Frequently asked
How do you rank sightseeing places?
By a blend of star rating and review count, biased toward attractions categorised as landmarks, viewpoints, parks, monuments, and historic sites. A 4.8-star spot with 12,000 reviews ranks above a 4.9-star spot with 30 reviews.
What if I want lesser-known sights, not famous ones?
Rankings will surface the famous ones first, but the list is long enough to scroll past. Hidden gems usually appear from result 5 onwards — places with strong ratings but lower visibility.
Are these places open year-round?
Most are. Outdoor viewpoints and monuments are usually free and accessible at any time; museums and indoor venues have hours, which you'll see when you tap through to Google Maps.
Best time of day for sightseeing?
Early morning (before 10am) and late afternoon (after 4pm) for photos and crowds. Midday tends to be busiest at popular landmarks, especially in summer.
