World’s Most-Visited Tourist Attractions (Part 1)

While the can’t-be-missedness of some of the world’s most famous attractions is debatable, they certainly draw lots of eyeballs. The most popular destination across the globe was Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, which recorded 91.25m visitors in 2013. Other attractions that made up the top ten were New York’s Central Park, and Union Station in Washington D.C. which both attracted 40m visitors. The attractions themselves also supplied their own data when ticket sales weren’t available.
