I have often wondered, what landmarks and attractions are the most photographed on Earth?

Have I seen any of them? If you count our bright, beautiful Sun on the list then sure, I think we’ve all photographed one of the world’s most popular sights as it rises and sets above the horizon.

But after that, what other places lay claim to ‘most photographed’ something or other? Ahhh, after scouring the Internet and some great tourism websites I have put together this comprehensive list.

Have any additions? What is the most photographed landmark in your country? Let me know and I`ll keep growing this list.
