Whether visiting a foreign country or the beauties of their own land, everyone packs a camera along with other gear in order to immortalize every moment of their trip. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional photographer who’s looking for the perfect shot of a famous place or just a casual tourist who wants to document his travels, everyone loves to take pictures regardless of the type of camera they own.
These are the most photographed cities in the world according to Google Maps’ Panoramio service. Of course, many people take photos and don’t upload them to Google Maps but to other local services, but in any case, it’s a very neat map. The number one most photographed city on the planet is New York City, followed closely by Rome, Barcelona, Paris, and Istanbul.
“The heatmaps are based solely on the number of available Panoramio photos for an area: both the number of photos and the number of authors is taken into account. The dark and the blue areas have a few photos, the red areas have more and the yellow areas have a large number of photos geotagged.”
