Photo Diary: Famous Landmarks

When traveling to a new destination, you can often get a feel for the city’s culture by visiting one of their famous landmarks. For this week’s photo diary, we’ve selected a few architectural designs that characterize each city. Portland’s Portlandia is the second largest copper sculpture in the United States after the Statue of Liberty, and greets visitors upon entering the Portland Building. Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum is a world-renowned cultural center, holding influential artists’ most notable works of art. Whether you are interested in architectural design or want to have a pristine view over Tokyo’s skyline from Northern Tokyo Bay, the suspension Rainbow Bridge is a landmark for both.
