Most visited destinations in the world

We’ve compiled a list of the most visited places across the world. This list includes the most popular places and we’re adding new, little-known destinations as well so you can experience the wonders of tourism outside the typical box.

Beijing

Nowhere is China’s influence more apparent than Beijing. As China’s political and cultural hub, Beijing offers a glimpse into the nation’s expansive history and its rapid modernization.

Shanghai

Shanghai is a modern day commercial mecca! If you can embrace the unexpected, the radically new, and the immense crowds, you’re ready to tackle China’s most dynamic metropolis.

Barcelona

Barcelona contains both the authentically historic and the wildly bizarre. From the tree-lined Las Ramblas to the narrow alleys of Barri Gòtic; from the beachside nightclubs to the city’s dozens of sacred churches and cathedrals, this city by the sea seems to attract all types.

Seoul

Tour Seoul, Korea’s capital city for a smorgasbord of travel delights. From traditional palaces to the trendiest shopping districts and most amazing cuisine.

Montreal

There is only one word which really captures the essence of Montreal: multifaceted. This city represents the melding of the Old and New Worlds, with 18th-century structures blending into a 21st-century skyline.

Bahamas

The Bahamian islands have blossomed into a tropical Eden, alluring throngs of visitors to their white-washed shores, duty-free shops, fishing and scuba diving excursions and luxurious resort lifestyle.

Maui

From its heavenly beaches to its scenic wonders, there is little question the island of Maui is any visitor’s delight.

Cape Town

The Mother City is unlike any other destination in Africa: Separated from the rest of the continent by a ring of mountains, Cape Town stands as a glittering, metropolis juxtaposed with one of the world’s most breathtaking natural landscapes.

Edinburgh

If your impression is confined to bagpipes, tartans, crests and kilts, you’d be wrong. The second most-visited city in the United Kingdom (after London), Edinburgh offers an abundance of things to do.

Zurich

A fairytale city, Zürich is set on the banks of both a river and a lake, with the snow-topped Swiss Alps rising in the background. Despite its reputation for being the center of old-school international banking and a capital for frou frou chocolate confections, Zürich is also a very modern city with modern sights.
