This Beloved NYC Park Is The Most Instagrammable Landmark In The U.S.
If you’re looking to spice up your Instagram feed you need only take a stroll around NYC! That’s according to Student travel company Rustic Pathways who set out to find the most Instagrammable landmarks in the U.S., and New York City is home to five of the top ten!
Rustic Pathways found the top 100 U.S. landmarks according to TripAdvisor and searched them on Instagram to find the number of posts using each landmark’s most popular hangtag. The number of posts were then ranked from highest to lowest to determine which are the most Instagrammable.
And the number one most Instagrammable spot won’t surprise you: it’s the city’s beloved Central Park.
According to their data, Central Park has 8,329,774 Instagram posts with the hashtag #centralpark. And who knows how many people have Instagrammed photos of the park without the hashtag! The site writes:
Located in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is an iconic landmark spanning 843 acres. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened in 1858 and is renowned for its picturesque landscapes. The park contains many attractions, including the Central Park Zoo, Belvedere Castle, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, making it a beloved retreat for both locals and tourists looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
