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.
