Amsterdam, 3 November 2022 – Last night, Tiqets announced the 7 Global Winners for the 6th annual Remarkable Venue Awards, which celebrates the best museums and attractions in nine countries around the world.

The winners were chosen based on more than 9,000 consumer votes cast between 27 September and 19 October.  More than 60 Regional Remarkable Venue Award Winners, chosen based on visitor reviews on Tiqets.com and a panel of tourism experts, competed to take home the title of Global Winner in their category.

From Germany’s magical Neuschwanstein Castle to Portugal’s mesmerizing Oceanario de Lisboa, this year’s Global Winners were voted best in their category by thousands of travel and culture lovers from around the world. The Iberian peninsula was especially popular among consumers this year, with Spain and Portugal taking home 5 of 7 awards based on consumer votes.

The awards ceremony where the winners were announced also included a keynote address by Kellee Edwards, a travel expert who hosts her own travel show and a podcast with Travel + Leisure. During her speech, “Get Lost Through Travel”, Edwards, who’s been named one of the most powerful women in Travel by Conde Nast, focused on how museums and attractions can evoke a sense of adventure in their experiences.
