Frankfurt are all so much easier to navigate.
On a serious note though: I’ve never bern anywhere in Europe that I straight up disliked. Sanremo was probably the «least friendly» with locals all pushing us towards the casino at every oportunity. The city was also surprisingly worn down.
The local market was awesome though.

Dublin is a kip, you have far better options throughout Ireland, if you want a city go to Cork or Belfast. Galway is a bit boring to me but could be your scene. After that there are loads of little spots with loads going for them. The entire west coast is great.
Dont rent a big car, I mean big by irish sandards.
Almost every reason given sounds like a description of my home of Florida.
Zakopane, Poland. Greedy bastards.
Don't go to Amsterdam.
Well, it's more like we don't want them to come here.
As an American (but an immigrant), who wants to go to Amsterdam, what can I do to be mindful and not annoying?

True, but also if you go to Amsterdam as a tourist, you'll end up in the tourist trap places. Shady coffee shops, tours of the red light district, and over priced bars where you have to pay for toilet usage. And you can be rushed through the Anne Frank house for a price.
Fair enough!
It's still possible, in my opinion, to visit as a "tourist" (I live in Haarlem now, so technically I'm a tourist when I go) and avoid all the trashy stuff. You can seek out the cool little neighborhoods like the Jordaan or de Pijp.
this is an extremely tourist friendly city. but it's also filled with drunk pieces of shit at night. they will try to fight you for a cigarette.
