...or are they?

 

We've got the round-up but we want to know if you agree with the rankings. From our very own English capital to holiday classics like Rome and a few surprises along the way. Here are the top 10 travel destinations in the world.

 

 

1. London (UK)

 

It's no surprise that London made it to the top of the list this year. With the Queen's Jubilee and the Olympics coming to the city this year, it's a great summer to visit the capital city.

2. New York (USA)

 

We love NYC because it's like five cities in one. Each borough has its own style and feel. After you've seen the major sights in Manhattan, check out the other boroughs like the Lower East Side and Harlem.

 

3. Rome (Italy)

 

The architecture alone will fill your holiday itinerary. But don't miss out on the amazing food. Pizza, fresh pasta, rich red wines and of course there's the gelato! 

 

4. Paris (France)

 

An essential on every European tour. What can you say about this city? It's classic in every way. Don't you dare leave town without seeing the Eiffel Tower and touring the Louvre.

 

5. San Francisco (USA)

 

Swinging bay-side, there's so much to love about this city (except the fog). Top sights? Fisherman's Wharf, Aquarium of the Bay, riding the cable cars and checking out the Presidio.

6. Marrakech (Morocco)

 

Marrakech is like a world on its own. Getting lost in the exotic medina will be a highlight of your trip. Shop the markets, get duped into buying a carpet and sip mint tea well into the evening.

 

7. Istanbul (Turkey)

 

Europe meets Asia in Istanbul, the Turkish capital has a ton to offer history buffs. Don't miss the Hagia Sophia which has been a church, mosque and museum in its lifetime. The architecture is something to feast your eyes on.

 

8. Barcelona (Spain)

 

We love Barcelona. Excellent wine, the most delicious tapas, the beach, fine art museums... With some great museums on offer and a great city beach, you can combine culture with your beach holiday so easily here.

9. Siem Reap (Cambodia)

 

This is the best spot to base yourself if you want to explore the incredible Angkor Archaeological Park. What more can we say? It's absolutely epic.

 

10. Berlin (Germany)

 

Finally Berlin is getting the attention it deserves. It's got a lot going for it, super modern meets Baroque. Berlin is home to one of the best zoos in the world. While there's a ton of WWII sights to see, Berlin is pushing some exciting borders on the arts front.

 

Will you be heading to any of these cities this summer?
