Next up was Chicago, Illinois, with 3,017 Instagrams, and Millennium Park chosen as the most ‘grammed.

 

Las Vegas, Nevada, Hawaii’s Honolulu, Orlando, Florida and California’s San Diego and Santa Monica, California all made the top ten.

 

 

Time warned the list was not comprehensive, as “it’s not possible to know for sure that every tagged photo is from a person on vacation.”
