4th place

Last year's winner of the Plaza de España rating in Seville, Spain was on the 4th place. This architectural wonder impresses with its grandeur and beauty. The square is a semicircular ensemble with a diameter of 250 meters. Central government offices are located here, millions of visitors come to see the wonder every year.

5th place

The majestic Angkor Wat Buddhist temple is the largest religious monument in the world, its area is 402 hectares. It is located in Cambodia and is a symbol of the country, even depicted on the national flag. The history of the temple is also interesting, it was built from five million tons of sandstone, which was delivered by hand.

Also in the Top 10 are St. Peter's Basilica, Italy; El Ateneo Grand Splendid bookstore in Argentina; Athenian Acropolis in Greece; The New Zealand Museum in Wellington and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The worst tourist attractions in the world

The Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles was the least visited by tourists, but it is not the first time that it occupies the last step. In 2019, the alley was already in last place in the Stasher rating. Tourists' reviews of the attraction are rather disappointing, and the USA also showed a poor safety index for foreigners.

The oldest shopping center in the world Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey also did not impress travelers much. Turkey has low ratings for the level of security, and the Grand Bazaar is located far from the airport - 45.7 km.

The most distant attraction from the resort was the Taj Mahal in India, a tourist will have to travel 219 km to enjoy the beauty of this object.

Also in the Top 10 worst tourist places in the world was the Busch Gardens amusement park in the USA, the attraction received the lowest score for the level of comfort in the nearest accommodation facilities. South Korea's Lotte World amusement park and Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor and Ocean Park scored low in all areas. Most of these attractions are quite unpopular on the TikTok network.
