The ranking of the best North American cities to visit according to travelers

North America is made up of three large countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Therefore, there are three different rankings per country plus the ranking for the Northern Region. New York has an unparalleled volume of online reviews. Mexico takes second place in the ranking. Banff, Halifax, and Clearwater sneak into Canada's top 10.

Reviews and ratings were collected using AI and BI-based TourReview software from different OTAs: GetYourGuide, Viator, TripAdvisor, Google, Klook, Tiqets, and Expedia. In the subcontinent, the US leads with 3,933,976 online reviews and a rating of 4.8. Mexico ranks second with 770,893 online reviews and a rating of 4.8. Canada ranks third with 381,940 reviews and a rating of 4.8 according to travelers.

The “city that never sleeps,” as many call it, is so beloved by visitors that it ranks first in the country’s ranking as a must-see when traveling in North America.

“These three diverse countries demonstrate excellence in tourism quality, each with their own gems to share with visitors. The United States was crowned with the Empire State Building and the 911 Memorial. Mexico’s top attractions were Chichén Itzá and Tulum, while Canada stood out with the iconic CN Tower and Niagara Falls. These are already some of the greatest monuments in the world, but it is still important that they maintain high quality in order to continue attracting tourism to each country through online testimonials,” said Juana Muro, COO of TourReview.
