Number of international tourists in 2016: 52.4 Million
The capital of Italy, Rome, alone is enough reason to visit the country. Rome is home to the Vatican, and the birth place of the Roman empire — the remnants of which can still be seen. Many people visit Italy to experience this powerful civilization that once ruled the entire world. And of course, we cannot forget about the amazing Italian cuisine.
