The worst thing to happen on a vacation is to shell out a bunch of money on a hyped-up tourist attraction, only to realize that the place you’ve arrived at is totally overrated. Now you’ve spent precious time and money to stand around in crowds and feel disappointed. Luckily, for every lackluster destination, there is also an amazing-and free-attraction to check out as well.
Embracing that sense of optimism, vacation rental company Casago scoured the pages of Tripadvisor to determine the best free tourist attractions in every country. Their new guide features the top attractions worldwide, organized by continent and it also features a ranking specifically for the US, for the travelers who are staying stateside.
“We located the ‘things to do’ page for every country on Tripadvisor and selected the ‘free entry’ filter. Next, we pulled the first five pages of attractions ranked by ‘traveler favorites,'” the study’s methodology reads. “Finally, we calculated the percentage of five-star, or ‘excellent,’ reviews for each attraction by country. We then ranked attractions by the percentage of five-star reviews to isolate the highest-rated attractions by country and worldwide.”
Some of the findings might surprise you-a Belgium harp museum came out as the best free attraction in the world, while the top free attraction in the US was located in Dayton, Ohio. In the UK, the top free attraction is dedicated to… coal.

Mexican restaurant chain Mad Mex has dropped a new protein, and it’s one of the most popular street foods in Mexico.
Enter, Chicken Al Pastor. It’s traditionally made with pork and grilled on a spinning rotisserie with a pineapple sitting a top, but Mad Mex has put its own spin on it, serving chicken bathed in an Al Pastor marinade with a touch of juicy pineapple.
You can order the protein-packed filling in your favourite burrito, bowl, quesadilla, nachos, or in a taco.
As always, these things are here for a good time, not a long time. Pop into your local Mad Mex restaurant, order delivery or through the Mad Mex app today.
