Checking in to a location via Facebook is no longer just a way to tell your friends where you are. 

It has become a social barometer of travel.

Facebook measured users’ check-ins across 25 cities around the world to determine the most social landmarks.

The result? Parks, gardens and shopping centers are popular hangouts in a lot of places, while in Norway folk really like to spend their free hours at TGI Friday’s. There’s no accounting for taste.

Among the top landmarks, seven were sports stadia, six were public areas, while amusement parks, concert arenas and shopping centers earned two spots each.

Two Asian attractions made it to the final cut: the Tokyo Dome and Seoul’s Lotte World, an amusement park.

Each country has its distinctive characteristics, and this was portrayed on the popular landmarks in respective cities as well. 

Sports arenas and stadia were the most popular venues in cities in the United States. Chicago’s Wrigley Field and San Francisco’s AT&T Park were most checked-in.

In New York, Times Square made the first slot.

For London, the city of many innovative artists and musicians, the O2 concert arena was ranked no. 1. 

Climate also seemed to play a role in people’s travel interests, with warmer weather eliciting check-ins at outdoor spots such as beaches, while in colder cities such as Moscow, concert halls, bars and clubs were the most popular.
