famous landmarks
Celebrated tourist destinations
Famous landmarks are well-known structures or sites that serve as recognizable symbols of a place—the Eiffel Tower for Paris, the Statue of Liberty for New York.
The phrase often appears in tourism contexts: We visited all the famous landmarks, a tour of famous landmarks.
Something can become a famous landmark through historical significance, architectural distinction, or cultural meaning.
