The company Global Market Insight has interviewed foreigners to check out what cities they find the most attractive. According to participants` opinions, the 1st place was given to Sidney, 2nd – to London, and the 3rd – to Paris. The top 3 cities of tourist attractiveness are followed by Rome, New-York, and Washington. St. Petersburg takes the 40th position in the rating, and Moscow – only 48th. Foreign tourists find Moscow climate the worst of all the cities presented in the list, and think that the most wicked people dwell in the Russian capital.
However, some Russian experts consider the results of the rating non-objective, as there is an opinion that the notion of the Russian capital foreigners often get is based on stereotypes, acquaintances` experience and media.
