How we pick and score attractions
We score every place from 0 to 10 on four factors: value for money, crowd level, how unique it is, and how easy it is to do. The score turns into one of three verdicts so you can decide fast.
Scores are independent. No venue pays for placement or a higher rating, and affiliate links never change a score. Every listing shows when we last checked it.
