This article was originally published in 2015. it's been updated with new information.
1.Bangkok, Thailand
Number of overnight visitors: 22.78 million.
For the past six out of seven years, Bangkok has been the foremost popular city for international travelers, thanks in large part to its appealing mixture of historical sites and modern hot spots: the gilded Grand Palace complex, the luxurious Mandarin Oriental, the canals and alleys crammed with street food vendors—and that's just the beginning
2.Paris, France
Number of overnight visitors: 19.10 million.
It's nearly impossible to resist the charms of France's capital—and quite 19 million travelers obviously agree. the town is understood for its chic hotels and inimitable restaurants, which could explain why within the highest ten, it's second only to Dubai in terms of dollars spent per day ($296). Totally worthwhile .
3.London, UK
Number of overnight visitors: 19.09 million.
There's such a lot to try to to in London, it bears repeat visits. An efficient transportation means you will not need to blow your budget on transportation here, which frees you up to spend your dollars at the city's new David Bowie-themed bar and 2019 Hot List-winning Backside Hotel—and maybe devour a bespoke suit while you're at it.
4.Dubai, UAE
Number of overnight visitors: 15.93 million
It looks like Dubai will never stop trying to outdo itself. Within the past year, the town opened Massimo Bottura's new restaurant at at W Dubai The Palm and introduced resident DJs at its international airport (because of course). But all that pomp seems to be paying off—quite literally. Tourists spent a fantastic $553 per day there this past year
5.Singapore
Number of overnight visitors: 14.67 million.
Even if you didn't hop on board the Crazy Rich Asians train in 2018 (shame!), you almost certainly know a touch bit about this alluring city. Not only does Singapore have the world's best airport—one that got a serious upgrade this year—and most Instagrammable hotel, but its street food continues to reign supreme.
6.kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Number of overnight visitors: 13.79 million.
One of the world's best cities for street food has also proven to be an all-around holiday destination. Visitors spend a mean of 5.7 nights within the Kuala Lumpur , but with numerous great hotels to remain in (we're watching you, Grand Hyatt and Shangri-La), we propose you plow ahead and stay a full week.
7.New York City
Number of overnight visitors: 13.60 million.
From the Italian restaurants of the Lower side to the sky-high hotels of Midtown, there is no city on earth quite as energetic (or caffeinated) as ny City. we will not blame overnight visitors for spending a mean of $152 per day—and stretching their visits to 7.9 nights—here.
8. Istanbul, Turkey
Number of overnight visitors: 13.40 million.
Moving up a spot from last year's list, Istanbul continues to draw in visitors with its historic architecture, gorgeous boutiques, and inventive restaurants—not to say the burgeoning arts scene within the city's Karaköy neighborhood. it is easy to ascertain why our readers voted this gem one among the simplest cities within the world last year.
9.Tokyo, Japan
Number of overnight visitors: 12.93 million.
With more U.S. flights heading to Haneda Airport, a record-breaking number of Michelin-starred restaurants, and preparations in situ to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, there's never been a far better time to go to the simplest city within the world, as voted by our readers.
10.Antalya Turkey
Number of overnight visitors: 12.41 million
Antalya was narrowly edged out by Seoul in 2018, but the resort city finally broke into the highest 10 this year—and permanently reason. apart from its beachside hotels and epic Roman ruins, Antalya also happens to be situated along Turkey's Turquoise Coast—one of the country's most scenic (and one among our favorite) places to spend a summer vacation.
