Tourist trap or worth it? These are the world's best things to do, says Tripadvisor
When building out their itinerary, travelers first turn to the destination's top attractions – but sometimes it can be hard to know what's a must-do or tourist trap. To help travelers determine what's worth adding to their upcoming travel plans – or deserves a new spot on their bucket lists – Tripadvisor released its annual 2025 Travelers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Things To Do last week. Based off Tripadvisor reviews from April, 1 2024 through March 31, 2025, the awards highlight the highest-rated attractions and experiences around the world. This year, the top attractions around the globe went to the most iconic landmarks and historical places while the family-friendly NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida won for the top U.S. attraction. Meanwhile, culturally immersive and adventurous experiences dominated the list for best experiences. "With such a huge selection of travel activities and excursions available on the platform, Tripadvisor helps travelers find the experiences that turn a trip into a lifelong memory," said Tripadvisor President Kristen Dalton in a statement. "Whether you crave adrenaline or prefer to take things slow, 'The Best of the Best Things to Do' showcases the world's top-rated experiences."
