Amanda PhillipsImpressive Places to Snap the Perfect Selfie
The ‘selfie stick’ has become somewhat of a staple in the suitcases of many a traveller these days. No matter where you choose to visit there is always plenty of opportunity to get that perfect selfie. On a holiday with Barrhead Travel, we have highlighted some of the best destinations to visit to get that all important picture that will impress your friends forever!
Brooklyn Bridge, New York
The most famous suspension bridge in the world! People flock from countries across the globe to get a selfie on this landmark. Why not walk over it at night, to capture the beauty and buzzing atmosphere of New York from one of the most desired tourist spots in the city?
Big Ben, London
London’s most famous tourist attraction which can be seen for miles and miles across the city. If you are strolling near Hyde Park or are enjoying the sun in Covent Garden, you can’t miss this stunning monument.
Trolltunga, Norway
‘Troll’s Tongue’ as it is otherwise known, is a piece of rock poking out of a mountain about 700 metres above the ground with a spectacular drop into the Ringedalsvatnet Lake below. If you’re brave enough, why not take a ‘jumping selfie’ like most people who visit the rock do… Eeek!
Colosseum, Rome
Visit the world’s most famous amphitheatre and marvel at the place where many a gladiator met their fate, whilst capturing its glory (and you) on your selfie. There’s no better place in the whole of Italy to experience the true essence of this spectacular country than its stunning capital city.
Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Croatia has reinvented itself as a must-visit destination in recent years – and it’s no surprise, considering the beauty of some of its towns and countryside, including Dubrovnik and the stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Great Wall of China, China
Undoubtedly one of the most impressive landmarks ever built by man, a visit here on the Great Wall is one you will never forget. The spectacular views over China mean that we’re sure you’ll be one of many tourists taking a quick pic along this famous trail.
Disneyland, Florida
Disneyland isn’t just for kids! Grab a quick selfie with Mickey and Minnie and you’ll be the hot topic of the day with family and friends back home!
Taj Mahal, India
‘The jewel of the Muslim art in India,’ the Taj Mahal is one of the world’s most celebrated structures and symbolises this country’s rich history. A picture with this stunning, architecturally brilliant structure in the background will be one to talk about years to come.
Maligne Lake, Alberta, Canada
There are so many beautiful parks, lakes and walks in Canada that you’ll be spoilt for choice as to which one capture on camera! We suggest canoeing in the waters of Maligne Lake to take the selfie of all selfies, complete with the majestic backdrop of the mountains behind you.
Eiffel Tower, Paris
A trip to Paris usually means just one thing: a pic with the Eiffel Tower. Whether it be from the bottom or the top, this is one landmark that will never go out of fashion in the selfie stakes!
Burj Khalifa, Dubai
If you’ve always wanted to feel like you are on top of the world, you nearly will be should you decide to visit the mesmerising masterpiece that is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. This is a city so rich in luxury and class that it’s one of the most opulent in the world!
Maya Bay, Thailand
We don’t think that there can be any better beach in the world on which to lie back and relax than this one in Phi Phi. Surrounded by 100 metre high cliffs, lie on the silky soft sand of the beach while gazing out into the gloriously blue seas of the ocean. And don’t forget to take that selfie!
Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa’s most photographed attraction and a definite for this list! Ride a cable car to the top, where you can admire Cape Town in its entirety and take the obligatory selfie too.
Next time you’re planning to visit any of these places, be sure to grab your selfie stick in order to savour that perfect moment forever. Let Barrhead Travel take you all over the world on your ultimate journey of a lifetime!
