Where Local Guides shared the most photos in 2018

Local Guides photograph amazing scenes from around the world and share their experiences on Google Maps. Whether they’re capturing landmarks in major cities or shooting great food in areas off the beaten path, Local Guides help guide others to explore new places through their photography.

 

As we wrap up 2018, we wanted to share the top cities in the top countries where Local Guides shared the most photos on Google Maps this year. Discover them below along with some of our favorite images from each city.

Re: Where Local Guides shared the most photos in 2018

Hello @Christina-NYC,

Thank you for your great yearly summary. I wish my city will be in the list next year. Local guides are very dedicated all over the world, which makes the map helpful and more informative than ever. I am glad that, I am also a Local Guide, though my contributions are minor. I believe that, a small contribution in Google Map can impact in a large scale.

Thanks to all local guides for their willing mind.

@Christina-NYC,

 

Thanks for sharing such beautiful photos. I believe every photo has a story to tell. 

 

I would like to share a photo of "The Taj Mahal" in Agra, a small city but famous place all over the world. The monument is a symbol of love created by Shah Jahan for his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. I spent about 2 hours and clicked few memorable photos which I would like to share with you all.
