Must-See Attractions

What this intent's data shows

Top picks by destination

The must-see attractions each destination's answers name most often, all checks combined. Destinations are listed alphabetically by country and state or province — each one is asked about separately, so they aren't ranked against each other.

A comparable question is one tracked question for one destination where, on each assistant's latest answer, at least 3 assistants named a clear #1 must-see attraction. It counts as agreeing when all of them named the same one.

Concentration: how often a destination's most-cited must-see attraction appears in its answers (destinations with at least 10 answers).
