If exploring the world with a camera in hand is your dream, we at Album di Figurine have everything you need to fuel your passion for discovering some of the most photographed cities in the world. Get ready to capture enchanting picture-postcard views and enjoy one of the most exciting experiences of all: travelling.

Fancy taking a trip with your imagination? Let’s set off together to discover seven of the most Instagrammable places you can fit into your suitcase plans.

1. Paris is magical

The City of Light hardly needs an introduction. In the collective imagination, Paris represents the triumph of romance, love and elegance, so it is no surprise to find it at the top of our list. If we were determined to plan the perfect itinerary to discover all its wonders, even six months of holiday would not be enough. But would a selfie beneath the Eiffel Tower or a photoshoot in the galleries of the Louvre be enough to tempt you into a trip across the border?

One heartfelt piece of advice: if you really want to make the most of this city, take the time to master the right photography techniques and you will start taking better pictures straight away.

2. New York and its one-of-a-kind world

Times Square is perhaps the most photographed square in the world and, along with it, much of New York itself: a dream destination for anyone who has ever dreamed of America. If you love photography, this city is a year-round playground. Have fun playing with the neon lights, visit Central Park covered in autumn foliage, and create unique snowy perspectives.

3. Rome and the charm of la dolce vita

As you stroll through Trastevere, there is not a single alleyway that will leave you unmoved. Rome is a special city where you can lose yourself and give your photographic creativity complete freedom. Next time, look beyond the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain and go in search of the bold, spirited soul of this masterpiece of humanity.

4. Discovering Barcelona

Do you think photos taken along La Rambla during Barcelona’s lively nightlife are more popular, or the dreamlike panoramic shots of the Sagrada Família? It is a challenge right down to the very last shot, but our advice is to enjoy the city with an insatiable appetite for filling your digital camera roll.

5. Istanbul, Gateway to the East

From the Galata Tower to evocative sunset shots where Europe embraces Asia, Istanbul has fascinated travellers from all over the world for centuries. It carries the spirit of two worlds meeting and offers a remarkable experience to anyone in search of pure, adventurous exploration.

In this case more than ever, we recommend brushing up on the art of travel photography if you want to come home with an album you will enjoy looking through again and again from the comfort of your sofa.

6. Along the canals of Venice

So far, our map has been dotted with cities full of personality, yet none can quite compare to Venice: a maze of tiny islands and canals that continues to defy the modern world. Forget taxis and glass skyscrapers, and instead enjoy the unique views from its countless bridges over the water, as well as a ride among the hundreds of boats crossing the Grand Canal.

There is a good reason why we included it among the most photographed cities in the world: you simply will not find anywhere else like it.

7. London in style

Everyone loves photographing Big Ben or the famous double-decker buses, but London is so much more than that. Crime-tinged itineraries worthy of Sherlock Holmes, strolls past some of the most elegant and famous shops in the world, and vast parks where you can enjoy a very British break. London can be whatever you want it to be — above all, your favourite photograph, the one you treasure dreamily under your pillow.

We have reached the end of our short flight, and we would like to remind you that every place in the world holds its own magic, waiting to be discovered, experienced and captured in a photograph. At Album di Figurine, we encourage you never to stop enjoying the adventure of travel and, if you want to frame your most beautiful memories, to print your photos by turning them into personalised adhesive stickers.
