I traveled quite a lot throughout the USA and Canada over the years so there are way too many for me to list. Since retirement, I've traveled little so I feel blessed to have seen and done so much. I do live near Denali Nat'l park and Mt. McKinley (Denali) so I get to see others visiting our landmark.

The Eifel Tower and London Bridge. Not much else.

Do you mean Tower Bridge? London Bridge is quite dull.

Just went to "Jay and Silent Bob's: Secret Stash" in Red Bank, NJ today. For those that don't know it's the comic book store owned by Kevin Smith and Jayson Mewes; although I don't think Jay has much to do with it anymore. I didn't buy any comics, but I wanted to.

You might not have heard of it, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryggen in Bergen where I live is part of UNESCOs World Heritage List. It's the remains from when Bergen was founded about a thousand years ago.
This wharf was during Medieval times one of the greatest trade centres in Northern Europe.

I've also been to Buckingham Palace, London Bridge and Big Ben in London.

The http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/30/video-the-history-behind-detroits-monster-roadside-uniroyal-ti/ just outside of Detroit.
Niagara Falls
The "gateway to the west" Arch in St. Louis, MO.
The Mackinaw Bridge that connects the lower and upper peninsula of the State of Michigan. Because Michigan is shaped like a mitten, when you cross over that bridge it's like flipping off the rest of the world with the middle finger, you see.
And those who live in the upper peninsula are known as "Yoopers", as in UP, and those of us who live below the bridge [yours truly] are "Trolls".

Hmm. That's about it. I don't get around too much.

[edit] The Indianapolis 500 race track.

As the crow flies, I live 2.5 miles from the winner of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Phallic_Building_contest.

Maybe not that well known...but...now you know.

I was going to mention London's Gherkin, but no, it has nothing on that thing. What were its designers thinking? Unless they were having a good laugh, in which case I approve. :hehe:

Gotta Remember, Ypsilanti is just outside Ann Arbor.... (all the same so far as I am concerned....) and Ann Arbor is full of some of the oddest folks you will ever meet. From all ranges of the spectrum. (university of michigan is there as well)

I have been past the Big Tire more often than I care to count.....
Grand Canyon
Mount Rushmore
Rocky Mountains (sawtooth range)
Alamo
Lackland Air Force base......
Yellowstone
And a selection of others.... Went on a tour of 17 states with my parents when I was younger.

Everything in Manhattan bar the Statue of Liberty (not technically on Manhattan, but still...), which was being "upgraded" - presumably to Mount Rushmore. Everything of note within Scotland, and most of the noteworthy things in London and Brighton. A few things in Barcelona, including the Sagrada Familia.

My idea of landmarks may be a little different from yours...
