San Francisco, United States - Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is probably the most filmed and photographed bridge in the world, but also the most famous. In 1937, San Francisco residents were allowed to cross their cable-stayed bridge, which is 1.7 miles long and painted a striking red-orange color, officially called International Orange. The distinctive color came to increase visibility, as it can get quite foggy in San Francisco Bay. About 100,000 cars pass the bridge every day.
No bridge has collapsed as many times in movies as the Golden Gate Bridge. And probably no bridge experienced such a surge in popularity as this one. There is an average increase of 82,000 additional searches per month for this milestone, from 368,000 in 2019 to 450,000 in 2021.
You can recreate the bridge's majesty in miniature with the San Francisco LEGO set for ages 12 and up - a great gift for a young architect. With the bridge itself (but don't try to cross it on foot) and some other recognizable sights of the city, there's enough to make you feel like you've taken a quick tour.

The Colosseum of Rome was built in the first century AD and took eight years to complete. The opening games lasted 100 days and featured all kinds of spectacles and attracted citizens from miles away! The structure itself, made of concrete and stone, spans 189 by 156 meters and could accommodate up to 50,000 spectators. Unfortunately, the Colosseum has been severely damaged by a number of natural disasters and despite many renovations, the building is still in danger of falling into disrepair. However, that does not stop thousands of tourists from visiting the Colosseum every day to enjoy its historical splendor.
Arguably one of the most famous in Italy, this landmark has remained popular over the years with an average of 550,000 internet searches per month between 2019 and 2021. However, the hashtag #colosseum has been used a whopping 1,770,959 times. on Instagram.

Paris, France - Eiffel Tower
The world-famous Eiffel Tower in Paris is a monument that appeals to the imagination. The building was built in 1889 as the entrance to the World's Fair of the same year. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Initially criticized by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design not being in keeping with the style of the time, it is now a global cultural icon for France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.
The roof of the tower is 300 meters high, while the antenna raises it another 24 meters. The Eiffel Tower is visited by 7 million people every year, making it the most visited paid monument in the world. Until 1930 it was the tallest building in the world, until the Chrysler Building was completed in New York.
This milestone also surprisingly saw no increase or decrease in popularity between 2019 and 2021, remaining at an average of 1,000,000 searches per month with the most hashtags used on this list: 6,664,177.

London, United Kingdom - Tower Bridge
At the end of the 19th century, the need for an additional bridge over the Thames became clear in the English capital, because London Bridge alone was not sufficient. That is why a new bridge was built, which became the most famous in London. It was built between 1886 and 1894, with the two towers being its most typical features.
The bridge is 244 meters long and in the middle the bridge can be opened for water traffic. When closed, the distance between the water and the bridge is 8.6 meters, but when open, ships with a height of 42.5 meters can pass underneath without the bridge opening. The two bridge sections can be rotated to an angle of 86 degrees in just one minute, allowing ships to pass. Nowadays the bridge is opened and closed electrically, but in the past there was a hydraulic system: the original steam engines are now a tourist attraction.
Tower Bridge has also remained stable in online popularity over the past two years; the average monthly search volume remained the same at 301,000 per month, with #towerbridge used 2,462,049 times on Instagram.
Add Tower Bridge and other London attractions to your own world displays with the LEGO London set. Instantly recognizable by Big Ben, the bridge itself and the London Eye, as well as a few other well-known locations, it makes a great gift for anyone who is a fan of the British capital.

It was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers and is known worldwide as an icon of New York City.
It is also an incredibly popular landmark for social media users, with 2,948,555 uses of the hashtag #empirestatebuilding on Instagram alone.
