We found the most popular tourist attractions to
visit a round the world. With more holidays approaching, families won't all
celebrate at home, like a Norman Rockwell painting. Hordes are hopping onto
planes, trains and buses to play tourist all over the world, using breaks from
daily obligations to relax on a beach or check out some ancient ruins. Where
to, how to compile a list of the top tourist attractions to visit in cities
around the world.
Note that statistic conveniently keeps track of the
most visited attractions worldwide via Love Home Swap. We drew from the most
recent rankings, which are based on data from April 2014. This isn't a list of
the most visited sites in the world - we chose cities and found their most
visited site, though these were all near the top. Some metropolises, like New
York, have multiple tourist attractions which fared well in this list, but we
went with only the top site for each city as a benchmark to put the cities in
order from least visitors to most.
Sydney Opera House, was established in year 1973,
in Sydney city, Australia. There are 8,200,000 visitors per year. The soaring
white sails protruding from the Sydney Opera House's base make for a familiar
landmark. It’s safe to say that the Sydney Opera House is the focal point of
the harbor and it's an iconic building that’s won acclaim for its architectural
design. But that’s after a fair share of drama over the opera house’s
construction, which ended up taking 16 years and was hotly debated. The big
challenge became how to make those roof sails work. In the end, it took a
specially developed process; one million tiles were ceramically fired at a
factory to achieve a glass-like finish and then bonded to the superstructure
beneath.
The result is that the opera house is one of the
busiest music venues of its kind anywhere, staging up to 2,500 performances
annually. Its other claim to fame is that renowned black film actor Paul
Robeson is said to have climbed onto the scaffolding during construction to
sing to the workers.
