Paris has been named the top destination if you're looking for cultural city breaks .
The French capital has topped a new global ranking, beating out the likes of New York and London, thanks to the number of breathtaking heritage sites and cultural activities to be found in the city.
The rankings were revealed by MyVoucherCodes who determined the winners based on the number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, museums, art galleries, theatres, concert halls, public libraries, cinemas and other heritage/historical sites to be found within each city.
Although Paris didn't have the highest number overall in each category, it was in the top three cities with the highest numbers in almost every category except for 'other heritage/historical sites'.
It's no surprise that Paris proved to be such a hit.
