On the international stage, it only takes some outspoken Americans to give everyone a bad reputation. Broad repercussions can be felt by these negative perceptions, even affecting a country’s foreign policy. Unfortunately, there are quite many nations out there which generally have a dim view of American tourists. We have made a list of 22 countries where Americans may not feel very welcome. However, remember that there is always a possibility that this claim is not true, but it doesn’t hurt to make the extra effort in respecting the foreign policies, laws, and culture unless you want to confirm our bad reputation.
Denmark
The ‘we’re the best’ attitude of America is not appreciated by the Danish who are known for being very polite and simple people exchanging thank-yous and you’re-welcomes on every occasion. In Denmark, the widespread view is that Americans think of themselves as superior to everyone else, making them unpopular.

Russia
The frosty relationship between the US and Russia that started with the Cold War hasn’t really thawed. More recently, the opposition of America to the military intervention of Russia in Ukraine has made the U.S. even more unpopular among Russians. In fact, 71% of them view America unfavorably. The hit American TV show Chernobyl has not helped improve relations either! The trials of the past truly linger.
