With the looming presence social media has over the built environment, iconic buildings have never been easier to track down, especially as platforms like Instagram make high-profile architecture accessible at the press of a button. 

Dublin Airport Central recently conducted a study to understand where five of the most instagrammed skyscrapers rank against their related hashtags. 

According to Dublin Airport Central, despite no longer being the tallest building in the world, the Empire State Building is the most instagrammed skyscraper in the world. If those individually tagged posts are printed out as physical Polaroid photos and stacked one on top of the other, according to the source, the height of all the “hashtagged” photos of the Empire State Building easily towers over the skyscraper itself. 

The Burj Khalifa, on the other hand, is the second most instagrammed building in the world; but despite being only built in 2010, according to the study, it is quickly gaining on the Empire State Building.
