Take me there: from photo straight to trip
Got a picture of a dream place but no name? Upload it – wemake.holiday recognises the place and plans the way there.
In short
How do I find out where a photo was taken – and how do I get there?
Drag the photo or screenshot into the wemake.holiday photo search. If the image contains GPS data, your browser reads it and only the coordinates go to the server. Otherwise an AI estimates the place from what’s in the picture – saying how confident it is and offering up to three alternatives. Then, with one click, you search for hotels, flights to the nearest airport and experiences on site.
The problem
The best travel ideas come from pictures – from social media, chats or magazines. But they almost never say where it is. And even if they do, it’s a long way from there to a flight and a hotel.
- Screenshots and images from social media have no location data
- Reverse image searches often only find copies of the image, not a place
- Then the search for an airport, hotel and excursions starts from scratch
The solution
Photo search combines place recognition with travel search. It uses the data in the image first and only then the AI – and takes you straight to hotels, flights and experiences at the recognised place.
- With GPS data: the place from the coordinates, without AI, plus the nearest major airports and places nearby
- Without GPS: AI estimate with region, country, confidence, reasoning and up to three alternatives
- Photo search recognises scenes it has seen before – the result then appears instantly
- Photos of the place, a map and “More about …” from Wikipedia and Wikivoyage
- Buttons for hotels, flights and experiences at the recognised place

Good to know

- Works without an account
Frequently asked questions about Photo search “Take me there”
Does it work with screenshots from Instagram?
Yes. Screenshots have no location data, so the AI estimates the place from the image content – often precisely for distinctive places, more likely just the region for generic scenes.
How reliable is the estimate?
The AI says whether it is fairly certain, whether it’s likely or just a rough estimate – and gives its reasoning and alternatives.
Is my photo stored?
Not the photo itself on the server. For your history it stays on your device; when you’re signed in, your account only holds the result and a 240-pixel thumbnail.
Which airports does photo search suggest?
The nearest major international airports to the recognised place, at most three.
