Kyoto in Japan has been named the best city in the world for visitors, for the second year in a row, by the influential Travel + Leisure magazine.

The city of temples and gardens was described by the magazine as offering the “quintessential Japanese experience”. It offers visitors everything “from history (in the form of spiritual shrines) to notable cuisine (shojin ryori) and encounters with the infamous Geisha dancers”, the magazine said.

If a theme could be discerned among this year’s winners, it perhaps involved well preserved historical quarters. There were three ancient European cities on the list: Florence (in fourth place), Rome (fifth) and Barcelona (eighth).
