Top Tourist Attractions
Do you want to know the top tourist attractions in a country?
Do you still need some help deciding what your next destination will be?

I’ve narrowed the answer, so you don’t have to read a looooong post to know which those places are.
Again, I’m trying to save you precious time!
Maybe you are thinking about going to a country you’ve heard excellent things about, but you are not sure what it has that may interest you. Or wonder what are the most famous attractions in a country.
The purpose of this post is to simplify all that information with a short list of the top tourist attractions of the most visited countries. I’ve included 106 countries on this list to give you more options.

This doesn’t mean these are the ‘only’ things to see/visit. Each country has many other exciting places, but the list would be too long.
Moreover, I’m always considering that you are like me, hence limited time to visit a country. So, if I give you a list of the 50 most famous attractions, you won’t know which ones to pick.
Therefore, I’ve selected only between 5 and 12 ‘unmissable’ sites per country.
In the table below, you can search for one specific country or the name of a place to know where it’s located; you can also sort the columns differently. Just play with it as you like!

If you were in the process of picking a destination when you got to this post but still couldn’t decide, you could return to that point in Where to Go.
Or, if you’ve already decided where your next adventure will be, you are ready to move to the next phase of organising your trip with Step by Step.
But if you want to know the best time to go to that place, you can check my post, Best Time to Go.
I hope this post has been helpful to you.
