If you need some help planning your summer travels, let our Instagram followers at @ForbesTravelGuide offer some ideas. Below is a list of the most popular travel posts this month. Europe dominated — Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria and Ireland proved to be destinations worthy of a summer getaway.
Topping the heap was Amsterdam, with its vivid colors as seen in the above photo by Saúl Aguilar, or @saaggo. Based in Paris, Aguilar started in photography six years ago by snapping photos of his city’s beautiful Haussmannian architecture and Parisian life. He went on to shoot landscapes and cityscapes along with portraits and fashion. “At the same time, I travel around the world looking for more ‘magic moments’ to photograph and share with the Instagram community,” he says. Check out another one of his magical moments below, a shot of Dublin.
