The top attractions in the world that tourists complain about the most because they have to stand in line to see them were presented by experts from the Hawaiian Islands publication. Topping the list of attractions where you have to wait in line is the Eiffel Tower.
“When planning a trip to a popular destination, don’t forget to take into account the waiting time in line. To understand which attractions will take you the longest, check out this list,” the authors of the rating write.
To compile it, they analyzed a list of the top 100 tourist attractions to determine which ones were the most likely to generate “long queue” complaints. The leader of the rating, the Eiffel Tower, has over 4.8 thousand such reviews; during rush hour you will have to wait up to three hours. London’s famous London Eye will make tourists wait only 45 minutes — it ranks second.
However, the compilers of the rating urge you not to be upset.
“If you want the full tourist experience in a major city, be prepared to inevitably spend a significant portion of your vacation queuing,” they write.
