The postcard shots, in person. Eight landmarks that show up on every "must-see America" list for good reason — tap a stamp once you've stood in front of one.
A gift from France, and still the first thing many ships see entering New York Harbor. Crown access requires a separate reservation, booked well in advance — the pedestal and grounds don't.
That orange isn't gold — it's "International Orange," chosen so the bridge stays visible in San Francisco's near-constant fog. Walk or bike across for the view; driving across doesn't do it justice.
Four presidents carved into granite, visible from a mile-long walkway called the Avenue of Flags. Go at dusk for the lighting ceremony that runs in the warmer months.
The tallest man-made monument in the country at 630 feet, and the same height as it is wide. A tram inside each leg carries visitors up to an observation deck at the top.
Built for the 1962 World's Fair and still Seattle's skyline signature. The rotating glass floor on the observation level is not for anyone with a fear of heights.
A concrete arch-gravity dam that also happens to sit exactly on a state line — and a time zone line, since Arizona doesn't observe daylight saving time. Guided tours go inside the dam itself.
Originally an ad for a real-estate development, spelling out "HOLLYWOODLAND." There's no direct public access to the sign itself — the best views are from Griffith Observatory or Lake Hollywood Park.
Famous for its crack as much as for what it symbolizes. Free to view year-round in its own pavilion, a short walk from Independence Hall.
