The vibrant city of Jakarta is Instagram stories' most popular location.

Jakarta’s must-visit attractions include the Museum Nasional and Galeri Nasional – not to mention the rooftop bars with their stunning views of the metropolis below.

The city has plenty of highly Instagrammable sights and sounds, but its No. 1 spot might owe a lot to the popularity of the social network in Indonesia. Tech Wire Asia reports that the country is the largest market for the photo-sharing app in the Asia Pacific. Some 45 million Indonesians use Instagram, and they use the story feature twice as much as the average user.

Popular tagged locations in Jakarta include the city’s restaurants and high-rise architecture.

Interestingly, the second-most tagged city is Sao Paulo: another thriving, vibrant metropolis – and foodie haven. Like Jakarta, it’s a teeming city full of people – many of whom are Instagram users. Sao Paulo is renowned for its cultural scene, from its famous Museu de Arte to its Teatro Municipal.
