1/14
1. Marrakech, Morocco
This marvelous city attracts more and more tourists each year. In this photo is the Koutoubia mosque, a religious building built in the 12th century for the Almohad religious movement. Meanwhile, the rest of the city is picturesque and filled with hidden gems.
2/14
2. Siem Reap, Cambodia
If you are traveling to Cambodia, before visiting the Angkor temples, first visit Siem Reap. Not far from the Tonle Sap Lake, you will find the newly renovated, colonial and Chinese-style designed Siem Reap. Many travellers on TripAdvisor have already been charmed by the temple.
3/14
3. Istanbul, Turkey
The largest city in Turkey holds many treasures! First, the architecture will transport you back in time to the Byzantine era. The bazaars and the famous Turkish baths will brighten the rest of your stay. Not to mention the irresistible local cuisine will have you hooked.
4/14
4. Hanoï, Vietnam
Hanoi is the (gastronomy) capital of Vietnam simply because the fragrances coming from the street stalls will stop you dead in your tracks to look for treats. After a stop at the Tran Quoc Pagoda, stroll around the mesmerizing Hoan Kiem Lake.
5/14
5. Prague, Budapest
The city of 16th century alchemists has not lost its charm! This is the first time that the city has entered this ranking. It seems that tourists are left with a fond impression of the city and its unparalleled architectural beauty, artistic heritage and perhaps also the fact that beer is cheaper than water.
6/14
6. London, UK
The Royal Family, pubs, fancy accents, football, picturesque phone booths and thrift stores never stop attracting tourists from around the world.
7/14
7. Rome, Italy
The historically rich Rome charms with its museums, architectural wonders, delicious pasta, pizzas, gelatos and its intriguing inhabitants. It's definitely a spot for those looking for a getaway with a taste of la dolce vita.
8/14
8. Buenos Aires, Argentina
During the day, you can take a stroll and admire the European-influenced designs. In the evening, join the crazy nights as the capital dances tango!
9/14
9. Paris, France
Of course Paris made it to the list. However, this year the romantic city dropped two spots. Still, Paris is always a good idea.
10/14
11. New York, USA
New York is like a tourist magnet. It's intense and attractive, with a skyline that's as beautiful in the daytime as it is at night. TripAdvisors have felt the buzz of the Big Apple and still look forward for more visits.
11/14
12. Zermatt, Switzerland
Switzerland has long been known for its scenic landscapes. Zermatt specifically has banned all motor vehicles so the town makes an ideal spot for a tranquil retreat.
12/14
13. Barcelona, Spain
It's a challenge to find a traveller that has been to Barcelona and left unamazed. The city is a landmark of great restaurants where you can enjoy tapas and sangria! Be sure to visit Gaudi's Sagrada Família (where work is still ongoing) before you go and relax on the beach.
13/14
14. Göreme, Turkey
Another Turkey city to make it to the list. This site has also been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's home to spectacular cave churches of the 10th and 11th centuries and the park is famous for its chimney-shaped geological formations. Simply amazing!
14/14
15. Ubud, Indonesia
Rice fields, beautiful temples and relaxing spas! What more can you ask for? Every corner of this scenic region in Bali offers you an opportunity to indulge in high end experiences. If you are more the sporty type, other activities like cycling, rafting and hiking the volcanoes are available too.

Take a look at these captivating destinations that won the hearts of TripAdvisor users and the 2015 Travellers’ Choice Award.
