(KRON) — A new list of America’s most beautiful cities has been released, and our City by the Bay has made the cut, according to a new study.
Travel website Booking.com analyzed a mix of popular Instagram hashtags to find out which city has the most photos taken per square mile. But which California cities are on the list?
San Francisco was the highest-ranked California city, taking seventh place nationally with an average of 1,039 photos per square mile. The survey attributes the ranking to the scenic and seaside beauty of San Francisco. The iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the beautiful hills that run through the Bay Area certainly don’t hurt.
Another California city made the cut, averaging 1,019 photos per square mile: Sacramento. The state capital is surrounded by two rivers, the Sacramento River and the American River, and both rivers offer stunning scenery. One cannot forget the beautiful architecture present in the city, including some structures built before the gold rush.
