If you're looking for somewhere to go on holiday and you put a lot of stock by the opinion of people who love nothing more than following up a meal, hotel stay or museum visit with a TripAdisor review then listen up, because the website has announced its Travellers' Choice Destinations awards identifying 10 key locations that its users have top-rated.

Maybe surprisingly for us Brits who constantly dream of blue oceans and white beaches, London actually came in second on the list, with other city breaks Paris, Rome and New York taking third, fourth and fifth place respectively.

These cities all rank highly due to their history, culture and architecture, but it is Bali's pristine beaches, beautiful forests and laid-back pace of life that made the island beat these traditional destinations to the top spot.
