The United States of America is home to some of the world’s most beautiful and diverse landscapes, from jungle-covered valleys to snow-capped mountains, alpine lakes, and barren deserts. Because of its massive size, the variations in land and topography in America are truly astonishing. If you are looking for inspiration to spice up your Instagram account, you certainly have plenty of options to choose from.
Below are some of the top Instagrammable destinations across America.
1. New York
There are many reasons why most people would look forward to visiting New York on their trip to America. It's a diverse and dynamic city that's home to some of the most fascinating landmarks in the world. Just by walking along its busy streets, you will come across many interesting things that deserve a spot in your Instagram feed. So if you’re heading to New York, make sure you have your camera handy and be prepared to snap away.
The Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Center is where you can enjoy a bird's-eye view of the city, so this place should be on your NY itinerary. Although it's pretty common to see the Brooklyn Bridge on Instagram, this is where you can snap the most amazing views of the NY skyline. Of course, you will find several other less popular places in the city that offers jaw-dropping photography opportunities to glam up your Instagram account. Check out the Flatiron Building, The Crown at 50 Bowery, East Village Graffiti Walls, and the SOHO neighborhood.
2. Orlando
When you browse through Instagram, there's a good chance that you'll come across a beautiful photo from Orlando.

In fact, Cinderella's Castle in the Magic Kingdom is one of the most popular photos you’ll find on Instagram!
But there's definitely more to Orlando than its beautiful theme parks. Lake Eola, a peaceful lake with a gorgeous fountain in the middle, is an iconic landmark in the city that is believed to be the reason why Orlando is locally named “the City Beautiful.” The ICON Park, with its colorful Ferris Wheel, is a great spot to take that remarkable nighttime post. Check out the Leu Gardens as well, one of Florida's most beautiful botanic gardens.

5. Bryce Canyon
Featuring vast stone pinnacles that look like natural amphitheaters, the Bryce Canyon National Park is not like any other place on Earth! Smaller but taller than the nearby Zion National Park, the Bryce Canyon features otherworldly geological formations carved into an alpine plateau. Given its remarkable beauty, it’s not surprising why this park is known as one of America’s most Instagrammable spots.
The Bryce Canyon would look great at any day, but sunsets and sunrises are the best times to capture its magnificent beauty. It changes colors throughout the day, sometimes turning into a pink hue under the dim light and shadows. Consider going for an overnight camping trip to make the most of your visit. There are also guided hikes, which include a visit to the other nearby parks.
When photographing the Bryce Canyon, try to focus on the viewpoints along the Scenic Drive, and the spots along the rim trail of The Amphitheater. During your hike, look for photo spots along the trail where you could get a close-up view of the stunning stone structures.
