The 107 BEST Travel Instagram Captions (2024 List)

city travel instagram captions

Picture yourself at the top of a mountain. A mountain you’ve traveled long and far to get to. The journey was challenging. But now, with the breathtaking horizon before you, it was all worth it. You snap (what you believe) are some of the best pictures of your life and call it a day.

Once back at your hotel room, you post your shots on Instagram and wait for lots of likes, comments, and engagement… However, these never arrive.

You get 1 or 2 dry likes from your mother and significant other – people who always seem to like everything you post.

Disappointed, you throw your phone on the bed, thinking, “people out there simply have no taste”.

BUT… what if the key to getting real Instagram engagement lies not just in the photo – but in combining great photos AND captions?

In this article, I’ll share the best travel Instagram captions you can use. These are based on years of experience my team and I have in building my Instagram profile to 100K+ followers. Through this process, I understand what works (and doesn’t).

What Makes Great Travel Instagram Captions?

It used to be that posting cool travel pictures on Instagram was enough. People would enjoy the content, like and comment, and sometimes… even share.

That is (usually) no longer the case.

Great travel Instagram captions alongside great photos and videos are now a must-have.

However, not just any Instagram caption will cut it. You need the right “Nomadic Narratives” to take your content to the next level.

Here are the best tips and tricks for creating these types of narratives.

Using Emojis Effectively

Nomadic Narratives rely on emojis to bring out the emotions.

Emojis can transform multiple words and phrases and boil them down to a single symbol. This symbol represents your best feelings as you explore new countries and touch down in different destinations.

However, a word of warning.

Do not go overboard with emojis. Too many and you’ll lose people. If your viewers need to take time to figure out what you’re saying, chances are you’ve gone overboard.

The right dosage of emojis is the first key to building Nomadic Narratives.

Leveraging Trending Topics

Nomadic Narratives are all about trending topics. These topics grab people’s interest and, most importantly, cause them to stop scrolling their Instagram feeds.

The question then becomes, “what does a trending topic look like?”

The short answer is that it’s a popular topic that’s talked about by a large group of people.

This could be a new destination opening up, the start of the summer travel season, or even a specific food that locals have just discovered.

What’s important is that you find a way to combine your images and videos with the trending topic in your caption.

After all, you want your Nomadic Narratives to be relevant to your content.

Here’s a quick example.

Let’s take the “start of summer” as a trending topic. If you’re posting a picture of yourself at the beach, you could have a caption that says:

Kicking off summer with some sun, sand and sea! 🌴 #NomadicNarratives #SummerStartsNow

The best way to stay on top of this is to watch out for current events and then use them as inspiration.

Incorporating Storytelling Elements

The ‘narrative’ part in Nomadic Narratives isn’t there by accident.

People use stories to share their experiences with others. Traveling is no different.

Your Instagram followers want to know the juicy details about your trip:

  • Did the trip go according to plan?
  • What were any unexpected incidents?
  • How did you deal with them?
  • What did you learn from them?
  • How will you plan better next time?

Addressing the above questions in the form of a story is critical. This applies to any type of content you create online. Nomadic Narratives are no different.

You can also consider the 5W’s and 1H or narrative. The 5Ws are Who, What, Where, When, and Why. The 1H is How.

Using as many of these elements means you’ll make your content more engaging and relatable for your audience.

Tailoring Your Nomadic Narratives To Fit Your Audience

coming up with great Nomadic Narratives for your adventures

Finally, consider that your Nomadic Narratives are specific to your audience. There’s no point in having specialized captions that your audience can’t relate to.

Here’s an example scenario:

  • you’re a travel agent
  • catering to middle-aged people
  • your audience wants to book a once-in-a-lifetime cruise around the Mediterranean.

Quite a specific target audience.

In this case, you can’t have Nomadic Narratives that say: “Hey, budget travelers, get ready for your backpacking adventure!”

This would not resonate with your audience (at all).

Instead, you want to have narratives like:

“Indulge in luxury travel with our exclusive cruise packages. Experience the world like never before with our top-notch amenities and personalized service.”

This shows you understand your audience’s wants and needs and can satisfy them.

This concept also applies to personal Instagram accounts. If you’re a 20-year-old traveling solo for the first time (and your audience resonates with this), don’t use captions that don’t align with your target audience.

A great caption might be:

Exploring the world one destination at a time on a shoestring budget! #travelonabudget

On the other hand, a bad one might be:

Jet-setting around the world in first class, living my best life. #blessed

There’s an obvious disconnect in the second example.

Writing travel Instagram captions to capture people’s emotions is a must.

Done right (in this world of endless scrolling), your captions take your followers on an amazing journey.

Combining captions from the right travel category above and using the Nomadic Narrative tips I gave you, you’ll be able to write compelling captions that leave your audience wanting more.

105 Vacation Captions for Your Next Travel-inspired Instagram Post

Enhance your best travel photos with these clever quotes and funny lines — perfect for any destination.

Since 1971, Travel + Leisure editors have followed one mission: to inform, inspire, and guide travelers to have deeper, more meaningful experiences. T+L's editors have traveled to countries all over the world, having flown, sailed, road tripped, and taken the train countless miles. They've visited small towns and big cities, hidden gems and popular destinations, beaches and mountains, and everything in between. With a breadth of knowledge about destinations around the globe, air travel, cruises, hotels, food and drinks, outdoor adventure, and more, they are able to take their real-world experience and provide readers with tried-and-tested trip ideas, in-depth intel, and inspiration at every point of a journey.

In the age of social media, there's a lot of pressure to be a wordsmith and create the perfect eye-catching travel post in real time. You've already got the breathtaking photos for Instagram; now you just need a suitable caption to wrap up your experiences.

Crafting your posts might even detract from being in the moment. To avoid this, instead of uploading photos throughout the day, try doing it before bed — or even as a post-vacation roundup. Keep the apps closed while you're enjoying an experience and turn off notifications to minimize distractions. Remember to use ethical posting practices, like avoiding geotags that could harm a destination or its locals — both people and wildlife.

With great photos and travel-inspired quotes and one-liners at the ready, every traveler can share witty posts — no matter the destination. Below, get some inspiration or borrow one of these vacation captions for Instagram.

Long and Poetic Travel Captions

This collection of travel captions is perfect for when you’re feeling a little extra nostalgic and a short witty Instagram caption just doesn’t fit the bill. These travel Instagram captions are mainly about the importance of making travel happen and the transformation one goes through when you dive head first into a great adventure.

1.   “I urge you to travel. As far and as much as possible. Work ridiculous shifts to save your money.  Go without the latest iPhone. Throw yourself out of your comfort zone.  Find out how other people live and realize that the world is a much bigger place than the town you live in. And when you come home, home may still be the same. Yes, you may go back to the same old job, but something in your mind will have changed. And trust me, that changes everything.”  – Victoria Egerer

2.   “I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses.”  – Bill Bryson

Caption for Instagram by Victoria Egerer

3.   “My confession is I fall in love with so many places I’m always half broken-hearted by goodbyes. And I don’t believe in non-attachment. There’s no passion inside of that. I believe in burning, and longing. And I believe we leave tiny pieces of ourselves in every place we’ve loved.”  – Victoria Erickson

4.   “Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” – Mark Jenkins

5.  “Although I do love oceans, deserts, and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with the sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. They keep me continuously wanting to know more, feel more, see more. To become more.”  – Victoria Erickson

6.  “This is why once you’ve traveled for the first time all you want to do is leave again. They call it the travel bug, but really it’s the effort to return to a place where you are surrounded by people who speak the same language as you. Not English or Spanish or Mandarin or Portuguese. But the language where others know what i’s like to leave, change, grow, experience, learn. Then go home again and feel more lost in your hometown than you did in the most foreign place you visited. This is the hardest part about traveling, and it’s the very reason why we all run away again.” – Unknown

Poetry about travel by EKP

7.   “Travel. Make Memories. Have Adventures. Because I guarantee that when you’re 85 and on your death bed you won’t think about that flashy car you bought, or the twenty pairs of designer shoes you owned. But you will think about that time you got lost in your favorite city. The nights you spent falling in love under the stars and all the beautiful people you met along the way. You’ll think of the moments that made you feel truly alive. And at the very end, those memories will be the only valuable possessions you own.”  – EKP

8.  “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” ―Anthony Bourdain

9.   “Traveling messes you up, but in all the good ways. It leaves you always craving more, an addiction that can never quite be met. Every place, every trip, every person is a new adventure; pulling you deeper into the love of wanderlust. Your heart begins to hurt when you’re standing still, and your mind begins to itch over the idea of new places you haven’t been. Fill your soul with adventure and traveling and you will live a fulfilled life.” – Unknown

10.   “The best part about airports lies in what they symbolize. Airports are places of bookends: new beginnings and long-awaited endings, arrivals and departures, hellos and goodbyes. We start in one city to end in another hundreds or thousands of miles away. You enter from a desert and exit into a blizzard. In from winter, out into summer. In from familiarity, out into something completely foreign. Or vice versa. An airport is a place of transit, and not just geographically. I wish there was some sort of time-lapse to show how people change between departures and arrivals. When I arrive back home from being away, I’m never the same person as when I left.” – Unknown

Short Travel Captions

Whether you’re searching for travel inspiration or a witty Instagram caption, there’s something here for everyone. I included a nice mix of short travel captions meant to motivate and inspire, as well as a quotes for the solo traveler, adventurer, and avid road tripper .

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain

“Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.” — Ernest Hemingway

“To travel is worth any cost or sacrifice.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

“We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfilment.” – Hilaire Belloc

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien​​

“I never knew of a morning in Africa, when I woke up and was not happy” –  Ernest Hemingway

“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” – Jack Kerouac

“Travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.” – Seneca

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, we can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” –  Maya Angelou

“You need not even listen, just wait…the world will offer itself freely to you, unmasking itself.” — Franz Kafka

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less travelled by.” — Robert Frost

“There are no foreign lands, it is the traveller only who is foreign.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” — Oscar Wilde

“Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.” –  Michael Palin

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” — T.S. Eliot

“The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveller.” — Franz Kafka

“The mind was dreaming. The world was its dream.” — Jorge Luis Borges

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” — Bill Bryson

“I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with different points of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” — Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

“Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.” — Viktor E. Frankl

The Underrated Irish City You Should Have On Your Radar

a four poster bed in a highly decorated room

Belfast : city of riveters, inventors, linen mill girls, boxers, pamphleteers, revolutionaries, Lambeg drummers, Irish bagpipers, mission hall preachers, and mustachioed burghers with pocket watches. Some of these can still be seen, here and there, usually in ghostly form. Now you are more likely to find cocktail creators, urban farmers , NGO officials, tech specialists, muralists, political tour guides, ravers, and Irish-language teachers.

The city takes its name from the Irish Béal, or mouth, and Feirste, referring to the confluence of the rivers Farset and Lagan, which flow into Belfast Lough and out into the Irish Sea . It’s flat like a coin. Intensely green hills rise around it. One of them, Cavehill, is said to have appeared as a recumbent giant to Jonathan Swift.

Belfast boomed spectacularly in the 19th century. Great fortunes were made from linen spinning, distilling, printing, rope making, and shipbuilding. Its face was inclined to be dour and imposing, a Victorian riposte to rose-bricked, frivolous, Georgian Dublin . Tight neighborhoods of half doors, street songs, and factory horns grew roots around mills and shipyards: Sailortown, Tiger’s Bay, Sandy Row, The Hammer, the Pound Loney, the Kashmir. Consonant-rich words such as gurn, glyp, stumer, and skite were coined. It might be like any number of British industrial cities, except that it is on a different island and experienced 30 years of violent conflict.

The front façade of Belfast City Hall.

I first saw it in 1982. It was a monochrome scene. The center was caged and checkpointed. Shops were bombsites, and pods of soldiers moved along the Falls Road with rifles. Watchtowers loomed. Saracens sped. Helicopters panted above. The Europa had the distinction of being the most bombed hotel in Europe. Tourism was minimal to nonexistent. A taxi driver in a battered Ford Cortina hopefully handed me his card: “Tours – Scenic and Political.”

Then, in 1998, came the Good Friday Agreement. The British Army stepped back and eventually left. Loyalists and the IRA ceased their campaigns. Union Jacks and Irish tricolors were waved. Van Morrison sang, “My mama told me there’ll be days like this.” The city seemed to exhale collectively, to begin to talk more openly, to be curious about those it had shunned, like a family—suddenly relieved of a rancorous secret.

I’ve been to Belfast many times, but always fleetingly. I came back for the Agreement’s 25th anniversary, over bright early April days, in the role of a tourist. It surprised me. Many presuppositions were upended. I hadn’t expected the abundance of music, the sumptuousness and originality of the hotels, the cross-community meetings of minds. I hadn’t known about the narrow laneways of the Cathedral Quarter, with their allusive, witty, and movingly beautiful murals; tanneries and printing works; little bars and world-class restaurants smartly fashioned from whiskey storerooms. It feels like London ’s Shoreditch, Edinburgh 's West End, or Dublin’s Temple Bar before the invasions. Block by block, the city is reclaiming itself from dereliction.

Much of this is being done by Irish entrepreneurs—variations of their Victorian forebears but without the pocket watches. Bill Wolsey, owner of The Merchant Hotel, Belfast’s most splendid stay, also has four engaging pubs and a hip hotel, Bullitt , with an elevator which announces its floors not with a robotic GPS voice but with the Belfastian, “This is the second floor, so it is.” Willie Jack has the legendary Duke of York, along with three other bars in the vicinity and a private whiskey museum . He prefers the old name of Half Bap to the Cathedral Quarter, calls himself a street cleaner and barman, and wants to cover the walls of the city with art.

Anthony Kieran, who was nearly blown to pieces in South Armagh, came back from the US when the Good Friday Agreement was signed, sold used cars, and, with the money he made, turned a derelict terrace into the exquisite apartment hotel The Regency. Melanie Harrison likewise returned from elsewhere to open The Harrison Chambers of Distinction, a cornucopia of irreverent art, literature, and communal chat.

This is an entrepreneurialism untainted by the boardroom or design studio. It is local, individualistic, committed, and often, witty. From Féile an Phobail (the West Belfast Festival) in the Falls to Banana Block, with its raves and mushroom-growing, in the east, there’s the sense of a city discovering itself in a new reality. The conflict was a strain and left grief, but it is also stitched into this awakening. You can have a very good and very unusual time here. A taxi driver enthused to me about what a great place it is to raise children .

Where to stay

The Merchant Hotel , which was restored from an Ulster Bank building, stands out for its opulence and attention to detail. Comprising art deco and Victorian wings, it’s a world in itself, with three restaurants, a cocktail bar, a hot tub on the roof, and Bert’s Jazz Bar. At The Regency House , Anthony Kieran and his wife, Andrea, have created five beautiful residences full of surprising personal touches (a vinyl collection, musical instruments, etc.), with a concierge service. Eight new suites, a wellness center, and a members’ club are due to open later this fall.

The luxurious and serene Culloden Estate and Spa sits in 12 acres surrounding a converted bishop’s palace on the shores of Belfast Lough. The Harrison Chambers of Distinction , an act of flamboyant self-expression by owner Melanie Harrison, is possibly the most entertaining hotel I’ve stayed in. Each room is different and named after an Irish writer, artist, or musician. The talk flows, and Harrison’s presence is inimitable.

Where to eat

Belfast once featured the chip butty and the Ulster fry, which included sausages known locally as “mystery bags”. Now it has a San Sebastian-like density of Michelin-starred restaurants. One is the very fine and popular Ox, set on the River Lagan and created by Breton restaurateur Alain Kerloc’h and Irish chef Stephen Toman. In the Cathedral Quarter is Niall McKenna’s Waterman House, which has its own cooking school, and the much-lauded Muddlers Club, established by Gareth McCaughey from County Tyrone and named after a secret society within the 18th-century United Irishmen movement. Michael Deane, who earned his first Michelin star in 1997 and has several restaurants, including Deanes Love Fish and Deanes Meat Locker, is perhaps the dominating force in Belfast fine dining.

I’ve always had a great time at Mourne Seafood Bar, and—though I could only stop for oysters with shallot and apple dressing at Danny Millar’s Stock Kitchen and Bar—several people I spoke with nominated it as their favorite spot. The set menus at Blank, near Queen’s University, are a rich journey of Northern Irish provenance, Tyrone oxtail and all. Political tourists might find it interesting to have lunch at Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich, an Irish-language gallery, bookshop, and performance venue in a decommissioned Protestant church in the Falls Road, or the Felons Club, set up by Republican ex-prisoners in an old Methodist meeting house.

Where to drink

As well as The Duke of York, Willie Jack owns The Harp Bar and The Dark Horse nearby. Don’t miss the murals in the latter’s courtyard: no Irish personage is spared the satirical lash. Maddens is the premier pub for traditional Irish music; the Sunflower has nightly live bands and retains its redundant security cage around the front door as an example of postmodern political wit. Kelly’s Cellars, dating from 1720, is always vibrant. I find The Spaniard, just across the road from The Merchant Hotel, an intimate and intriguing pub; The Crown Liquor Saloon, with its snugs and mosaics, is globally famous; and Bullhouse East and Boundary Brewing are among the best of the city’s many microbreweries.

The most surprising and memorable thing I did on my last trip to Belfast, along with seeing Van Morrison at the Ulster Hall, was to enter the Irish Sea near dawn at Helen’s Bay under the tutelage of Ciaran May from Natural Resilience—an utterly invigorating small parable of moving through things one normally resists. The Maritime Mile offers a number of nautical and shipbuilding-related experiences, the main one being Titanic Belfast , a museum devoted to the fated liner, with a tear-jerking ending involving a single glass-encased violin. Down at the end, in an old pumphouse, is Titanic Distillers, the creation of a former bus driver from Short Strand named Peter Lavery, who won the lottery, and, instead of blowing it in Las Vegas , did something traditional and enhancing for his city. You can have lunch at the old shipyard Drawing Office in what is now the Titanic Hotel.

Concierge William McIlroy gives excellent tours. The political tourism tentatively offered to me by that taxi driver decades ago is now a thriving industry, often operated by ex-prisoners. Visitors see not only the recent history of political struggle in the last war zone of Western Europe, but a still-evolving story. Visit West Belfast offers great walking, bus, and taxi tours, and I had two outstanding Blue Badge guides in Touring Around Belfast’s Billy Scott and Dee Morgan of DeeTours Ireland—both entertaining storytellers. They gave rich context to the Crumlin Road Gaol museum and the peace walls; the Milltown cemetery and hunger strikers’ graves; the Irish Republican History Museum in Conway Mill; and the murals in the Shankill and Falls roads.

Caitlin Clark opened up about some “fun” moments from her historic Saturday.

“Fun was had with the girls,” she said in a caption on a series of photos on her Instagram after becoming the first WNBA rookie to record a triple-double , which will increase her odds for the league’s Rookie of the Year award.

She accomplished the historic feat during a thrilling 83-78 upset win over the league-leading Liberty on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where she had 19 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds.

Clark shared several photos that captured her smiling during postgame press coverage along with action shots of her big afternoon.

The 22-year-old also posted a shot with teammate Katie Lou Samuelson on the court and a photo of her signing jerseys, basketballs, posters and signs while meeting young fans.

“I am enchanted to meet #22,” one of the signs read.

Clark came close to the triple-double feat last week, falling just short of one rebound against the Mercury in the 88-82 Fever victory last Sunday, but nabbed it in the fourth quarter against the Liberty on Saturday.

“Obviously, it’s really cool,” Clark told reporters Saturday. “My teammates have been finishing the ball really, really at a high rate. My assist numbers, that’s because of them.”

Outside of the record, there was certainly some fun had over getting the better of the league’s best team while increasing the Fever’s playoff odds.

If the 40-game season would to end today, the Fever (9-13) would hold the final playoff spot at No. 8 in the league.

The win over New York put them over the Dream (7-12) by 1/2 a game.

The team has greatly improved since starting out 2-9 as it got its feet under them with Clark, the No. 1 pick in the draft.

“Caitlin with a triple-double, my gosh, that’s incredible,” Fever coach Christie Side said following the latest win. “Holding New York to 16 points in the fourth quarter, that’s huge for us. That’s the No. 1 team in the league.”
