Traveling the globe means experiencing brilliant locations, delicious food, and meeting new people. And while souvenirs and postcards are great, there’s no better way to say “Wish you were here!” than with a selfie of you enjoying the sites. Although places like New York City museums and Walt Disney World have banned the use of “Selfie Sticks” – those useful, yet often hated, devices that allow you to take pictures beyond your own arm length – there are plenty of other places where they are acceptable. And there’s certainly no lack of other accessories and smartphone attachments to help enhance the lighting or background to ensure you get the perfect picture every time.
That’s right, selfie mania isn’t going anywhere any time soon and nearly every platform of social media embraces those who love to take pictures of themselves with encouraging likes, loves, and comments. Although a selfie can be taken anywhere from the bathroom to the edge of the Grand Canyon, some places are certainly more impressive than others.
The following are a few of the Top Global Selfie Sites for you to consider. Of course, we couldn’t help but include some of our all over print apparel to wear when choosing your next photo op!
Eiffel Tower, Paris
Known as La Tour Eiffel to the French, this magnificent tower is one of the world’s most well-known landmarks. Originally designed as the centerpiece for the 1889 World’s Fair hosted in Paris, it was constructed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Since opening, it has welcomed over 250 million visitors and continues to welcome nearly seven million visitors every year.

Walt Disney World, Florida
Who wouldn’t want to take a selfie at “The Happiest Spot on Earth?” Full of fun for children and adults alike, this vacation destination is forever a favorite. With Kodak being one of the biggest sponsors of Walt Disney World, you can even find signs noting when a location is the “Perfect Picture Spot.” Cinderella’s Castle, Spaceship Earth, and the Tower of Terror are all great spots for the ultimate selfie. Wear this tank to keep cool and look it, too! Greetings from Florida – The Land of Sunshine Women’s Tank Top. This tank says it all, so you can skip the expensive souvenirs and overpriced gift shops.
Big Ben, London
Located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock. Big Ben refers to both the clock and the clock tower. Designed in neo-gothic style by Augustus Pugin, when it was completed in 1859, it was the largest and most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world. Standing at 315 feet tall, if you want to take a selfie at the top, you’ll have to climb 334 steps to the top. Worth it, right? Big Ben London Double Decker Bus Men’s Long Sleeve tee will help you stay warm on those overcast and cool days. It’s the perfect apparel for your trip to London and makes for a great selfie tee!
Keukenhof, The Netherlands
Home to nearly 7 million flower bulbs spread over a stunning 79 acres, “The Kitchen Garden” is known as the Garden of Europe. Many photographers come to this garden in Lisse with hopes of staging Vincent van Gogh’s famous portrait, the Gardens. With so many gorgeous flowers in bloom it can be tough to decide where to take your own picture. Luckily, there’s a “selfie garden” complete with mirrors and frames to help you out. This is one destination you don’t want to miss! Tulips are found in the garden and on this all over print t-shirt. Wear Shelties Among Tulips Men’s Tank and blend right in. Not sure if dogs are allowed, so maybe leave Fido at home and just wear him on the shirt.
Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
No trip to Barcelona would be complete without a selfie in from of Sagrada Familia, Gaudí’s emblematic temple. This large unfinished Roman Catholic church in Barcelona was designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. In November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica
as distinct from a cathedral, which must be the seat of a bishop. The architectural and engineering style of the temple includes both Gothic and Art Nouveau forms. Take in the sites and take a memorable selfie while you’re at it! Pack this Dirty Spain Men’s T-Shirt in your suitcase to wear touring the sites and enjoying all that Spain has to offer.

This Roman treasure has a few names, the Colosseum or Coliseum and also the Flavian Amphitheatre. It is located in the center of Rome, Italy and build of tuff, travertine, and brick-faced concrete. As the largest amphitheater ever built, it can hold between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators.
