France’s Paris was voted the world’s second best city just after Thailand’s Bangkok in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards by British travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.
“Paris has enchanted generations of travelers with its exceptional dining scene, iconic landmarks, world-class art collections and unmistakably romantic atmosphere,” the magazine described.
The Eiffel Tower remains the city’s most recognizable symbol, while the Louvre offers an unparalleled journey through art and history. Nearby, the restored Notre-Dame Cathedral stands as a testament to Paris’s architectural heritage.
