There are only three of those I know for sure that I've seen. There are 3-4 more that I might have seen.

I like architectural stuff and would like to see most of them. There are some I don't care for. Some, even though I don't like the architecture, I'd like to see them just because they are famous.

The ones I've seen for sure are:
Gateway Arch (and been to the top)
White House
Space Needle

I'm more of an outdoor type and I generally stay away from large cities when I travel. So I'm not really in the right place for most of these.

You go and see the Sagrada Familia.  If you like intricacies, your mind will be blown away.  If visited 3 times and I'm always in awe.

I've seen18-20, some I'm not quite sure because I was there a long time ago and I was still a kid so I don't know exactly if we visited that place but most of them I'm pretty sure :)

3 or 4. The Gateway Arch, St. Louis. Basilica Sacre Cour (sp?) from a distance. House of Parliament building and Elizabeth Tower. Don't know if that counts as one or two.

Mangospacho · Answer

This is a trap. The article gets to number 10 then asks for a subscription when I’m already barely able to afford the increase from Netflix and feed my family.

Bricealan · Answer

@rachel776 Well, I saw the Cathedral in Cologne, Germany that took 300 years to complete... and it is a 'wonder' if I ever saw one

AviatorTom · Answer

I've seen 20 of the 49 buildings. With all the traveling I've done, I would have guessed more.

Staximus · Answer

I stood between the original twin towers back in the 80's and saw the Chrysler building from a distance. I'm surprised the Notre Dame Cathedral and Empire State Building weren't on the list.
