The city of affection conquers all.
Paris, France secured the top spot as the best city in the world in keeping with the rating Rating of the top 100 destinations by Euromonitor International.
The winning spot is no stranger to the French, who also climbed to the top of the list last yr.
“Paris retained its title as the world’s leading city because of its outstanding performance in tourism policy and attractiveness; tourist infrastructure; and pillars of tourism performance,” said Nadejda Popova, Senior Project Manager at Euromonitor.
Recent York is the only U.S. city to make the top 10 — but only so, barely ending last.
The city rankings are based on economy, business, tourism, infrastructure, politics, attractiveness, health, safety and sustainability.
European destinations fared significantly better than most areas.
“The nice position of European destinations in the Index is largely attributable to 2 vital pillars – tourism policy and tourism attractiveness and infrastructure,” stated Euromonitor.

Unfortunately, popular cities corresponding to Amsterdam (third), Madrid (fourth), London (sixth) and Tokyo (twentieth) didn’t stand a probability.
Nevertheless, second-ranked Dubai took the lead in international arrivals by city, with over 12 million trips in 2022.
Other than Recent York, only 17 other US cities made the list, including Los Angeles (14), Orlando (22), Miami (30), San Francisco (43) and Honolulu (78).
It could come as a surprise to some that Recent York City is the highest-ranked American city in the entire country. Fortunately for the Big Apple, horrific crime rates, rising homelessness and political scandals haven’t been aspects in top city rankings.
In keeping with Euromonitor International, international tourism has seen a positive rebound following the lifting of many COVID-19 restrictions in 2022, and consumers are apparently looking forward to getting back on the plane and seeing what the other side of the world is like.
While there was a big increase in tourism, regions are still in search of ways to enhance infrastructure and sustainability and meet the needs of tourists, the organization said.
