New research has revealed the most unforgettable viewpoints around the world, according to Instagram.

Unforgettable Travel Company has taken to Instagram to analyse the lookout points, observatories, viewing terraces, skywalks, and more that prove most popular with travellers  – from iconic views such as the Top of the Rock to lesser-known locations like the Petřín Hill Lookout in Prague and Sky Terrace 428 in Hong Kong.

Coming out as the most Instagrammed viewpoint in the world is the incredible Burj Khalifa with a whopping 494,465 geotagged photos of the view from the top of the Dubai skyscraper shared on Instagram.

The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the whole world so, of course, the panoramic views the top floor observatories offer of Dubai are something to behold.

The skyscraper features viewing observatories on both the 125th and 148th floors of the tower, including indoor lounges and outdoor terraces. In total, the incredible building reaches up to a height of 829.8 metres.

Seoul Sky in South Korea and Fisherman’s Bastion in Hungary also soared into the top three with over 400,000 photos tagged at each of these locations.

Elevated at 1,640 feet high, the viewing tower features an open-air walkway outside and glass floor inside, providing a truly unique viewing experience.

Located within Buda Castle, the Fisherman’s Bastion is one of the most iconic monuments in Hungary. The site offers a unique panoramic view over Budapest from its lookout terrace and is a location visitors to the city flock to so they can witness, and photograph, the majesty of the city.

The bastion was built between 1895 and 1902 as part of the celebrations of the state’s 1000th birthday.

London’s Sky Garden came in fourth, with 363,138 people posting photos of the view as they sip cocktails in the city’s ‘highest public garden’.
