Most parts of the world are opening up to tourists again, and I’ve made a list of ten of the most Instagrammed places in the world for you to see and visit. Covid-19 restrictions might still be present in most of these locations though, so be sure to do your research before booking a trip. This shouldn’t stop you from filling your travel lists with all or some of the fun places below.

The list kicks off with Tokyo and ends with Australia’s finest, Sydney. So, get ready to catch a glimpse of ten of the most Instagrammed places in the world.

1. Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque destinations in the world. At least if Instagram users globally have anything to say about it. The city is brimming with enough beauty, cultural history, and luxury to keep everyone satisfied. There are sacred shrines and temples to gawk at, breathtaking gardens, and skyscrapers that will drop your jaws. If you’ve had enough of seeing this city vicariously through pictures, why not visit? After all, more than 53 million hashtags and photos on Instagram can’t be wrong, can they?

2. The Philippines

For all the Island lovers, it doesn’t get better than the Philippines. There are hosts of Islands to choose from, numerous beaches, waterfalls, and surfing spots for your pleasure. If you’re salivating already, you’re not the only one. Apparently, The Philippines comes in a close second on the list.

3. Paris, France

What’s Paris got going for her apart from the sultry accents, and the Eiffel tower? Lots of things apparently! Excellent food and desserts, corner street musicians and so much more. There must be an unspoken rule that dictates you have to visit Paris at least once in your lifetime, so why not?

4. New York

All hail the Big Apple. Filled with lots of historical sites, exquisite shops, and BROADWAY! What’s not to love about the city? If you desire to see the Empire State Building, Central Park, and Brooklyn, then take a trip down. And while you’re at it, remember to take tons of pictures as millions of other people have done!

5. Dubai

Like me, you probably expected this to be the first on the list. Well, here it is! And where to begin? Burj Khalifa? The Miracle garden or the Global village? There are so many fun and luxurious places to go. Be sure to find out about acceptable practices though before booking a trip down.

6. Istanbul, Turkey

Behold the beautiful city sitting between Europe and Asia. If you’ve ever heard of the Grand Bazaar, Sophia Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, you’ve heard of Istanbul. When you’re tired of ogling those beautiful pictures, schedule a trip down and see this wondrous location for yourself.

7. Havana

The Caribbean isn’t left out of the action as Havana grabs a spot on the list. According to a report by Big 7 Travel, "Havana’s frozen-in-time allure is one of the things that makes it so unbelievably photogenic." The city has a host of exquisite food, festivals, and sights to offer. Make plans to visit!

8. London

If you’re looking for the best of the best in Europe in terms of beautiful pictures, you’re looking for London. But don’t just take my word for it. Take mine and the word of 145 million other people with London hashtags on Instagram. Plus, who wouldn’t love a drive around Brighton and Cambridge and love to feast on the views of The Tower of London and the British Museum.

9. Chicago

According to Big 7 Travel, "there are almost 50 million Chicago hashtags and it shows no signs of slowing down." The photography agenda Big 7 recommends includes the mind-bending “bean” in Millennium Park and tons of restaurants built for the gram.’ And while you’re visiting, be sure to visit the Navy Pier, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

10. Sydney

What’s one of the most beautiful things about Australia? Visiting Sydney! If you need proof, look through the 32 million Sydney hashtags on the gram, and you have your answer.
