10. Barcelona
Barcelona has an abundance of photogenic attractions, from Gaudi’s architecture to the dramatic Gothic Quarter.
9. Istanbul
The breathtaking Istanbul skyline has been the focus of numerous Instagram snaps over the past 12 months.
8. Jakarta
Indonesia’s sprawling metropolis at first glance, with its high rise, concrete and grid-lock streets, might not seem like an obviously Instagrammable destination.

With its dramatic scenery and snowy weather, St Petersburg is a true winter wonderland.
6. Los Angeles
Beaches, rugged mountain ranges and deserts, LA has got what it takes to be an Instagram city.

4. São Paulo
From its beautiful cathedral to the Ibirapuera Park, Brazil’s capital city has a lot to offer visually.
3. London
London is a cinematic city, with historic architecture, winding, cobbled streets and a slew of iconic buildings that tourists just can’t get enough of.
2. Moscow
Being in Moscow feels like stepping straight into a Tolstoy novel, and any photos evoke a fairytale-like, bygone quality.
1. New York
In top position is The Big Apple where life feels like a film set, with photogenic sightings at every corner – from cultural monuments to that Instagrammable skyline.
