  • Make your own list first and them insert it in the comments below and read the other list there.

It all started when I saw a claim at the Brandenburg Gate that it was “one of the top ten tourist icons” and I wrote the claim on a postcard.  People answered.  Now I want to see your list.

Nor are icons like McDonalds and Nike. (they are not location specific)

Machu Pichu?
