We’ve all heard the phrase ‘the best things in life are free’. When it comes to planning a holiday, particularly on a budget, there’s nothing better than copping a freebie to ease the financial burden, be it entry to a cool museum or access to an incredible nature spot.
That’s why Casago, a holiday home rental company, has set out to find the best free attractions in the world. Using TripAdvisor reviews, they have researched which free tourist spots have the most five-star ratings.
According to their study, the quaint Belgian town of Bruges is the location of the best free tourist attraction in the world. 94.5 percent of reviews of the Mini Harp Museum, run by harpist and enthusiast Luc Vanlaere, are five-star. A venue for intimate concerts, composed to dazzle the audience with the beauty of the harp’s sound.
In second place, and one of three entrants to the list which are in the US, is the National Museum of the US Air Force. This place includes loads of exhibitions covering different eras of American Air Force history, from the early years to the missile gallery, and 92.85 percent of its reviews on TripAdvisor are five-star.
Third on the list is Horseshoe Falls, the biggest of three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls in Canada. With 92.7 percent of the reviews of this iconic natural spot being five-star, it’s clear that Horseshoe Falls doesn’t fall short.
