Pixsy, which is an image monitoring platform, conducted research that “compared Instagram hashtag data from more than a hundred cities worldwide that are famous for their picturesque horizons,” according to Daily Hive Toronto.

 

The report reads, “By cross-referencing against annual visitor numbers and local populations, we were able to find out the most Instagrammable cityscapes; those stunning scenes that encourage both locals and tourists to pick up their cameras and click.”
