We found the most popular tourist attractions to
visit a round the world. 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 and with more holidays approaching,
families won't all celebrate at home where to, how to compile a list of the top tourist attractions to visit
in cities around the world. Note that the following 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.
The Pike Place Market, was established in year
1907, Seattle, United States. There are 10, 000,000 visitors per year. Seattle's
Pike Place Market began with eight farmer’s total. Tired of dealing with
price-gouging middlemen, the small crew of farmers decided to sell their goods
directly to consumers and the market was born. Fishmongers were not playfully
throwing salmon around at that point, but the market kept growing and expanding
until 1922 when it started to take its present-day shape: 11 buildings along
the Washington city’s waterfront housing 500 shops, vendor stalls and
restaurants.
The flagship Starbucks opened as part of the market
back in 1971. More recently, Rachel the Pig, a 550-pound bronze piggy bank, has
become a go-to photo opp. And last month the hot story was that Pike Place’s
famed gum wall, which is exactly like how it sounds, was finally—after 20
years—deep cleaned, removing about 1 million wads of gum.
