TripAdvisor today announced a list of top landmarks in Asia and Europe based on reviews by Indian travellers on TripAdvisor.
The list showcases the landmarks which are most highly rated by Indian travellers on TripAdvisor.
While the Taktsang Monsatery in Bhutan tops the Asia list, Thailand emerges as the country with the most number of landmark attractions loved by Indian reviewers in Asia, followed by Malaysia and China.
Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest), Bhutan is the top landmark in Asia: This fantastic and very special monastery literally hangs at the edge of a cliff at a steep 900 meters above Paro valley. It is usually advised to visit it at the end of your stay in Bhutan, when you are acclimatised to the altitude. The view is great and the atmosphere holy, a place where every Bhutanese will want to come at least once in his life. It has many legends associated with its origin as a sacred Buddhist site and is
Italy houses the maximum number of highly rated landmarks by Indians across Europe with 8 places making it to the list, followed by France and Russia with 4 landmarks each.
Cathedral (Duomo), Milan is the top landmark in Europe: The Duomo cathedral is the symbol of Milan. It's also the real centre of Milan - all the roads radiate out from the Duomo at its heart. It is renowned for its size (it is the third largest Catholic Church in the world after St Peter’s in Rome and the Seville Cathedral) and for its many statues (more than 3400). Its construction probably started in 1386 and took almost 600 years to build. At the time it was built it could hold the entire population of Milan, 40,000 people. Its predominant style is late Gothic, but with elements belonging to the Romanesque tradition, such as for example the “hut” shaped facade”. The exterior is striking with its many spires and statuary - the interior is just massive.
