💥 The #1 Tourist Attraction in the World for 2025?
Basílica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. The unfinished church that’s been under construction since the 1800s just scored the top spot, and now it’s even more of a must-see than ever. (Don’t worry, they say it’ll be done in our lifetime. Maybe.)
🚀 The #1 Tourist Attraction in the U.S.?
NASA Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida! That’s right — you don’t have to leave the state to visit the best attraction in the country. Houston may have had the problem, but Florida’s got the bragging rights.
