4th most popular tourist attraction in the United States

Faneuil Hall Marketplace is listed as the 4th most visited tourist attraction in the United States according to Forbes:

forbestraveler.com/best-lists/…

Rather surprising, although if you consider ';Orlando'; as a single destination I think it would probably far outrank it.

One of my favorite statistics or factoids, which may or may not still be true, is that supposedly more people visit Orlando every year than visit the entire country of Italy. I wish I knew where I heard that. :-)

Except for Disney World and Disneyland, the top ten attractions, on the list, are ';free'; attractions and are frequently visited by both locals and tourists. Many tourists and locals would go to NY%26#39;s Time Square, DC%26#39;s National Mall and Memorial Parks, Boston%26#39;s Faneuil Hall/ Quincy Market and San Francisco%26#39;s Fisherman%26#39;s Wharf more than once per year and would account for such a high annual visitor count.

Number 22 of most popular Tourist attraction in the US --Cape Cod National Seashore!


Hey Remay --- I feel partly responsible for the National Seashore%26#39;s Popularity ... my family of 4 and three other families (11 people) visit at least once in May. Then in August, my family and our friends (family of 5) pay 2-3+ visits ... doing things that range from sitting on the beach to following the walking trails, watching movies at the vistors center and participating in ranger-led events.
