Were these the most-visited places, the ones with the best wi-fi/cell phone coverage, or just the ones people wanted to brag about the most? Social media giant Facebook recently released their list of the top 20 places the site’s users checked in to in 2015, and it’s a pretty diverse list:
- Disney Properties
- Universal Studios Properties
- Times Square, New York City
- Eiffel Tower
- Niagara Falls
- Siam Paragon
- Grand Canyon National Park
- Yosemite National Park
- The Louvre
- Central Park
- Beto Carrero World
- Warner Bros. Studio Tour London
- Gardens by the Bay
- Marina Bay Sands
- Ibirapuera Park
- Hollywood Walk of Fame
- Madison Square Park
- Santa Monica Pier
- Camp Nou
- Expo Milano 2015
We’re not surprised by all of the check-ins at commercial places like Disney and Siam Paragon (Thailand’s largest mall), but didn’t expect to see so many natural wonders, like the Grand Canyon on there. Are most people really on Facebook while they’re out enjoying nature?
Did you check in at any of these places in 2015?
