This year, Ha Noi ranked 15th in the list. 

London knocked protest-hit Paris off the top travel slot in the ranking determined by reviews and ratings over the past 12 months for hotels, restaurants and experiences.

Paris took second place in TripAdvisor’s best-rated travel destinations, with Rome coming in third, followed by Crete, Bali and Phuket.

Meanwhile, 2019 was the first year New York — which has been a long-time favorite with travelers — slipped out of TripAdvisor’s top 10 to rank as the 13th best-rated destination in the world.
