Good to know

The list comes from Wikidata (CC0): museums, castles, palaces, cathedrals, parks, gardens, zoos, squares, monuments and other landmarks with their own articles in at least three Wikipedias, the best known first.
Each place counts for one city, the one closest to it by size and distance, so nearby towns don’t repeat it.
There are no opening hours, tickets or pictures here: the Wikipedia article for each has them.
