While spending an entire vacation without posting a single photo is admirable, most of us are mere mortals and could never resist the temptation of a great selfie!
And it’s more than vanity, taking selfies and photos on a vacation makes for the best keepsakes, something you can look at on a gloomy day and remember all the beautiful moments and experiences you had.
Therefore, without further ado, we are revealing the best selfie locations around the world. Oh and, you might want to hurry - all these locations are gaining popularity as we speak!
Amalfi Coast, Italy
While the Amalfi Coast is far from unexplored, there are still a couple of hidden gems here you can use to shoot the best selfies, such as the Ravello viewpoint and its mesmerizing gardens.
Amalfi Coast is gorgeous in every way: kaleidoscopic houses, turquoise sea, mouthwatering food, and of course - dolce far niente - the sweetness of doing nothing.
Make sure to bring your best outfits to the Amalfi Coast, because the selfie sessions here can last for hours - there are so many gorgeous spots for a luxury selfie.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Iceland
Okay, we admit, sounds cold, but… Have you ever seen the breathtaking scenery of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in Iceland? Oh yes, undoubtedly worth it!
This place truly looks otherworldly with its untouched ice and stunning views. Bonus points? Definitely fewer people than in Times Square.
Sunset at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon hits differently - almost purple clouds and afterward, the clearest sky with the brightest stars! Did we mention it’s a good spot to catch the Northern Lights?
Trolltunga, Norway
Standing on Trolltunga rocks truly feels like standing on top of the world. The Norwegian fjords are generally stunning, but this spot is practically made for the perfect shots.
Dusk or dawn, this place is magnificent. And even though you need to prepare yourself for a long hike, in the end, the results will stun you!
Burj Khalifa, Dubai
Surprise, surprise - the tallest building in the world makes a great luxury selfie location! Needless to say, you can capture yourself and the entire city of Dubai from the top of Burj Khalifa.
Dubai is a great place to travel to if you’re looking for modern glam, and even if you can’t get to Burj Khalifa, there are many impressive skyscrapers with glass walls in this city.
Additionally, if you want to further impress people on social media, you can easily rent luxurious vehicles and e.g. go to shopping malls to get a taste of the most opulent brands.
Grand Canyon, Arizona
Apart from offering a reset from city life, the Grand Canyon has spectacular views and astonishing sceneries.
The most popular photoshoot locations are the Lipan Point, the Navajo Point, the Grandview Point, and the Hopi Point. Additionally, you can try two more beautiful places - Horseshoe Bend and Angels Window.
Cappadocia, Turkey

Remember those hot air balloon photos on Instagram? Yes, they were all taken right here, in Cappadocia, Turkey.
Apart from the balloons, this place is also famous for its distinctive ‘’fairy chimneys’’ - unique cone-shaped rocks that can be found in Monks Valley.
Pro tip: This is a wonderful spot for proposals, and even though you won’t be the first or last to propose/be proposed in Cappadocia, this will still be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Seville, Spain
The best selfie locations in Spain deserve a respective article, but we opted for Seville as the capital of Andalusia, which is probably the most picturesque region of Spain.
Due to its rich history, Seville offers a variety of spots for the perfect selfie - Plaza de España, Alcázar Gardens, Palacio de las Dueñas, and many more!
History has recognized Sevilla as a significant cultural hub, once the capital of Muslim Spain, and an important center for Spanish exploration of the New World. All in all, this marvelous city is a real treat for the eyes!
Eiffel Tower, France
One of the most visited tourist attractions in the world - the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Every day, thousands of tourists come here to take photos and see the tower up close, but here’s how you can try to avoid the big crowds.
Trocadero Steps, Rue De L'université, and Pont d'Iéna are great spots that can capture both you and this renowned monument in one perfect shot!
If you’re lucky, you can get an entire apartment at the top of the Eiffel Tower (one that Gustave Eiffel made for himself) just for you - it hardly gets more romantic than that.
Corcovado Mountain, Brazil
Corcovado means hunchback in Portuguese, but it’s also a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro. More precisely, Corcovado is a granite peak with a height of 710 meters, and it’s a part of the Tijuca Forest National Park.
The Christ the Redeemer statue, which is located atop Mount Corcovado, is well-known throughout the world. If one of the 7 world wonders isn’t a good enough selfie location, Corcovado offers a stunning panoramic view of the second-biggest city in Brazil!
Kruger National Park, South Africa
One of Africa's largest game reserves is the northeastern South African province of Kruger National Park. The Big 5 (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalos) are among the many wild animals that live there in great numbers.
The park is a major natural area that welcomes over a million visitors annually, making it a genuinely iconic travel destination for tourists from around the world.
Go to the northern part of the park if you want an unbothered experience with fewer fellow tourists since the southern region is where most people spend their time!
