The 10 cities with the most Instagrammed sunrises
There’s nothing quite like pausing and taking in the sunrise. Busy commutes and early morning exhaustion mean that we often overlook daybreak, but it’s always worth it to enjoy the beauty of nature before starting your day.
While beautiful sunrises are a truly universal pleasure, for travelers they can also provide an opportunity to show off their experiences in a new locale. A recent analysis by the influencer marketing platform Heepsy ranked the locations where sunrises are the most Instagrammed.

The Heepsy analysis used several factors to determine which cities were likely candidates for the rankings, including the number of sunrise-related Instagram (META) hashtags, average annual sunshine hours, the Air Quality Index (AQI), tourist arrivals, and popular sunrise spots.
