Beautiful architecture, but overrun by tourists and sky-high prices, so many visitors get a less authentic experience than expected.

Times Square (New York)
Brightly lit and busy, but experienced by many visitors as chaotic and not very authentically New York.

Cancún
The beaches are beautiful, but the tourist zone feels to some visitors more like a resort bubble than a real Mexican experience.
