Most of the destinations we dream of travelling to are often the ones that we have already
scrolled past on social media, admired, liked or saved for another day. From golden sunrises to sweeping panoramas, every view adds up to the visual diary in our imagination, we hope to experience for ourselves. There are a few cities that dominate the world’s travel feeds more than others. So here are some of the most photographed places around the world that are ideal for your travel bucket list.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai
The Burj Khalifa, renowned for being the tallest man-made skyscraper in the world, is another of the most photographed places in the world. Owing to its majestic outlook, this beautiful tower attracts huge crowds round the globe throughout the year, but the best time to visit would be when the weather remains a bit cooler, between November and February.

Beyond the dazzle and glamour lies a city that never quite sleeps—a vibrant crossroads where Broadway lights up the night, and the city’s unmistakable rhythm comes alive.
Big Ben, London
Think of London. What are some of the iconic landmarks that you can possibly think of? The famous clock tower in the north end of Westminster Palace attracts visitors from around the world. If you’re here, be sure to visit the Great Bell (known as Big Ben) housed within the Elizabeth Tower; facing the clock tower, you will find some of the most amazing spots for photography. You can take a tour inside the tower or stroll down the surrounding Westminster area. Don’t forget to capture the shining morning sun or glows.
