A recent study by travel experts at Dubai Tours & Tickets used Google Keyword Planner to determine the monthly average Google searches for tourist destinations around the world.

Niagara Falls topped the list, with the three waterfalls spanning the Canada-US border searched for around 160,661 times per month.

The Eiffel Tower came second with 90,109 average monthly searches, while Alcatraz Island was third with 88,423 searches.

Buckingham Palace, the only UK attraction to make the top 10, took sixth place with 65,916 average monthly Google searches.

Magdalena Petrusic, a travel expert from Dubai Tours & Tickets, offered advice to Brits looking to tick off some of their dream travel destinations.

She said: “These iconic landmarks are on many Brits’ bucket lists, and for good reason.

“However, that can mean getting to see them in person, unobstructed by swathes of other tourists, can be an expensive challenge.

“Some of the destinations on this list, including Niagara Falls, Central Park, and the Northern Lights, are free to visit, but to save money on travel, booking out of season can reduce the costs of flights and accommodation, and increase the likelihood of a quiet viewing.”

Other destinations in the top 10 included the Grand Canyon , the Taj Mahal, and Machu Picchu.
