TripAdvisor travelers are a knowledgeable lot, so knowledgeable the online travel site has compiled a list of the ‘Top Landmarks in the World’ based on customer reviews.
“For travelers thinking about anchoring their trips with a visit to an iconic site, there’s no better starting point than the list of Travelers’ Choice award winners,” TripAdvisor’s Brooke Ferencsik said in a press release. “With awe-inspiring temples, poignant memorials and breathtaking examples of architectural innovation, there’s a wide variety of options to inspire those looking for culturally enriching experiences.”

One of those bucket list moments! 🌞 . It’s quite hard to tell, but I was actually sharing this view with about 500 other people. I was in the second row holding my camera over my head to grab this shot. The experience was far from peaceful, but I’m willing to deal with it for conditions like these! . . . . . . . . . . . . #cambodia #cambodia🇰🇭 #cambodiatravel #cambodiatourism #siemreap #siemreapcambodia #siemreapangkor #angkorwat #angkor #angkortemples #angkorwattemple #temple #beautifulcolorsofnature #sunrise_sunsets #sunrise_sunsets_aroundworld #sunrise🌅 #sunrise_pics #colorsinthesky #colorfulsunset #lookatthosecolours #reflection_shotz #reflection_perfection #reflectionphotography #natureatitsbest #nature_skyshotz #nature_brilliance #burningsky #photooftheday #instagood #beautifuldestinations

The list was compiled using an algorithm that over a period of twelve months took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for the global landmarks.

Coming out tops for the second year in a row is Cambodia’s Angkor Wat. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is the largest religious monument in the world and earned a five out of five star rating on TripAdvisor.
