How this list is made
Ranked by the Herald score: recognition (guides, heritage, visitor numbers, the tourism boards), interest from abroad (English Wikipedia), what Sweden Herald readers rate and read, how recently the facts were checked, and the editors. Nothing a place pays changes its place in the list.
We do not have enough reader ratings for these places yet, so for now the order rests on the outside signs and on how much the world looks for each place. Ratings will count once readers have given them.
