Probably Krakow (Poland), Barcelona (Spain), Dubrovnik (Croatia) and Zürich (Switzerland) and of course Istanbul (Turkey).
Not Constantinople?
Constantinople was a multicultural city with significantly large Greek and Armenian minorities, the majority of whom were expelled from there between the First World War and 1955. Today's Istanbul is what's left.
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
Point.
/whoosh
If you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.
Zürich ? Really ? What about Geneva ?
Zürich - 4 million nights (2024)
Geneva - 2.3 million nights (2024)

According to another source, Zurich has annually about 11 million visitors, but it didn't provide any source for that statement.
Both you and @fibojoly@sh.itjust.works are right. Your Numbers are only strictly according to the "Gemeinde", but that's not representative. That's like saying that washington d.c. doesn't have many visitors because only very few people stay at hotels in the very small district.
More accurate is to look at the "Grossregionen" at the right, where geneva triumphs.
But we also need to point out that a lot of these stays are businessmen for zurich and people from international institutions for geneva, making any comparison impossible and giving Zermatt the win in tourism (probably).
Also I'm kind of insultet that my city (Luzern) is this low. Come visit us more, you cowards!
Do you not have enough Chinese tourists on that poor bridge already? I know Switzerland generally seems to handle tourism better by simply making goddamn expensive, but do you really want it to become like Annecy? ;)
