Happiest place on earth? More like most ‘grammable place on earth: According to newly released statistics from Instagram, Disneyland is the most Instagrammed location of 2017.

In fact, it was a good year for Disney properties—Tokyo Disneyland, Orlando’s Magic Kingdom, and Anaheim’s Disney California Adventure Park all made the top 10. Guess everyone everywhere can’t get enough Mickey Mouse.

The other big winner of 2017 was New York City: Times Square, the big city spot that’s a must-see for tourists and a must-avoid for native New Yorkers, took the number two spot, with Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge coming in at three and eight, respectively.

Other popular locations include the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre in Paris, and the Las Vegas Strip.

So, if you’re like Ariel and “wanna be where the people are,” there’s your travel list. But, if you prefer to populate your feed with fresh, less obvious but still picturesque content, there are plenty of beautiful places to visit that are also beautifully under the radar.

Aarhus, Denmark, for example, has all the color of Copenhagen—but without the crowds. Or Edinburgh, Scotland, the Scottish capital where medieval architecture is a Leica’s dream, and the sites aren’t as played out as Paris’s or London’s. If you’re really up for a bright lights adventure, skip the Strip and go instead to Macau, China’s gambling capital with more than a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants, multiple five-star properties, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sounds pretty picture perfect.
