Have you ever wondered which tourist attractions you can afford to miss out on? Well, a fascinating map devised by SavingSpot has listed out the most overpriced hotspots across the globe according to visitors. It analyzed TripAdvisor reviews of iconic landmarks across 134 countries and all US states to reveal which ones were deemed to be overpriced - whether because of the entrance fee, cost of parking or food and drink onsite. The data recorded the number of mentions of the word 'expensive' in feedback and topping the list with a staggering number of complaints was Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter in England. But it was not alone with Canada 's CN Tower, America's Empire State Building and Iceland's Blue Lagoon all being named among the 20 worst value hotspots. Take a look below to explore the other big names which were deemed the most overpriced.

This is the terrifying moment a missile struck a Palestinian tower behind a Gaza Strip journalist as she reported live coverage of the conflict between Hamas militants and Israel. Palestinian Islamist group Hamas took Israel by surprise with the biggest attack in decades as gunmen killed scores of people and brought hostages back into the Gaza Strip. Israel said it is now at war with Hamas and launched airstrikes in Gaza in retaliation, vowing to inflict an 'unprecedented price'. One of those air strikes was fired in Gaza while AlJazeera journalist Youmna El Sayed was reporting live on the ugly scenes.

This may be, dare we hope, a revolutionary moment for women's sports, one we'll look back on as the fight that changed everything. On Thursday, elite female swimmers at Virginia's Roanoke College revealed the trauma they'd suffered after a transgender athlete had joined their team without consultation. Shockingly, they said they had been abandoned by their coach, their university and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) - which still has no rules or practices regarding trans athletes in women's sports - and left to deal with the ramifications entirely by themselves. How remarkable these young women are. Such a public stance would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. All you have to do is look at the backlash suffered by anyone who has dared speak up against Lia Thomas . Even parents of female swimmers at the University of Pennsylvania , where Thomas began swimming on the women's team after transitioning, had to write a letter of protest anonymously. That was in December 2021. Flash forward to this week when three captains of the Roanoke team spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com about their ordeal...

Paulina Gretzky has paid an emotional tribute to her husband, LIV Golf star Dustin Johnson, for the example he sets to their two children. Gretzky stars on the front cover of the fall edition of KIND, and opened up on her life with the two-time Major winner away from the glare of the public eye.

Millions of royal fans watched as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said 'I do' during their fairytale wedding at St George's Chapel in 2018. There was much to catch the eye, including the Duchess of Sussex 's minimalist silk Givenchy wedding gown. But there was something else, too, that was worthy of attention: the Rolls-Royce chosen to take the bride to the ceremony. Magnificent in its own right, the maroon-coloured Phantom IV transporting Meghan and her mother Doria Ragland from the Cliveden House Hotel to St George's Chapel had a rather unique history.

It is believed the British monarch, 74, will now only communicate with his youngest son, 39, through palace advisors, reported The Sun. Royal author Duncan Larcombe told the publication: ' It appears that King Charles' approach towards Harry now is business as usual - "if you want to see me you need to make an appointment". 'Harry will have to get past the grey suits and jump through hoops to talk to his father. It's very standoffish but I think that's a way that the King is subtly punishing his son.' The royal expert claimed the King is still upset by the claims the Duke of Sussex made in his memoir Spare - particularly those concerning Queen Camilla, in which she was labelled 'dangerous' and a 'villain'.

In a post on Trump Media's alt-tech Truth Social website, Trump bragged about building 561 miles of border wall between the US and Mexico - which he clarified was 'more than the 400 miles' he promised to build. The former President claimed that he accomplished this 'despite the false promises of the Broken Old Crow, Mitch McConnell, and RINO Paul RINO. Crazy Nancy & Cryin' Chuck Schumer' who allegedly fought him all the way. By the time Biden took office in January 2021 only 452 miles of wall had been constructed - and only 40 miles of that wall was brand new, most of it replaced old fencing. This 458 miles is a fraction of the 1,954 mile border between the US and Mexico, POLITICO reported. But Trump's recent post claimed that 'more was coming' of his wall until 'Crooked Joe' came along and 'sold it for pennies on the dollar'.

Mother bear 'Grizzly 399' - named as such as she's the 399th bear registered in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem - and her cubs have a huge fanbase, with thousands of people flocking to catch a glimpse of them, often creating 'bear jams' along roads. MailOnline Travel spoke to Thomas D Mangelsen, the award-winning photographer who has helped to tell the family's incredible story through his photographs. The 77-year-old photographer and conservationist, who lives in the Wyoming town of Moose, has been tracking the family for 17 years, sharing some of his most striking grizzly portraits in new photo book Grizzly 399: The World's Most Famous Mother Bear (published by Rizzoli ).

EXCLUSIVE: The huge state-of-the art dream home was completely destroyed just a day after the completion of a three-year multi million pound refurbishment. Owner Inna Gudavadze is the widow of Badri Patarkatsishvili, a one-time ally of the Russian dictator who became one of his fiercest critics - and who many suspect was assassinated. Devastated Gudavadze, 67, had hoped to move into the stunning country pile imminently - until a huge blaze tore through it two weeks ago. Now all that remains of the super mansion are charred walls and foundations reduced to rubble after the gigantic fire that lit up one of the UK's wealthiest neighbourhoods.

Multiple sightings of a narrow, slithering, 15-foot-long creature lurking under the water of Fresh Pond have been reported weeks before Halloween Rumors were sparked in late September when fliers showed up on the Fresh Pond Reservations' fences, asking if anyone noticed a strange creature popping out of the water at Fresh Pond. David Braccio claimed he spotted a 15-foot-long animal appeared 30 yards offshore while walking the pond loop with his nine-year-old daughter in early September. 'It was just like this thing in the water, he was like a hump,' Braccio told NBC10 .

The couple, from Michigan, claim to help members find a soulmate with whom they share an instant feeling of deep and natural affinity - but it can come at a hefty cost.

Jeff and Shaleia have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and have instead stated that they find 'immense joy in helping others heal and grow spiritually.'

Kanye, 46, and Bianca, believed to be 28, have been on a lengthy European jaunt since tying the knot in December - but home is officially Kanye's $14 million Wyoming ranch, which has been left deserted for months, according to their official marriage certificate. The happy couple were granted a 'confidential marriage' license in California on December 20, meaning that it was not made public record, after being wed by officiant James Mayfield at his Whispering Oaks Chapel in Palo Alto.

It was a letter written by a man who clearly felt trapped. Weighed down by responsibility, the author was desperate to escape it all with the woman he loved. And, as he fantasised about resigning his position as heir to the throne and starting a new life, Edward, then Prince of Wales, told his married lover he could be 'free to live or die according to how hard I worked, though I should have you all to myself sweetheart and should only then be really happy and contented'. For anyone familiar with the abdication crisis of 1936, such sentiments might seem unsurprising. After all, Edward VIII had gone so far as to relinquish the throne to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Yet this particular letter was written 17 years earlier - and the lover he addressed was not Wallis but another woman entirely.

Rory McIlroy's furious row with Joe LaCava at the Ryder Cup began with the caddie telling him to 'relax,' Fred Couples has revealed. Couple, the USA vice captain, was speaking on his SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show when he relayed what McIlroy and LaCava had said to each other on the 18th green in Rome. 'I asked [LaCava] what was said. He said Rory looked at him and said, 'Mooove'. And he made the 'ooo' last a little longer. And Joe replied, 'Relax, Rory,' Couples said.

Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos had a moment to forget in Saturday's game against Army, when he got floored by referee Mark Wilson. Eagles star Castellanos broke into space and went to rush up the field but as he checked over his shoulder while breaking into the clear, he inadvertently ran straight into Wilson. The official had been scrambling to try and get out of the way of the quarterback and even appeared to slightly drop his shoulder and brace for impact when he saw he wasn't going to get out of the way in time.

The orbiter is due to piggy-back into space on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket which is scheduled to lift off from Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 10:16 ET (15:16 BST) on October 12. It may not involve saving the planet Earth like Bruce Willis did in the 1998 sci-fi blockbuster Armageddon, but it will be able to tell if a metal-rich space rock has the potential to bring down the world's economy. That's because the orbiter is due to explore a 4.5 billion-year-old asteroid called 16 Psyche, which scientists think may be packed full of iron, nickel and gold with a value in excess of $10,000 quadrillion (£8,072 quadrillion). MailOnline has put together a step-by-step guide to everything you need to know ahead of the six-year mission.

And the SKIMS founder, 42, isn't the only one rumoured to have fallen out with the Vogue editor-in-chief.
