As eager as we are to explore as much of the world as humanly possible, some places are just too good not to visit a second, third, or even fourth time around.
These are the cities or countries you yearn to see again, the first names that pop into your mind when someone asks “Where do you recommend I travel?”.
But how do you find that next great destination if you haven’t got an avid group of travelers around you sharing their every experience?
That’s where the newest InsureandGo report comes in.
The company analyzed thousands of Reddit comments and reviews in search of the places people can’t wait to visit again – the destinations we can’t seem to get enough of.
So, whether you’re searching for a new city to fall in love with or are just curious to see if your favorite made the cut, make sure to read through the top 10 ranking below, starting with the last five spots:
- Mexico City
- Edinburgh
- Berlin
- Amsterdam
- Tokyo
Now, let’s get into the best of the best, and I’m telling you right off the bat – Paris isn’t No. 1.
5. Rome
As soon as I set foot in Rome, I knew I wanted to go back somewhere down the road, and it seems like I’m not alone in that.
Travelers have fallen in love with the city’s old-timey feel, Mediterranean climate, and world-class attractions, the sheer number of which is unbelievable.
You’ll need at least two or three separate visits to take in everything the city has to offer, from the millennia-old ruins and Renaissance palaces to the cafe-filled piazzas where you can sit back, people-watch, and sip on the best espresso you’ve ever tried in your life.
4. New York City
The only U.S. city to make it to today’s list is none other than New York, a place so iconic you probably already imagined its skyline as soon as I uttered the name.
Unfortunately, though, it truly is as chaotic and difficult to navigate as they say.
As soon as you’ve explored the city enough to feel like you know it, a new place opens just around the block, convincing you to make another go-around.
Even if all you do is catch a Broadway show or walk through Central Park for the umpteenth time, New York has a way of always keeping you coming back for more.
3. Barcelona
We’re traveling to Europe and staying there for the top three spots.
First up, we’re stopping in Barcelona, a sunny gem that’s both visually and culturally enthralling.
The millions of pictures you might’ve seen of Sagrada Família and Park Güell can never capture how truly jaw-dropping these places are in real life, and when you understand that these are just a sliver of Barcelona’s thriving city scene, it’s only natural to want to go back time and time again until you manage to see it all.
And I won’t even get into the sun-kissed beaches and otherworldly food whose taste lingers long after the last bite – you’ll have to check these out for yourself.
2. Paris
OK, so it isn’t No. 1, but Paris still had to make an appearance.
As much as travelers like to complain about Paris getting dirtier and more overcrowded by the day (all of which is valid, by the way), they don’t seem to be in a rush to stop visiting the French capital anytime soon.
And who can blame them?
Getting a chance to see the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame Cathedral, or the Louvre is special enough the first time around, and when you’re presented with the opportunity to do it twice?
Well, you don’t say no to that.
1. London
Topping today’s list is a city that has taken over all travel news lately – London.
The English capital is going through what can only be described as a tourism renaissance, breaking record after record and topping international rankings with no signs of slowing down.
Whether it’s a tour of Buckingham Palace, a play in the West End, or the incredible street art scene in Shoreditch, there’s always something exciting waiting for you in London, no matter how many times you’ve been there before.
