What’s number one on your list of things to see around the world? The Empire State Building, maybe, or the Eiffel Tower? 

Well, for many people the answer is actually a combined one – the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s and the Sistine Chapel in Rome. 

The 3-in-1 ticket was the most popular travel experience around the world last year, according to TripAdvisor’s latest trend report

This was followed by a river cruise in Chicago and skip-the-line tickets for a walking tour of Ancient Rome and the Colosseum. 

The data shows that travellers are increasingly interested in non-traditional experiences while staying loyal to the globe’s most iconic sites. 

Historic and heritage experiences, food tours and cooking classes are also big areas of growth.
