A study by MasterCard lists the top tourist cities across the world in the year 2011. Here you go:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Rome, Italy</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzj-_W2tx4LIm4WF6io8LgCr9pjWqu3mS53Zf5tphfcSd2WQoFXJZk-DtW4hHfQyOcCAZ_T5tXTfRVFToceKmfW9SdkZgZwkV92r2oRPCzJp5jdgpvmACmdwz0FbWzS5kteqWzoI3KUHM/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rome, Italy" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzj-_W2tx4LIm4WF6io8LgCr9pjWqu3mS53Zf5tphfcSd2WQoFXJZk-DtW4hHfQyOcCAZ_T5tXTfRVFToceKmfW9SdkZgZwkV92r2oRPCzJp5jdgpvmACmdwz0FbWzS5kteqWzoI3KUHM/s640/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+11.jpg" title="Rome, Italy" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The city of endless art, churches and monumental museums has something 
to offer everyone. Check into The Hassler Roma, located at the top of 
the Spanish Steps, right in the heart of the city, and shop till you 
drop at Via Condotti. Rome's a treat for the eyes as well with historic 
landmarks, like the Pantheon, St Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum, the 
gardens of Villa Borghese and of course, the Trevi Fountain.</div>
<br />

9. Dubai, United Arab Emirates</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQQJP6-pQFx0H8lBnuQqDKz8YaATLMLlrulqo9sCq62A0V_EH9OeCGKty1Unk-kd_pUYvkdeSXHW93awP8IfeDCIpwM0NejVCCnRuKZoiimCaLaZ49ACj8TSWf0IyP8gSk0ZOKaIPGdI/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+12.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dubai, United Arab Emirates" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQQJP6-pQFx0H8lBnuQqDKz8YaATLMLlrulqo9sCq62A0V_EH9OeCGKty1Unk-kd_pUYvkdeSXHW93awP8IfeDCIpwM0NejVCCnRuKZoiimCaLaZ49ACj8TSWf0IyP8gSk0ZOKaIPGdI/s640/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+12.jpg" title="Dubai, United Arab Emirates" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The flashy desert city of Dubai has lots to engage the traveler with. 
Check in to the world's fist Armani hotel at the Burj Khalifa, or this 
year's 'Leading Hotel' winner, the Burj Al Arab. At night, head to 
Buddha Bar, at the Dubai Grosvenor.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Frankfurt, Germany</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQIXEgnB89KP-0O7KxPwCtQgagEUC_EV6yfhu3iDDyQYr5iyWGoXtuEXTSU8g9jlim_LlFYo6axNOGH8nwAoXGoqSsIWrDg5dq1TW2I8HtGRkiSB5-vyYA6USBHA-yEEQ5ND42OOTFb84/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Frankfurt, Germany" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQIXEgnB89KP-0O7KxPwCtQgagEUC_EV6yfhu3iDDyQYr5iyWGoXtuEXTSU8g9jlim_LlFYo6axNOGH8nwAoXGoqSsIWrDg5dq1TW2I8HtGRkiSB5-vyYA6USBHA-yEEQ5ND42OOTFb84/s640/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+13.jpg" title="Frankfurt, Germany" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of Germany's most stylish cities, Frankfurt's beauty lies in the 
seamless balance between old and new. The skyline moves effortlessly 
from the neo-gothic to the modern and is dotted with great hotels like 
the Schloss Reinhartshausen and the recently opened Villa Kennedy, an 
early 1900s mansion with modern accents like metal chandeliers. Shop at 
Zeil, Frankfurt's famed shopping street, which has outlets of all haute 
designer labels and luxury stores.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Istanbul, Turkey</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNenHnyj7lyURxMcV3TCFfb6qxKiv61pjYvQ00WxVqemBB2B6CJUXU1GCGr3e0BN5ifN4-BPRBp4ZZfOeeTeKmqDO1tCDQ5KVNGsv4k660cW20fU7SrHILYDxjy0jEFcgFF_AgfoAtOI/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+14.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Istanbul, Turkey" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlNenHnyj7lyURxMcV3TCFfb6qxKiv61pjYvQ00WxVqemBB2B6CJUXU1GCGr3e0BN5ifN4-BPRBp4ZZfOeeTeKmqDO1tCDQ5KVNGsv4k660cW20fU7SrHILYDxjy0jEFcgFF_AgfoAtOI/s640/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+14.jpg" title="Istanbul, Turkey" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Turkey's capital city has enough ancient monuments, bijou boutiques, 
theatres and art Galleries - like the modernist Istanbul Modern Gallery.
 Istanbul offers amenities befitting a king, from private cruises across
 the Bosphorus Sea to self-indulgent luxury spas in a genuine Ottoman 
mansion. We recommend staying at the Ajia - a modern, minimalist 
boutique hotel by the sea. The hotel, with 16 rooms, including three 
suites that come with Philippe Starck baths next to the beds, is 
reachable after a 35 minute boat ride.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Madrid, Spain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR_gJiP-6OkA3xev4j98vQiVYJIPOkXGPE_7o5fsKaVLHuDMD9ScR4czUBJN1h4btHC4g_b8lxtEHZET1jZR1vLic6kPN7jOqzDYnHeVeDzvhOrcgYb37mLK9G3VXdoQBWQU-R0iMl1rU/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+15.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Madrid, Spain" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR_gJiP-6OkA3xev4j98vQiVYJIPOkXGPE_7o5fsKaVLHuDMD9ScR4czUBJN1h4btHC4g_b8lxtEHZET1jZR1vLic6kPN7jOqzDYnHeVeDzvhOrcgYb37mLK9G3VXdoQBWQU-R0iMl1rU/s640/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+15.jpg" title="Madrid, Spain" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Madrid is a party city. But the city has enough for the culture vultures
 too. The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (see pic) with its 
Picassos and the Museo del Prado which has a fabulous collection of 
Velázquezs, Goyas, Rubens, Rafaels and Botticell are worth a visit.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Hong Kong</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUvfX-mIjnDzL1gM14lJxudJk4pU8kPNu-a58hcBYhsDyqlVc9TYHrE2rUaxECr7JKMmKhj3_ZCEw5Z0_usIMoc96EMKkVbemT4b1y_fMTi7H3MFd1i8X4HcqnKloLL9MfKOkOih_47E/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+16.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hong Kong" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRUvfX-mIjnDzL1gM14lJxudJk4pU8kPNu-a58hcBYhsDyqlVc9TYHrE2rUaxECr7JKMmKhj3_ZCEw5Z0_usIMoc96EMKkVbemT4b1y_fMTi7H3MFd1i8X4HcqnKloLL9MfKOkOih_47E/s640/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+16.jpg" title="Hong Kong" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The city is home to the Hong Kong Ritz Carlton, tallest hotel in the 
world. So it's worth it to head to the hotel's Ozone bar for drinks and 
the view, or even the a stylish Italian restaurant Tosca, whose 
highlight is the Chocolate Library - a cacao-themed lounge, which 
apparently serves up some real divine chocolate high tea. And with the 
Spectrum Wine Auctions also coming up, wine connoisseurs have all the 
more reason to fly. Destination Hong Kong.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Singapore</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiloLqCvRC6nnKeh09wTEQNUBCmMkdFnKXvAVGBGgSOd2DNmqAY673WA5nd_kH2NbL_wfh3WnBOD3joMX5sIL0lZ0db4XgQOkncuJlQJzR2U3wVeF1eMGqhYHcZSP4oezkyb_XS_rkrPFo/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+17.jpg"><img alt="Singapore" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiloLqCvRC6nnKeh09wTEQNUBCmMkdFnKXvAVGBGgSOd2DNmqAY673WA5nd_kH2NbL_wfh3WnBOD3joMX5sIL0lZ0db4XgQOkncuJlQJzR2U3wVeF1eMGqhYHcZSP4oezkyb_XS_rkrPFo/s320/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+17.jpg" title="Singapore" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The island city, with its annual shopping festival and world class 
hotels is already a hot travel destination. The awe-inspiring Marina Bay
 Sands, with its indoor canals, vast casino and roof-top infinity pool 
is one of the newest (hotel) landmarks on Singapore's horizon. Also look
 out for quirky, one-off experiences like the luxury one-room Merlion 
Suite.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Bangkok, Thailand</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirWBqxO0kNtLp9WlIpJ2Vjfbt0fjEfhSaQYay-Cix1FFLFomIf8SFhw1V-rxp3H2nwzeC6ae_hZcs9V8pmkXsm2jkBuP0xPw54igrEQ4wNwZumpdrZTrtmlIn5W-Li39Quko8PrhyphenhyphenboK0/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+18.jpg"><img alt="Bangkok, Thailand" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirWBqxO0kNtLp9WlIpJ2Vjfbt0fjEfhSaQYay-Cix1FFLFomIf8SFhw1V-rxp3H2nwzeC6ae_hZcs9V8pmkXsm2jkBuP0xPw54igrEQ4wNwZumpdrZTrtmlIn5W-Li39Quko8PrhyphenhyphenboK0/s320/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+18.jpg" title="Bangkok, Thailand" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Thai city, also on MasterCard's list of top tourist cities, is a top
 party place. Bangkok is not short of stylish restaurants and bars, like
 the SkyBar at the Sirocco Lebua Hotel. This stunning rooftop bar, on 
the 63rd floor of one of Bangkok's best hotels, boasts 360 degree views 
of the city.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Paris, France</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM5o6-lrfPpR0xGtVdYO4w5GAtDWez0umuCp5Pbg66p6Air7rCqqjNtdjfDq4Fkm2iYnLaEZNtc7IOhHVsgkPO8Hpd2NSnXoVsjPqvLDBBWZfHaa5aIVbrqssCxt0A4qjz0SodyanlAnE/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+19.jpg"><img alt="Paris, France" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM5o6-lrfPpR0xGtVdYO4w5GAtDWez0umuCp5Pbg66p6Air7rCqqjNtdjfDq4Fkm2iYnLaEZNtc7IOhHVsgkPO8Hpd2NSnXoVsjPqvLDBBWZfHaa5aIVbrqssCxt0A4qjz0SodyanlAnE/s320/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+19.jpg" title="Paris, France" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The City of Love has granted some of its top hotels the prestigious 
right to call themselves palaces. Among them are the Park Hyatt Paris 
Vendome and the Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat which are worth checking into,
 or at least checking out.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. London, United Kingdom</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKjfmfBJu6574YKI_8Y45_yPHNVJsbwEsYM3WpoJHjakzq6wRZbZmJ-6rC3wBuupfJYhmi34zKiDmNPoDwVv9D6LWeF-s0Yv_WSmcsHWVH5ogSHGhFxp4VzFNbOznNVAxPO1dcGb_9Z-g/s1600/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+20.jpg"><img alt="London, United Kingdom" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKjfmfBJu6574YKI_8Y45_yPHNVJsbwEsYM3WpoJHjakzq6wRZbZmJ-6rC3wBuupfJYhmi34zKiDmNPoDwVv9D6LWeF-s0Yv_WSmcsHWVH5ogSHGhFxp4VzFNbOznNVAxPO1dcGb_9Z-g/s320/Top+10+Tourist+Destinations+of+2011+20.jpg" title="London, United Kingdom" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the top of MasterCard's best tourist cities, London, home to the 
British Queen, has enough to keep the well-travelled visitor busy. Check
 into London's newest design hotel, W hotel, in Leicester Square. Watch 
War Horse, which just won a prestigious Tony Award, at the National 
Theatre or shop at Selfridges' summer sale. </div>
