Share

Quebec is home to two of the top five most photo-worthy destinations in Canada, according to Instagram users – and Old Montreal takes the cake.

The casino comparison site CasinoBonusCA.com conducted an analysis of posts on the photo-sharing app to see how many hashtags were associated with the nation’s top 50 tourist hot spots, and found that Old Montreal topped the list, by far, more than tripling the #2 destination.

Old Montreal had 22.3 million Instagram posts that included its hashtag. In second was Niagara Falls, with 6.3 million posts.

Vieux-Quebec in Quebec City came in fourth with 2.6 million mentions.

"Canada is awash with fantastic tourist destinations that provide amazing photo opportunities, so it’s a testament to Old Montreal’s rich culture and history that it is the most Instagrammable tourist destination in Canada," a spokesperson for CasinoBonusCA.com said in a statement.

"This list will be particularly interesting for people looking for the ideal travel destination for getting those perfect travel photos."
