Tough one, we have so many. I’ll go with some combination of recognizability and awesomeness.

- Mount Rushmore
- Golden Gate Bridge
- Statue of Liberty
- Biltmore Estate
- Cinderella’s Castle

We are lucky to have so many in this country hard to choose I guess the top 5 in my opinion would be...

Statue Of Liberty
Golden Gate Bridge
Washington Monument
The White House
Mount Rushmore

But there are many more!
