Pinterest launched Place Pins almost a year ago to help users discover new places and track their travels.

Since then, users have created 4 million Place Boards and uploaded over 1 billion Place pins into the system.

Thanks to that data, Pinterest was able to put together a list of the top 20 most popular places in the U.S. that everyone should try to visit.

20. Hipster-mecca Portland, Oregon has a gorgeous skyline over the Willamette River. It’s also known as the City of Roses.
