Yes, but where is it? Most-Googled landmarks

You won’t be surprised to learn that you can Google what people are Googling; after all, it’s the company that inspired the joke help wanted poster (No need to apply, we already have your information). An Australian insurance company, Columbus Direct, went to the source to find the most-Googled tourism attractions.

As you might have guessed from the photo above, the Taj Mahal tops the list, but the big surprise is that for most of the top ten, the main questions used to Google them are heavy in “Where is…” and “in which state…” and “on what continent…”
