Further to last week’s blistering expose on the most liked Instagram photos from the year to date comes another piece of Internet flotsam directly aligned with your personal brand and/or interests: these are the most Instagram’ed – and thus the most popular, and ultimately, basic – travel destinations from the world over.
Leading the charge as the most geotagged location is picturesque, overly-saccharine family holiday destination Disneyworld in Anaheim, California – it’s status as the most popular perhaps due in parts to its high density of Instagram obsessed tweens and frequent sightings of popular Instagrammer Ariana Grande alike.
Dodger Stadium, LA, runs a close second, followed by Time Square; last year’s ostensible victor, Siam Paragon, a luxury Mall in Bangkok and Moscow’s Gorky Park round out the Top Five places in the world your view is most likely to be obscured by a selfie stick.
On closer inspection, another common theme emerges throughout almost every destination in the Top 10: the unchecked gaudiness of capitalism and the near to total obliteration of natural beauty. No filter tho.
The full list reads as follows:
The Dubai Mall, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Yankee Stadium, New York
Madison Square Garden, New York
Red Square, Moscow
Louvre Museum, Paris
Gorky Park, Moscow [Full disclosure: IDK if that’s Gorky Park, however it *is* a ridiculous dog in a park on the [unverified?] Russian Instagram account. Also, I can’t read Cyrillic. Deal with it.]
