Indian Vlogger’s Viral ‘Reality of Europe’ Critique Questions Value and Safety

The viral clip drew mixed responses, some citing problems in crowded hubs, others cautioning against sweeping generalisations.

Overview

  • Prateek Singh said he spent over Rs 10 lakh on a Europe trip and argued the experience did not justify the cost.
  • His video shows littered streets, heavy crowds and mentions theft and robbery, with an Ajax–Groningen fireworks disturbance cited as an example of mismanagement.
  • He criticised the Schengen visa process for extensive paperwork and expense, asking whether the effort matches the on-ground reality.
  • Online reaction was divided, with some agreeing that tourist centers can feel dirty or unsafe and others noting cleaner, safer conditions away from peak-party areas or capital cores.
  • Singh stressed he still values Europe’s museums, history and landscapes, while saying several East and Southeast Asian destinations offer better value and infrastructure.
