HomeAll PostsGeneralThe 20 most Instagrammed locations of 2015...

I love Instagram (the way it connects people and the geotagging is nice to see where these gorgeous photos are taken)!

In fact, according to Beautiful Destinations founder, Jeremy Jauncey, there are around 353 million travel related posts on Instagram – with many users tagging their locations on their uploads.

Instagram has revealed its top geotagged locations of 2015, and one thing was for certain – tourists love Disney, with four of the five parks featuring in the top 20 results.

It is cool to see that I had a chance to go to some of these this year! I was surprised that the Sydney Opera House was not on the list!

Which ones did you go to?

Here are the 20 most popular locations photographed on Instagram this year:

1. Disneyland — Anaheim, California

2. Times Square — New York, New York

3. Central Park — New York, New York

A staggering 42 million visitors annually flock to New York's Central Park to see the area in all seasons
