must-sees
Not to miss
Must-sees are things considered essential to experience—attractions, films, or events that shouldn't be missed: The Louvre is one of the must-sees of Paris.
The term functions as both noun and adjective: a must-see destination, the must-sees on any tourist's list.
It implies consensus about significance or quality.
