A new ranking of the world’s top tourist destinations for 2014 and 2015 has placed Paris at the top of the heap.
With a 79 percent approval rating, the City of Light took the top spot in US News & World Report’s annual list of World’s Best Places to Visit 2014-2015, outranking 300 travel hotspots around the globe.

The list of top 25 cities and destinations, meanwhile, skews heavily towards North America and Europe, with scant representations from the Caribbean, Latin America and Oceania.
