From green spaces to iconic bridges, NYC is a goldmine for photo ops that will rack up those likes. According to a new study by Betway Casino, which analyzed Instagram data from over 50 major U.S. tourist attractions, five New York City landmarks are considered among the top ten most Instagrammable spots in the country. We, of course, could not agree more.
Here’s the lowdown:
Central Park, 8.3 million posts
Our green space ranked number one overall on the list. No surprise here. Central Park reigns supreme with a whopping 8.3 million posts on Instagram and more than 250,000 TikToks. Whether you're capturing a lazy summer afternoon or a snowy winter wonderland, the iconic park is a magnet for photos among locals and tourists alike. Plus, the blend of nature and city views (we’re partial to Rat Rock) makes for endless creative shots.
Times Square, 5.2 million posts
Bright lights and big screens: Times Square holds strong in second place. With more than 5 million posts, this neon-filled hotspot serves “I’m here” energy. The crowded streets, flashing billboards and bustling vibe make for dynamic selfies and cityscapes.
Brooklyn Bridge, 3.9 million posts
Arguably the most photographed bridge in the world, the Brooklyn Bridge is more than just a way to get between two boroughs. Its stunning views of both Brooklyn and Manhattan, especially at sunset, have earned it nearly 4 million Instagram posts.
Empire State Building, 3.3 million posts
No New York City list is complete without the Empire State Building. With more than 3 million posts, the iconic skyscraper remains a favorite backdrop for both tourists and locals. Whether you’re gazing at it from below or capturing a sunset from the observation deck, this landmark is a certified Instagram hit.
Statue of Liberty, 2.4 million posts
The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom and a perennial favorite among Instagrammers, with over 2.4 million posts. You can snap your best shot from the ferry or in close-up glory but, either way, Lady Liberty’s majestic presence never fails to inspire awe.
Outside of the Big Apple, the Grand Canyon took the top spot on the country-wide list, with 4.4 million posts capturing its iconic views.
