Europe's Top Ten Landmarks?
What do you think are Europe's top landmarks - buildings or towers or whatever? Things that everyone knows and wants to see? Castles and churches and museums don't count!
1- I think Eiffel Tower has to be #1 for sure - after that not sure but my choices:
2- Rome's Colloseum
3- Pisa's Leaning Tower
4- London's Big Ben (tower not the bell)
5- London Traflagar Square
6- France- Mont Saint Michel
7- France Pont du Gard
8- Florence' Ponte Vecchio
9- England's Stonehenge
10- Berlin's Brandenburg Gate
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TEN (MORE OR LESS!)

No castles, churches or museums? Pretty much discards my top 10 or 20 or 30.
"Things everyone knows and wants to see?"
Landmarks may be harder to quantify, but probably yes to:
Eiffel Tower
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Colloseum in Rome
Some possibilities: not my choices, but are well known
Trevi Fountain
Pompeii and Vesuvius
St Peters Square
The Grand Canal in Venice and Rialto Bridge
London Bridge
Champs-Elysees

We have gone out of our way to avoid the Leaning Tower and while visiting Paris, on numerous occasions, we close our eyes when we pass the Eiffel Tower.
And you can attribute the following to my ignorance, but until this thread I never heard of the The Lofoten Wall. It sound like Trump wants to keep lutefisk out of the country.

Trevi fountain
Spanish steps
Venice or at the very least the grand canal and St. Mark's square
Alhambra
Alcázar
If the question is places everybody knows it's likely a very short list. Not everybody knows the Promenade des Anglais or even Ramblas.

I have avoided looking at the leaning tower in Paris
The Eiffel tower is easy to avoid in Pisa
But more serioiusly
The view from Pienza cliff on a clear night
The view from Colli Euganai towards Padua in the easly morning
The smile of a bakery girl at 7:30 any morning especially when buying croissant in a small French town
The ferry to to Brehat
Troense
Yllas in the winter when the deer are passing
The underground spa in Miskolc
Flying plants at the Sunday morning market in Hamburg
The bike path on top of the railway line in Prague
You guys go crazy places
