Sightsmap, Interactive Heatmap of the World’s Top Sightseeing Spots
Fascinating. This map is based on the number of photographs posted of each site on Foursquare (I didn’t know anybody was still doing Foursquare). The top five most photographed places in the world are New York City, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, and Istanbul. ISTANBUL?
Wow, I would totally have missed that last one on a fill-in-the-blank test. I would have guessed London. Or the Pyramids of Giza. Or San Francisco. Or Hawaii. But ISTANBUL?
