      10 Top Travel Instagrams From Last Month
      By Forbes Travel Guide Editor Jennifer Kester

      Some Travel Inspiration

      While a fairytale-like Bavarian castle and blue-saturated Santorini made our followers swoon last month on @ForbesTravelGuide, the most popular post was from a little-known area of Portugal.

      The country has a northern wine region called the Douro Valley, which produces port and sensational scenery. Zurich-based photographer Marina Berger (who goes by the handle @marineira) captured the UNESCO World Heritage Site beautifully — it will inspire you to head to the Douro to taste the sweet fortified wine.

      Scroll below to see the winning image and more. And be sure to tag your Instagram photos with #ForbesTravelGuide for the chance to be featured.
