Revealed: the most visited destinations in 2015

For a second consecutive year, New York has ranked as the number one most visited destination for UK travellers in 2015 ahead of other cities across North America, Europe and Asia. 

Home to some of the most iconic sights on the planet and renowned for its expansive assortment of dining options, New York cements the USA at the top spot. However, the survey by Hotels.com has also revealed that Las Vegas is no longer one of the top five most visited cities for UK travellers, having dropped to number nine. It was replaced by Rome. Barcelona, Dubai and Berlin, all moving up one slot. Paris, Amsterdam and Dublin have all proven to be as popular as ever, by remaining in second, third and fourth place respectively. 

New to the top 20 is Singapore at number twenty but, with its beautiful beaches, clear blue sea and affordable cost of living, this year’s biggest climber with a jump of eight places from 19th to 11th is Mallorca.

The UK’s top five inbound destinations have maintained their positions for another year, with London holding on to first place. Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow follow behind consecutively. Reading also climbed one position by overtaking Nottingham to enter the UK’s top 20 most frequently visited cities inbound.
