The Catacombs, The London Eye, The Sistine Chapel – all bucket list holiday destinations and all have a waiting time of over 2 hours.
Waiting in queues is, unfortunately, all part of travelling abroad.
Especially if you want to visit all of those famous tourist attractions you always hear your friend’s raving about.
The better the reviews, the longer the line – in fact, some of the world’s most famous of attractions have waiting times of up to 4 hours.
TripAdvisor have put together a list of the longest queues for famous attractions around the world… better pack a book?
If these wait times scare you, worry not, TripAdvisor offers tours that let your book ahead and skip the line.
Now read on, so you can prepare yourself for the wait that is to come.
It’s a great way to see London, but do you really want to wait for 2.5 hours?
Probably, or the queue wouldn’t be 2.5 hours long.
Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums = 2 hours
The most famous Chapel in the world and a museum chronicling the history and accomplishments of mankind over the last 2000 years, not really surprising there is a long line.
The Colosseum = 2 hours
Considered one of Romes best preserved monuments in Rome, the Colosseum is besieged by tourists on the regular.
Catacombs = 2 hours (up to 3-4 hours during summer)
The Catacombs in Paris are a true must see attraction.
A genuine labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, filled with the remains of approximately six million Parisians.
Just make sure you’re prepared for the extra two hour wait in the summer.
Eiffel Tower = 2 hours
Two Parisian landmarks make the top five of the world’s longest queue.
Ask a Parisian and they’ll surely tell you they hate it, but it is by far France’s most iconic landmark.
