The city is now a major regional force in finance and business. It is an international hub for transport and health care, and is emerging as a regional center for the arts, fashion and entertainment. The city's vibrant street life and cultural landmarks, as well as its notorious red-light districts, have given it an exotic appeal.

The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road and Patpong. Although Bangkok's sex tourism scene is well known to foreigners, it is usually not openly acknowledged by locals or the government.

Every year nearly as many people visit Bangkok as actually live there with 10.2 million annual tourists. Although it may strike you as a hot and polluted metropolis, the city is actually very cosmopolitan and worth exploring, not least for the excellent food you can find. Unfortunately a large proportion of the visitors to Bangkok are drawn there for unsavoury reasons with the Thai capital having a reputation for sex tourism.

There is one overriding reason why just over 14 million tourists visit London each year – The British Royal Family. London is home to one of the few monarchies which still operate in Europe. Therefore Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard are eminently fascinating to citizens of other countries which don’t pay to keep their royal families.

London also has huge parks, world class theatre and musicals and amazing shopping in the likes of Harrods and Hamleys. All in all there are enough quirky traits, including its black cabs and red buses, to keep visitors enthralled.

Top 10 most visited cities in the world


The most recent tourism statistics on city visits throw up some surprising information. It is not really surprising that the City of Light in Paris comes first because of all its amazing attractions and food.


But would you have expected New York to be so far down the list at number six, below Singapore and Kuala Lumpur? Neither is there any place on the list for Italian cities with Rome and Venice strangely missing, probably because of the high costs for tourists. The absence of Cairo in Egypt is also felt considering that millions of people travel there each year to look at the Pyramids of Giza.

Name of top 10 most visited cities :

1).  Paris, France
2).  London, United Kingdom
3).  Bangkok, Thailand
4).  Singapore
5).  Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
6).  New York City, United States

Bungee Jumping, Border of Zimbabwe and Zambia

10).

Any bureaucratic hassles with crossing the border are soon forgotten once you are looking at this 115 metre bungee jump. What makes the jump extra special is that you actually plunge from the Victoria Falls Bridge with the incredible sights and sounds of the Victoria Falls, otherwise known as The Smoke That Thunders.



Although these are not the highest or the longest waterfalls in the world, the combined height and width make them one of the most powerful. While your bungee jump may only last a few minutes the experience of exploring the Victoria Falls gorges, or going out into the neighbouring countryside for a safari, will stay with you for a lifetime.

Scuba Diving, Yongala Shipwreck, Australia

9).
Dive the S.S. YONGALA Wreck with Yongala Dive, one of the world’s top dive sites. This famous wreck is located in the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, just 12 nautical miles away from our base at Alva Beach in Queensland, Australia.






This massive ship wreck is the gem in the crown of the Great Barrier Reef as you literally have to fight your way through fish. Every type of intriguing and downright scary aquatic animal is attracted to this sunken 109 metre ship including turtles, sea snakes, bull sharks and hump-back whales. Divers have described the experience as akin to swimming in an aquarium or partaking in a filming session of the Blue Planet. Entry of the wreck is forbidden by law.




Mountain Biking, Yungas Road, Bolivia

8).The North Yungas Road (alternatively known as Grove's Road, Coroico Road, Camino de las Yungas, Road of fate or Death Road) is a 61-kilometre (38 mi) or 69-kilometre (43 mi) road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 kilometres (35 mi) northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's most dangerous road".



Only at your own risk - the Yungas road is considered the world’s most dangerous because it is steep, long and unpaved. For some unfathomable reason thousands of tourists choose to mountain bike down more than 38 miles of twists and turns on this bumpy road. There are no guard rails for safety and the nearest hospital is two hours away. Your ears are likely to pop as you descend almost 4,000 metres from the Andes Mountains down to the Amazon rainforest. If you dare take your eyes off the road there are some incredible views to be had.



One estimate is that 200 to 300 travellers are killed yearly along the road.The road includes cross markings on many of the spots where vehicles have fallen.

A South Yungas Road (Chulumani Road) exists that connects La Paz to Chulumani, 64 kilometres (40 mi) east of La Paz, and is considered to be nearly as dangerous as the North Road.


This is one of the few routes that connects the Amazon rainforest region of northern Bolivia, or Yungas, to its capital city. Upon leaving La Paz, the road first ascends to around 4,650 metres (15,260 ft) at La Cumbre Pass, before descending to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) at the town of Coroico, transiting quickly from cool Altiplano terrain to rainforest as it winds through very steep hillsides and atop cliffs.
