The Most Visited City in the World and What You Don't Know

There are many cities around the world that would like to claim that they are the most visited city in the world but the truth is that by process of elimination there can be only one most visited city in the world.

At first people may suspect New York could be the most visited city in the world. The knee jerk reaction is the result of an ethnocentric urge that governs a large majority of individuals who are probably reading this. Ethnocentric is a big word and I wouldn't expect most people to try and pronounce it on their own the first time they see it. I promise I will not use the word again throughout this piece. To be honest, I'm not a hundred percent sure what it means. One thing is for certain however, that New York is not the most visited city in the world. It has great museums and a Broadway area. It even has some rockettes strategically placed around. It basically has all the weird cultures of the world all rolled up into one place. That still does not make it the most visited city in the world.

There may be an inclination to suspect that London is in fact the most visited city in the world. What you should always be weary of however, is where inclinations come from. You start with a list of monthly moon signs. From there you calculate how many ounces are in a litre. You take that figure and sound off as many types of spiders as you can think of. Once you hit the final three, sit back in a recliner rocker that someone in your family considers their favourite chair. The first color that comes to your mind will designate the answer you have been looking for and probably still leave you wondering where an inclination comes from. Regardless, it doesn't help at all and results in the realization that London with its bridge and funny way of speaking, is not the most visited city in the world.

Many of those who have pondered this question before were quick to suggest that Hong Kong might be the most visited city in the world. This would be an understandable guess considering how famous Hong Kong is for its baseball and mustard. What most people forget is that Hong Kong suffers from a tremendous amount of pollution. When a city is constrained by enormous amounts of pollution it is hard to see. If you can't see then you aren't often able to tell where you are going. If you can't tell where you are going then it is difficult to get to the people you want to spend quality time with in Hong Kong. If you are not able to get to the people you want to spend quality time with because you can't see where you are going then you might end up with women in Hong Kong who are actually fellas trying to make enough money to catch a steamboat back to Cleveland. As such, Hong Kong is not the most visited city in the world.

Regardless of what you might think, many people often wrestle with the possibility that Austria is the most visited city in the world. This would be a great guess because Austria has such a large assortment of processed meats, candy corn and a factory for the manufacture of California Governors. The city has recently been recognized as one of the friendliest in the world as a result of a particular pole conducted by some fraternity brothers vacationing for reading week. Austria can also provide a wide variety of industrial adhesives, three of which were recently named some of the finest cheese substitutes on the planet. However, for all the greatness that Austria has given the planet, it is not the most visited city in the world.

As some of you have already guessed, the most visited city in the world is Paris. It has French things, a tower, people that make you angry and some kind of smell. I'm not going to bother telling you how many people visit it every year because that number is constantly changing. There, it just changed again.
