Tripadvisor annually publishes the Travelers' Choice Awards Best of the Best rating. These are the destinations whose hotels, restaurants, and entertainment have received a large number of reviews and opinions from the community over the past 12 months.
According to Tripadvisor, less than 1% of its 8 million listings receive the Best of the Best award, signifying the highest level of travel excellence. For the third year in a row, Dubai has been named the best tourist destination. Here is an overview of the top 5 leaders in the Travelers' Choice Awards Best of the Best rating, covering 25 destinations.
Dubai
Dubai is a place where modern culture meets history, and adventure meets world-class shopping and entertainment. Attend a performance at the Dubai Opera House, view the city center from the heights of the Burj Khalifa, and spend a day along Dubai Creek exploring the gold, textile, and spice souks. If you're looking for a thrill, you can soar over the desert dunes in a hot air balloon, climb aboard the IMG Worlds of Adventure high-speed ride, or skydive over Palm Jumeirah.
Bali
Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that looks like a fantasy. Soak up the sun on the white sand or interact with tropical wildlife as you dive along coral ridges or the colorful wreckage of a World War II warship. On the shore, lush jungle hides stone temples and mischievous monkeys. The "art capital" of Ubud is the perfect place to see a cultural dance performance, take part in a batik or silver-smithing workshop, or invigorate your mind and body with a yoga class.
London
From the chic style of Shoreditch to the punkish Camden to the chic Portobello Road, London is many worlds in one. The energy of the city means that no two days here are alike. Explore royal and historical sites, cross sights off your bucket list, eat and drink in exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoy a pint in a traditional pub, or get lost in the winding cobblestone streets and see what you come across - when it comes to London, the possibilities are endless.
Hanoi
The charming Vietnamese capital has aged well, preserving the Old Quarter, monuments, and colonial architecture while making way for modern development. Hanoi may have lost a few of its former names, such as Thang Long, or "rising dragon," but it has not forgotten its past, as evidenced by landmarks such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Hoa Lo Prison. Lakes, parks, shady boulevards, and over 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city, which is easy to explore by taxi.
Rome
Rome wasn't built in a day - and you'll need much more than a day to see this timeless city. The city is a real collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and amazing historical monuments. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and Pantheon, and enjoy the perfect espresso or gelato before heading out for an afternoon of shopping on Campo de Fiori or Via Veneto. Here, you can also enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life, from fresh pasta to succulent roasted artichokes or tender braised oxtail.
