Based on my research, here are the best travel hashtags for Instagram along with how and when to use them.

Instagram is one of the best social media platforms for sharing photos while traveling. Hashtags help each of your photos to be seen.

I am not an Instagram expert by any means, but I am trying to use it more effectively while uploading my travel pics on Instagram.

Best Travel Hashtags:

1. Hashtag Your Destination

First and foremost, your followers definitely want to know where you are! I used #Delhi during my weekend trip and found that I received likes from the people that lived or want to travel to Delhi. Other examples include:

You get the picture. Or, break it down by region. If you happen to be in Hong Kong, you could use #asia #china #hongkong, for example.

Go to the Instagram search box and type in the city you are visiting. Popular hashtags other people in the city are using will show for your reference.

 

2. Hashtag What’s Around You
