How to show objects count in Django template

Question

I have a program that post some places and shows them in a HTML template, but I also want to show the users many of these places I have and I'm wondering how I can reach this.

I have in my models.py:

class Places(models.Model):
     name=models.CharField(max_length=100)
     text=models.TextField()
     website=models.URLField()
     published_date = models.DateTimeField(
            blank=True, null=True)

def __str__(self):
    return self.name

def publish(self):
        self.published_date = timezone.now()
        self.save()

in views.py:

def places(request):
     places=Places.objects.order_by('-published_date')[:10]
     return render(request, 'templates/places.html', {'places':places})

and the html template:

<div class="container">
<h2>Places<span class="badge"> HERE'S WHERE I WANT THE NUMBER OF PLACES</h2>
</div>

I hope you can help me out. Thanks for the answers

You can use this template filter:

{{ places|length }}

Don’t overuse count() and exists()
