There are few more iconic cities in the world than New York, with its recognisable skyscrapers, the huge Central Park, bright lights of Times Square, and the world-famous theatre scene.
The United Arab Emirates has become a very popular tourist destination over the last couple of decades, so much so that Dubai takes the second spot on our ranking, with just over 37 billion views. With its luxurious hotels, shops and restaurants, ultramodern buildings, and lively nightlife, it’s easy to see why Dubai is popular with TikTokers.
Turkey’s capital, Istanbul, has racked up just under 17 billion views on TikTok, beating the likes of London, Paris, and Barcelona to third place. Situated on the cusp of Europe and Asia, Istanbul’s fascinating architecture reflects the many empires which have ruled here over its long history, including the Roman Hippodrome and Byzantine Hagia Sophia.
