Feel like stepping into a Bob Ross painting? Banff has you covered. Hike to hidden lakes, explore Johnston Canyon’s frozen waterfalls, and snap those Insta-famous turquoise waters at Lake Louise. Pro tip: Go early for glassy reflections of the surrounding peaks.

Every alley in Cartagena’s Old Town looks like a work of art, with its colonial architecture, vibrant murals, and bougainvillea-covered balconies.

And of course, you can’t leave without munching on an arepa and washing it down with a limonada de coco—both are photogenic AND delicious.

Get ready to samba your way through town. Whether you’re snapping views under the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue or posing at the iconic Selarón Steps (a mosaic masterpiece), Rio is a visual playground. Plus, it’s got a poppin’ seaside at Copacabana Beach. Grab an açaí bowl and get that perfect paradise pic.

Paris is always the moment. You’ll fall in love with the Insta-worthy cafés, the charming streets of Montmartre, the romantic strolls through the Louvre, and the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower at night. But beware, each croissant you see will be so perfect, your phone might not eat first.

Is it even a trip to Santorini if your feed isn’t filled with blue-domed churches and cliffside views of the Aegean Sea? Channel your inner Donna and have your Mamma Mia moment while exploring whitewashed streets of Oia and laying out on volcanic red-sand beaches. Pro tip: The caldera views are best during golden hour. Oh, and the local fava dip is a must-try.

Venice doesn’t just look magical—it IS magical. Straight from a storybook, you’ll float down winding canals on gondolas, explore the lavish look of St. Mark’s Square, and pass by picture-perfect piazzas. Then, live out your influencer dreams sipping a spritz by the Grand Canal as you watch the gondoliers go by. Just make sure you don’t skimp on the gelato while you’re there.

From the city’s iconic canals to its windmill-dotted countryside, Amsterdam offers feed-worthy pictures galore.

Plus, if you time it right, the tulip fields are a literal rainbow come to life and could be your next profile pic.

Kyoto blends ancient tradition with jaw-dropping beauty. Walk through the endless red Torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, wander the peaceful Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and enjoy tea ceremonies that look as elegant as they feel.

Welcome to your tropical daydream. Bali is jam-packed with gram-worthy spots, from the lush rice terraces of Ubud to the dramatic cliffs of Uluwatu Temple. Not to mention you can experience the Siap River's beauty from a unique perspective: your own private inflatable. Head out on a day of canyon tubing then make your way to the viral Campuhan Ridge walk (helllooo selfie paradise!) Just make sure, you don’t leave without trying nasi goreng, Indonesia’s famous fried rice dish.

Marrakech tops our list for a reason. Its colorful souks, intricate tilework, and golden-hued deserts create a backdrop like no other. Hit up Insta-famous Jardin Majorelle, explore the bustling Medina, and spot camels in the distance while out in the Sahara. Pro tip: bring an empty bag for all the handwoven rugs and ceramics. You’ll say you’re not gonna buy a rug...but you’re gonna buy a rug, trust me.

Feel the weight of your daily woes drift away as you reconnect with nature, conquer an active volcano, navigate the cascades of the Chao Phraya River, and find your zen during a jungle yoga sesh.
