The internet has its faults, but there's no denying the fact that it's made traveling way easier. Gone are the days of asking for directions on road trips — unless of course you're asking Siri. Now, you can plan out an entire girls' getaway with a few swipes on your phone, including Instagram collections organized by restaurants to try, sights to see, and outfits to wear.

And while that doesn't solve for the biggest dilemma of all — where to go — Pinterest and Airbnb have joined together to help you decide.

The duo compiled a list of the top trending travel destinations so far this year, based on the most-pinned locations thus far in 2017, and we included some truly luxurious Airbnbs worth checking out while you're in town.

From Kyoto to the Scottish Highlands, each of these 10 destinations is not only culturally rich, but very Instagram-worthy.
