Too small, and also not really a place to stay. They have about 300 beds. That's more included in "Dresden environment".

There is just a lot of competition, for the American doing a 10 way vacation to Europe, it will never be on the schedule, unless he has special interest. But it's not like the "wonderful massiv central" in France or the carpatian mountains in Romania is rated higher, if we compare in international measure. Inside Germany, the South dominates the North, except the coastline, nobody can compete with Bavaria. It's more South vs. North, than East vs. West. Hannover is not really a hotspot.

But where is your knowledge coming from ? People not visiting, do not often make videos on why they not choose to visit. And Prague is more on the limit of overtourism.

East Germany is full of tourists. It's just most often not for your 2 weeks summer vacation, it's more for the 3 day weekend trip. On the baltic sea coast, there is rather no difference to the north sea coast. Hotel beds, have only a light correlation to tourism. If one has more businesses, if course you have more business travellors. Bremen has by far more business travellors than tourists, in reverse to Dresden, but statistics often don't reflect this. Something like AirBnB you skipped completly anyway, cause there are no numbers.

Creating more jobs and tourists is not wanted today any more. You can create a job, but you don't find people taking the job, business rather close down, due to leak of staff, not leak of customers. The world has changed in the last year.It's not always giving up business, but things like restaurants opening only 5 days per week, cause they can fill only one shift of staff.

If you are an exotic individual, people will watch you little longer. This might be the case if you come in a wheelchair, have only one arm, or dark skin, it's not seen 1000 times a day. But that's the case worldwide, and since ever and up to eternity. It's curiosity, not criminality. People will check you out, on your clothing or your haircut, to guess your income in a restaurant, maybe und differ the service (work the tip). But that's done worldwide.

@aoilpe You can find something everywhere of course, The question is always .. if you pick from 100 cities in Europe ...maybe it wouldn't even be on the list of 100.

If you say, all people are the same, you are always wrong.

@GGysar I should go there too see miserable run down places ? Or just because prague is packed ?

@GGysar topic was " misconception of east european countries ". You don't mention if you agree or disagree. What have you found in the country side ? When I Would put myself in a car and go your named places, its not ensured I get the same impression as you had.

@GGysar Well, so I was supporting your idea, saying tourists don't think that's a third world country and avoid east Europe. Prague probably has more tourists than Nairobi. Why you keep continuing the idea of "missconceptions" ? Who has this and how have you found out about it ? What you want to happen , to have a proof this missconception doesn't exist ? I act like the cold war hasn't ended ? Are you nuts ? How did I gave you this impression ? It's just a bit this image of an undiscovered country, people don't know many neighbors who have been there. This needs more time. But on the other hand, more tourism is not urgently wanted or needed, it's too much already now in some places. So better don't advertise, if you don't want a second Barcelona. And whatever you do, Americans will hardly go and visit Liberec, as well as they don't visit Görlitz. Maybe if you tell them about Grand Budapest Hotel shoot in Görlitz, and Spiderman was shoot in Liberec, they would go. This creates some relation to the spots.

@DaDunge Maybe you don't know many cities. The railway station is a nightmare made of concrete, only the lake in the citiy is a highlight. It's like a small town, just bigger ;-)
