When it comes to sunsets, no place is more popular than Key West.

And in Key West, there’s no better place to watch the sunset than Mallory Square, according to a not-at-all dubious study from mornings.co.uk.

The website, which offers guides for mattresses, pillows and beds to promote better sleep, compiled a list of the best places to watch the day begin and end. Mallory Square, as it turns out, is the most popular place to watch sunset.

Gathering for sunset is one of the top tourist activities for Key West visitors. Hundreds gather every night at the square, which features performers, food stalls, arts and crafts vendors and — of course — the sun, at least for a short while.

Tourists can actually see the sunset at Mallory Square, too: The cruise ships parked there head out to sea before the sunset celebratio­n starts.

Other top sunset spots are Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates; Top of the Rock observatio­n deck in New York City; Piazzale Michelange­lo with its views of Florence, Italy; Uluwatu
