Study Reveals The 15 Most Instagrammed Destinations In The World

Thousands upon thousands of snap-happy travellers have shared their #beachvibes, #sunsets, and #wanderlust on Instagram. The app is our go-to place for planning holidays and making friends jealous of our jet-setting, and we’re never short of inspiration.

Sometimes we’re in the mood to get away from it all, but when we’re looking for a quick digital ego boost, capturing a selfie in an Insta-famous location is sure to do the trick. These well-trodden spots are immortalised on countless social media accounts across the globe, yet they haven’t lost their charm (or their ability to pull in likes).

The online travel specialists at TravelBird studied the hashtags of 470 popular tourist attractions to reveal the most Instagrammed destinations in the world. According to their ranking, the top 15 are:

Adventure suggestions, please! I’ll be back in Peru in June, wrapping up a photo workshop in Cusco on June 17. After that, I’m considering a week-long adventure in South America! Any prime suggestions? Anyone keen to join? Let’s do something epic.

#14 Grand Canyon

The South Kaibab Trail begins with a series of tight switchbacks known as “the chimney.” This is where ice will most likely be encountered during winter months. Hikers are reminded that during the spring freeze-thaw cycle an increase in naturally occurring rock falls should be expected. From the Trailhead near Yaki Point, the South Kaibab drops rapidly through the 400 foot (120 m) layer of Kaibab Limestone. This portion of the trail was blasted out of the sheer cliff in 1925. #GrandCanyon #Arizona #Hiking -mq [Image description: a sheer limestone cliffs in which six switchbacks have been cut. A number of tiny hikers are visible here and there along the trail.]
