TikTok isn't just the go-to app for makeup tips, viral photo challenges and breakfast hacks. It's also becoming a hotbed for travel inspo as many of us consider booking international holidays again, at least cautiously.
According to a new study from Superdry, the most watched city on travel TikTok is New York with a massive 114 million views. In fairness, the city's iconic skyline and instantly recognisable landmarks like the Empire State Building and Central Park do make for great content.
And yes, "Empire State of Mind" is most certainly the song to soundtrack a New York City TikTok with.
