💨 Abstract

The study analyzed 51 global cities and identified Paris, Hanoi, and Shanghai as the top three most stressful destinations for travelers. Paris topped the list due to overwhelming crowds, with over 47.5 million tourists annually in a small area. Hanoi's sweltering humidity and stressful reviews made it second, while Shanghai's high visitor density and crime rate secured its third place. A South African city also featured in the top 20.
