13 Places Around the World for a Superb Travel Selfie

Why do you travel? To live a different life for a few days? To experience the world with your own eyes? Or may be even flaunting on Facebook to make your friends jealous! And as today is World Tourism Day, we give you our list of the best places around the world for a gorgeous selfie.  

So pack your bags, give in to that wanderlust and listen up as we take you to the best places around the world. 

#13 By the Tower Bridge, London  

Not just for the iconic bridge, but for the stunning views of River Thames.    

#12 With the 130-feet high statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro

A vertical cog train takes you to the largest Art Deco statue in the world, located atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio. While it’s a must to capture the incredible views from the vantage point, don’t miss clicking a selfie with the Christ statue.

#11 With Disney characters at Disneyland, Florida

This is a must if you are travelling with kids. Picture this: Pluto, Mickey and Donald happily posing for a ‘groupfie' with the kids. Are they not the celebrities in their group of peers already?

#10 Right next to the Colosseum, Rome

History lover or not, the Colosseum never fails to impress anyone. Even though the use of selfie sticks is banned here, you will get some wonderful clicks from an average phone camera as well.

#9 On the slopes of the Great Wall of China 

​Looking for a ‘great’ selfie? Well, the Great Wall of China beckons! Whether it’s the steep slopes of Jinshanling or the winding stretch and watchtowers of Mutianyu, make your trip to the Great Wall memorable by clicking a fun selfie.

#8 At one of the many attractions in Port Campbell National Park, Australia 

When in Australia, head down the coast from Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road. Port Campbell awaits you with the famous Twelve Apostles, London Bridge and Loch Ard Gorge. What’s not to click?

#7 On a full moon night at the Great Rann of Kutch, Gujarat

Awe-inspiring and vast, the white salt desert will steal your heart away. The white salt stretch lasts as far as you can see it, and even beyond. A selfie stick will be a blessing to help you capture the expanse of the Great Rann of Kutch.

#6 In the backdrop of the Grand Canyon, Arizona

From shades of crimson to earthy hues, the Grand Canyon changes colours by the hour. Without doubt, it is one of the most remarkable wonders of nature. Who wouldn’t want a click here?

# 5 From a hot air balloon in Cappadocia, Turkey

Floating among a hundred multi-coloured hot air balloons: check. Peeking into pigeon holes from the skies: check. Taking in the sunrise hues as you float: check. Time for a selfie!

#4 With the Orangutans at Singapore Zoo, Singapore

Ever had breakfast with Orangutans? It’s possible at the Singapore Zoo! As you indulge in exotic delicacies, keep your camera handy too. The Orangutans love to pose.

#3 On your excursion to Pangong Lake, Ladakh  

 

Witness the magic of nature as you plan an excursion from Leh to Pangong Lake. The lake is known to change colours as the sun passes over it through the day. Need I say more?  

#2 In a shark cage at Western Cape, South Africa

Selfies don’t always come easy. There are times when you have to go dive with the sharks, conquer the depths of the ocean (saving that waterproof camera) and come back thousands of feet up before you can show it to the world. Ever thought clicking a selfie could pump up the adrenaline? You know the answer now.

#1 In front of the Eiffel Tower, Paris

Eiffel Tower’s grandeur makes it the most popular selfie spot in the world. Have the front camera of your phone ready as soon as you land in Paris for this iconic structure is not difficult to spot. Here’s a quick tip: if you can’t manage to take the height of the tower with the camera in your hand, go ahead, put the timer on and run to pose! 

How many of these selfie spots can you tick off from your bucket list this year? Would love to hear back from you in the comments section below.
