The most beautiful cities to visit by night

As the shorter days are well and truly upon us Premier Inn has researched over 250 of the most populated cities in the world on Instagram to reveal the places that are being photographed the most by night.

The number of hashtags for #citybynight were counted and compared for cities in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia.

When looking at the most popular night-time cities across the globe, it’s the city of love that emerges as favourite amongst users of the social media platform, with over 1,000,000 hashtags for pictures of Paris by night. Following Paris is London, followed by Athens, Rome and Warsaw.

Top 20 most popular night-time cities around the world

Top global cities Country/region No. of hashtags
Paris France 1,000,000
London United Kingdom 231,000
Athens Greece 182,000
Rome Italy 174,000
Warsaw Poland 160,000
Budapest Hungary 98,600
Dubai United Arab Emirates 71,500
Lyon France 66,500
Toulouse France 63,700
Berlin Germany 63,200
Bordeaux France 52,400
Amsterdam Netherlands 51,500
New York City USA 50,000
Florence Italy 46,200
Marseille France 44,700
Bologna Italy 43,000
Tokyo Japan 42,700
Turin Italy 40,800
Lisbon Portugal 35,800
Milan Italy 35,500

Europe proved extremely popular with lovers of night-time exploring, with a whopping 18 of the top 20 cities being located in the continent. In particular, it was France which was the most popular country to explore after dark, with five cities featuring in the top 20 most popular cities: Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Marseille.

Known as the gateway to Morocco, it was Casablanca that ranked as the most beautiful city at night in Africa, with 25,800 hashtags – considerably more hashtags than any other African city analysed, and narrowly missing the top 20 rankings.

Dubai typically sees between 8 to 10 hours of sunshine a day, however, the popular tourist destination based in the UAE ranked as the most beautiful city to visit at night in Asia, with 71,500 hashtags. Dubai and Tokyo also made the top 20 global cities with the most night-time hashtags.

Only one city in the USA made the top 20 global cities with the most night-time pictures – with New York ranking in 14th position with over 50,000 hashtags.
