Hey there, it’s Dylan from Europe Incoming, your trusted European DMC, welcoming you back to EI’s Insights—your prime source for all things related to European travel. Today, we’re diving into a game-changer for our industry: Instagram-worthy destinations. As savvy travel pros, we know that crafting shareable experiences is now as crucial as nailing the logistics. So, let’s explore 10 European cities that’ll make your clients’ feeds pop and their followers double-tap with envy. Ready to elevate your itineraries? Let’s go!

1. Rome, Italy:

The Eternal City is a goldmine of photo ops. Sure, the Colosseum and Vatican are classics, but here’s an insider tip: get your clients to the Roman Forum at sunrise. They’ll capture that golden light without the crowds.

2. Paris, France:

Eiffel Tower? Check. But let’s think beyond the iron lady. How about a shot of your clients sipping espresso at a sidewalk café in Montmartre?

3. London, United Kingdom:

Big Ben’s great, but London’s all about mixing old and new. Send your clients on a street art tour in Shoreditch, followed by afternoon tea with a view at The Shard. It’s a perfect blend of grit and glamour.

4. Barcelona, Spain:

Gaudí’s works are Instagram gold, no doubt. But for a real showstopper, suggest sunset at the Bunkers del Carmel. Panoramic city views, a bottle of cava… that’s an Insta-story waiting to happen.

5. Amsterdam, Netherlands:

Canals and bicycles are synonymous with Amsterdam, but don’t overlook the ultra-hip NDSM Wharf. This former shipyard turned cultural hotspot offers a gritty-cool backdrop that screams ‘I know the real Amsterdam.’

6. Prague, Czech Republic:

Prague Castle’s a must, but the real magic happens after dark. Recommend a night photography tour. The Charles Bridge and Old Town Square illuminated? Pure magic.

7. Venice, Italy:

Yes to gondolas, but how about a vibrant shot from Burano? This colorful island is a photographer’s dream. Bonus: it’s less crowded than St. Mark’s Square.

8. Budapest, Hungary:

Thermal baths by day, ruin bars by night. That’s the Budapest experience in a nutshell. Szimpla Kert isn’t just a bar; it’s a backdrop. Your clients’ followers won’t know what hit them.

9. Santorini, Greece:

White-washed buildings and blue domes are classic, but suggest a sailing trip around the caldera. The island views from the sea? Absolutely stunning and refreshingly different.

10. Dubrovnik, Croatia:

Game of Thrones put it on the map, but Dubrovnik’s beauty goes beyond King’s Landing. Recommend a sunset kayak tour around the city walls. Crystal-clear waters, ancient stonework, golden light – need we say more?

There you have it – a whirlwind tour of Europe’s most ‘grammable cities. But here’s the thing: the best photos, the ones that really resonate, aren’t just about pretty backgrounds. They’re about the joy of discovery, the thrill of new experiences, the stories behind the smiles.

Until we meet again with more travel tips, keep discovering and stay smart. This is Dylan from Europe Incoming, saying goodbye. Safe travels and see you soon!

We have been customers for almost 15 years, maybe more, and we remain loyal for all these reasons.
