How pretty is your city?
According to Level Frames, a company that focuses on framing artwork and personal photos, it’s all based on social media posts. This unscientific study analyzed Google search data, Instagram and TikTok hashtags to reveal the top locations for the picture-perfect getaway—the type of place that results in a framed photo on your wall.
The most stunning destination? Drumroll please: Bali, Indonesia for its amazing temples, lush greenery and remarkable beaches. Paris and Madrid were next, followed by Las Vegas and New York (which tied for fourth). The other U.S. city to make the top 10 was Los Angeles.
Having visited all of the top 10 cities on this list, I wouldn’t juggle them around that much but maybe pop a city or two onto this list—Prague in the Czech Republic or Seville, Spain are both architectural gems. Rounding out the list, Dubai, as opulent as it may be, is a bit overhyped in my opinion. But if you haven’t visited these cities, you should.
As for Las Vegas, you’ll find natural beauty at Red Rock Canyon, picturesque plating in the restaurants and incredible backdrops and immersive experiences in its many museums.
When it comes to parties and love, Las Vegas was a winner topping Level Frames’ list for best bachelor party destination and ranking for bachelorette parties (four), as a wedding destination (four) and for being one of the best cities to propose in (seven).
