Meanwhile, don’t feel too sorry for yourself – there are tons of treasures right under your ‘nose’. Just take a look at the list below, where we’ve compiled the most visited cities in the world (in no particular order).

On average over 16 million people visit Paris every year. The city is a major European tourist center because of its fashion, cuisine, and architecture. Visitors have many options available including posh restaurants, cafes with sidewalk seating, shops, and markets.
