Hotels

To start, you need somewhere to stay, but we aren’t all lucky enough to live in the lap of luxury while on our travels.

Here are some of the most snapped hotels in the world, including many on the world-famous Las Vegas strip, as well as the home of the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, the Marina Bay Sands, and the iconic Burj Al Arab.

Restaurants

Treating yourself to some fine dining is a key part of any trip away, but sometimes the surroundings that you dine in can be as appetizing as the food!

Some of the world’s most Instagrammed Michelin-starred restaurants in the world include Eleven Madison Park in New York and Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, but the eatery with the most hashtags on Insta is Sketch, in London, which is famous for its quirky interior, including a magical forest, chairs wearing ballet shoes and a bright pink tea room.

Landmarks

Even if you’re not one for social media, you have to grab a quick picture of the most iconic landmarks that you encounter on your travels!

But which do we love the most? While Paris’s iconic Eiffel Tower is one of the most instantly recognisable landmarks in the world, it just falls short of New York City’s Central Park, with over seven million hashtags.

Skylines

A stunning cityscape can make for some of the best pictures, with millions uploaded to Instagram from around the world.

It says something when a city’s skyline is instantly recognizable which is certainly the case for the likes of London, with the imposing figure of Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, but none more so than New York City, featuring the Empire State Building, One World Trade Centre, the Chrysler Building and more.

Theatres

Lovers of the performing arts are having to miss out on seeing their favourite shows and musicals from around the world at the moment, with theatres across the globe laying empty.

Of course, you shouldn’t be whipping out your phone to take some snaps during the performance, but they often boast some beautiful and unusual architecture on the outside too, such as at the iconic Sydney Opera House.

Beaches

If being dragged around theatres and museums isn’t your thing, then you might feel more at home relaxing on a beach in the sun and letting the world pass you by.

It all seems a long way away given the current scenario, but here are some of the most Instagrammed beaches from around the world, including Venice Beach, California and the famous Bondi Beach in Australia.
