Between historical monuments, engineering marvels, and otherworldly natural landscapes, America has countless landmarks to visit and even more ways to see them. Let’s explore some ways to get creative when visiting these three American landmarks.

The Statue of Liberty

Located in the New York Harbor at the southern tip of Manhattan, you can enjoy a clear view of this iconic landmark from the Statue of Liberty viewpoint. For a unique perspective, consider a boat tour. You'll see Lady Liberty from a completely different vantage point, complete with the New York skyline in the background.

As one of America’s most famous landmarks, the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom, democracy, and friendship. In 1881, France gifted the iconic landmark to America to commemorate their alliance throughout the American Revolution.

The Golden Gate Bridge

To see the full scope of this world-famous bridge, visit Baker Beach or Crissy Field for a panoramic view. After you’ve viewed the classic Golden Gate Bridge view from one of these locations, be sure to cross it! Many people enjoy visiting the Golden Gate Bridge visitor center, followed by walking or cycling across the bridge, and finally strolling through Golden Gate National Recreational Area.

As one of the world’s largest suspension bridges, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge was an engineering marvel when it was built in 1937. To this day, it is considered one of the ‘Engineering Wonders of the World’. Its vibrant orange hue contrasted with the blue waters of the San Francisco Bay is a must-see when visiting the city.

Grand Canyon

For a truly unforgettable experience, take in Grand Canyon views from the Colorado River, which runs through the base of the canyon. Join a rafting tour, view Horseshoe Bend from a helicopter, or explore one of the many hiking trails throughout the park for picture-perfect views.

If you ask anyone to name a natural landmark in America, you’re likely to hear ‘Grand Canyon’. With layers of red rock that expand as far as the eye can see, it’s no wonder this is an iconic American landmark.

No matter where you choose to go in America, there is a landmark to marvel at. Whether you want to learn more about the history of an area, take in unique architecture and engineering, or appreciate stunningly beautiful nature, there is something for everyone. Find a fresh perspective by getting creative in your travels and find unique new ways to experience these iconic American landmarks.
