Paris (Capital of France)16 million visitors

     Plunk yourself down at a table in a small café, enjoy a glass of wine and watch le monde go by. Everyone wants to see the major sights of Paris—and it's true, it'd be criminal to leave town without visiting the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, etc. But to truly appreciate this city, you need to get away from the tourist sights.

                                                                                

Bangkok (Thailand's capital)12.2 million visitors

      If you’d rather seek enlightenment in a gourmet meal, or dance the night away, you’ll also enjoy Bangkok—the restaurant and nightclub scenes here are among the best in the world. Bangkok is full of exquisitely decorated Buddhist temples—as you go from one to the next you’ll be continually blown away by the craftsmanship and elaborate details.
