Numerous places have been in the news lately for banning selfie sticks. Other stories hitting the headlines are about people taking selfies and dying in strange and peculiar circumstances. 

Now, Attractiontix.co.uk has released a list of current hot spots for those who are truly addicted to photographic self-portraiture. The UK-based ticket booking site analysed 219 million Instagram posts tagged ‘selfie’ from October 2010 to January 2015 and produced the following list.

Only those posts that mentioned the specific name of the attraction being used as a backdrop were used for the list.
