Atlantic City is among the top hashtagged U.S. tourist destinations on Instagram, ranking above the Space Needle, Washington Monument, and even Philly’s crown jewel of tourism, the Liberty Bell, according to a new ranking from TravelBird.
The Amsterdam-based travel deal site pulled location data from from typical hashtags to rank the 100 most hashtagged places in the U.S., and Philadelphia doesn’t make an appearance until No. 47, with the Liberty Bell.
Far outranking any Philly site is Atlantic City, with a reported 1,301,411 tags, ranking it No. 13 nationally.
Ranking highest on the ‘gram’s U.S. destinations is Disneyland, with 14.6 million tags (also the highest ranked destination worldwide), followed by Disney World with 5.5 million. In fact, Disneyland is so far and away the most tagged destination on Earth, the second most tagged location – The Eiffel Tower – has just about half of the amount of tags, at 7.25 million.
Worldwide, the Liberty Bell fails to crack the top 100 destinations, coming in at No. 102 with 87,107 tags.
The only other Pennsylvania destination listed is Hershey Park, coming in at No. 38 nationally and No. 82 globally. Check the full rankings here.
