The 23 most Instagrammed countries of all time

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you can quantify it with Instagram's data.

Travel agency Jet 2 recently analysed Instagram data on countries all over the world to find out which nations people liked to photograph the most.

Looking at total posts leading up to November 2016 with specific hashtags for countries (i.e. #India), the ranking of the most Instagrammed places in the world is surprising.

While larger, countries like the USA did feature in the top 10, smaller places, like the tiny, oil-rich nation of Kuwait in the Middle East, also ranked highly.

Three countries in the top 23 are all closely linked. Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia are all largely made up of islands adjacent to each other in the Indian Ocean - with some countries sharing borders on the same island - and have collectively amassed more than 65 million Instagram posts.

From India to Italy, here are the most photogenic countries in the world, according to Instagram.
