There are plenty of places in the world that are so magical in the wintertime that you want to take photos everywhere you turn. But there’s only one that ranks the highest in the world, according to research by laser eye-surgery clinic Focus Clinic: Bern, the capital of Switzerland.
[post_ads]To crown this capital the most “Instagrammable” in the world, Focus Clinic pulled together the data on how many times various cities have been tagged on Instagram alongside scenic winter photos.

It’s also a very old and very German city, so walking through the holiday shops in the town square, holding a little cup of mulled wine in one hand and a delectable Swiss pastry in the other while you stroll past all of the little stone houses with smoke swirling out of the chimneys, amid the chiming of the clock tower, makes you feel like you’re in a Christmas cartoon set around 1885.
The food, which tends to consist of hearty game meat fit for a ye olde tavern, is also infinitely Insta-worthy.
