Bangkok, Thailand is the most-visited city in the world in 2018, according to new data from Mastercard. The credit card company’s annual Global Destination Cities Index revealed the most visited cities around the globe, and the results aren’t too surprising. Southeast Asia and Europe easily take the top spots, with the United States only snagging one mention in the top 10. It’s also worth noting that the data doesn’t account for daytrippers — only people who spend at least one night in the city.

Here are which cities made the top 10 and how many annual visitors they currently receive.
