The Most Instagrammable Cities in the World

Some cities are simply made for the camera — every corner, rooftop and side street begs to be photographed. If you love travel photography (and that perfect post), these are the most photogenic cities on Earth.

Colour and pattern

The blue lanes of Chefchaouen, the tiled façades of Lisbon and Porto, and the pink walls of Jaipur deliver endless colourful backdrops that pop on any feed.

Iconic skylines and setting

Paris with the Eiffel Tower, Dubai's futuristic skyline, Cape Town beneath Table Mountain and Rio de Janeiro's beaches are impossible to photograph badly.

Timeless beauty

Venice's canals, Prague's spires, Kyoto's temples and torii gates, and Marrakech's souks round out a list of cities that will fill your camera roll. The best light is at dawn and golden hour — get up early to beat both the crowds and the harsh midday sun.
