Whether you hit the open road to reunite with family, jetted off to a tropical locale for sun and sand or stayed at home and scrolled through Instagram to find ideas for faraway jaunts, travel was different for everyone last year.
We scoured our feed at @ForbesTravelGuide and collected the most liked photos and most viewed videos of 2021 to find the places that kept our followers dreaming of their next getaway.
Marta Heine-Geldern, the travel photographer behind @voyage_provocateur, shot our most popular post. It’s a glimpse of snowy Strasbourg, France, during the holiday season. The city, which calls itself the Capital of Christmas, offers buildings festooned with festive décor, one of Europe’s oldest Christmas markets and a nearly 100-foot tree — one of the tallest natural Christmas trees in Europe — in Place Kléber.
Below, see posts showcasing everywhere from Puerto Rico to Paris that set off our followers’ wanderlust last year. And for a chance to be featured on our feed, share your travel photos and videos with us by adding the hashtag #ForbesTravelGuide to your own Instagram captions.
