IgoUgo's Week in Travel: First in First

Posted on August 1, 2025 in Community Highlights

Earlier this week, the IgoUgo Travel Blog tried to give tips on how to save some cash by staying close to home in the US this summer. However, this week’s international top destination is a first, and a surprising one—but only because it hasn’t been number one before.

The mysterious top destination was none other than London. We were surprised that it had never achieved that honor, too! Always flirting with the top, London beat out such other famously popular spots as New York and Las Vegas.

London was standing tall through some other categories, including the most-viewed business: Madame Tussauds. That’s another first that certainly made us wax philosophical.

Four Englishmen (not the fab ones) rounded out the trio of tops for London, claiming the top photo spot as well.

Finally, while London was not directly involved, members certainly took a chance on what proved to be the top blog post. Have a great weekend, wherever you go!
