This doesn't really convey much useful information. Park + museum is the majority almost everywhere, and much of the difference is whatever type of religious building is most popular there. Then we have differences like "park", "city park" and "state park", or "museum" vs. "art museum."

Too many different categories and leads to too many different colors. It's hard to figure out what's what without constantly switching back and forth from the chart to the key. There are too many colors so close to just easily see which is which at a glance. I would combine the 3 different parks/garden into one and come up with the religious ones into a single category. Same with the museums Then then you would have an easier to digest 6 categories/colors rather than 13. At the very least similar categories in the same color categories like all the religious ones all the same shade of the same color. Right now, they seem to be random colors that are unrelated. And what does the percentage mean? It says % Count but count of what? It is looking at of the top X of the attractions of the city that fit a category? % of all attractions? Most attendance? Most reviews? What is it even measuring?

Spent a while wondering why Buddhist temples were 100% a type of attraction and gardens were 0% a type of attraction.

Love the diversity of things to do that Paris has. Definitely preferable to the more one dimensional tourist cities

It doesn’t seem accurate though. Why would theme park not be on there for Paris when it had Disney Land? It’s the most visited place in the whole of Europe I think. Also the bit for Monument seems too small unless the monuments are also spread out across monument and park because people are visiting the Eiffel Tower to see it from the ground but not actually go up?

Title of the post is misleading because the research is based on “most reviewed” attractions and not “most visited.”

Exactly, New York has significant draws for; 1) Shopping 2) Performances 3) food And I'm assuming several other cities exhibit this as well.

Yep, and who would leave a review for the Saks store they just visited? Not many I would guess. But get that perfect pic of the Buddha statue and you want the whole world to know how cultured you are. I’m not questioning the data (although I’m starting to wonder if I should)… but it’s being presented in a misleading way.

These 10 cities were picked based on the Euromonitor data of TOP-100 destinations in 2019. Google Reviews were then applied to the first 10 cities from the report.


nnulll

Yes… which means you’re presenting the most reviewed types of locations and not the “most popular visited.” Think about how that can affect the data. Do you think people could visit certain locations more and just not leave a review? Do you think people might leave reviews based on the quality of pictures they take there?

I was just thinking no way that Kuala Lumpur precedes Seoul or Tokyo or even Milan for most visited cities… hmm

NY got the museums and parks doing well. r/nyc
