At least, according to Instagram.

When it comes to proposing, managing to find the perfect location is at the top of the ‘to do’ list.

After, of course, getting the ring.

Sometimes that means a more intimate setting, like a cosy night in at home (à la Meghan and Harry). Other times, that means going all out and going on an ‘engagement trip’ to get to the perfect destination.

Well, if you’re thinking of heading abroad to pop the question (or are simply dreaming of your dream proposal), you’ve come to the right place.

Celebrity Cruises analysed more than a million Instagram posts from over the last year, which included the hashtags #shesaidyes, #hesaidyes, #isaidyes and #proposal – all in an effort to find out where the most popular proposal locations are.

Eventually, they narrowed it down to a list of 16 places throughout the globe, according to Brides.

The most popular place is Central Park, with 1,789 engagement posts on Instagram, with some very familiar sights making the list.

Although some of them are pretty far for a weekend break away…
