Discover the Top 7 Iconic US Landmarks

For most tourists, the first item on an itinerary is always to locate and immediately visit the major landmarks of whatever country you happen to be in. If we’re talking about a relatively small country or region this isn’t a very daunting proposition at all. However, if it’s in a fairly sizable country, like the US, then some planning will be necessary if you hope to catch a glimpse of more than one or two sites of interest. As far as the US is concerned, there are a number of very interesting landmarks which everyone seems to be interested in. Here are the top 10 US landmarks which you should consider if you’re planning a visit to the US of A.

7. White House

Let’s face it, pretty much everyone’s heard of the White House, and even if they haven’t, they’ve probably seen it in a movie, right? Yes, the president of the United States lives there and they occasionally do guided tours of the site (although that might still be recently suspended). At any rate, you can still catch a glimpse of the place from the outside, in all its stately glory.

6. Statue of Liberty

Another one of the more iconic US landmarks is the Statue of Liberty, which overlooks the New York skyline. This enormous green tinted copper beauty has been standing tall since the late 1800’s and greeted the many millions of immigrants which helped to build the country into the world’s leading superpower.

5. Mount Rushmore

Aside from being a monumental feat of labor, Mount Rushmore is arguably one of the true wonders of the world. The landmark itself is a sculpture that has been carved directly into a mountainous rock facing comprising the likenesses of 4 classic US presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
