The British travel affiliate website Weloveholidays.com decided to rank the top 30 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Europe. They did not base their list on editorial opinion, rather, on the number of five-star reviews on Tripadvisor, as well as positive Twitter posts made in the last six months.

Based on these two factors, the site designed a 0–100-point scale, and

Budapest, Hungary ended up topping that list with 53.8 points.

Our capital city tallied up 4,393 five-star reviews on Tripadvisor and around 124,000 positive tweets in the past half a year. Second on the list was the city of Lübeck, Germany. It amassed 51.5 points with 1,355 immaculate reviews, and 127 posts on Twitter praising it (which, by the way, was the most any location collected on the list). The Tower of London came in third, with 45,000 five-star Tripadvisor reviews and 20,000 positive Twitter posts,

The Schönbrunn Palace and its gardens in Vienna, Austria, the Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín in Granada, Spain, and Antoni Gaudí’s works in Barcelona, Spain also made the top 30 list.

Budapest was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 1987. More narrowly, it was the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, and Andrássy Avenue, among other sites, that made the United Nations’ cultural and education agency convinced to designate the capital city with a World Heritage Site title.
