Oct 4, 2012 — The best landmarks in the world have become symbols for their cities, regions, and sometimes even entire countries. Take the Statue of Liberty for instance: to Americans, incoming immigrants, and the rest of the world, this French-made New York icon has come to represent not only the sprawling metropolis, but also the United States as a whole. And places like the Eiffel Tower have come to symbolize all of Paris and even France through its importance in movies, photographs, and music.
Iconic landmarks help to define their cities and represent their unique history and character. Can you imagine what Hollywood would be without its towering white sign? Or what about Florence without the beautiful and serene Ponte Vecchio? Landmarks not only help to capture the heart of their cities, but can also be a great place to get a snapshot of the local crowds and cultures.
Whether you’re working your way through a bucket list or just want to see the famous landmarks that so many songs are written about, a popular landmark is a great way to get a quick feel for the spirit of a city.
