Since 1995, “Travel & Leisure” magazine has done an annual survey of travelers to find the best city in the world for tourists.
And, for the second year in-a-row, Kyoto, Japan has been ranked the world’s best city.
Last May, my family and I went there again, (Click here to see my post and photos from that trip), and we agree – Kyoto is a very lovely city!

Personally though, I think that Tokyo is the best city in the world…but maybe that’s because I’ve lived here most of my life and I know my way around Tokyo very well. Either way, I can understand why Kyoto is so popular with tourists!
The Travel & Leisure top-ten cities for 2015 are:
1. Kyoto, Japan
2. Charleston, South Carolina
3. Siem Reap, Cambodia
4. Florence, Italy
5. Rome, Italy
6. Bangkok, Thailand
7. Krakow, Poland
8. Barcelona, Spain
