Don't know about most famous - but when push comes to shove, Golden Gate may be beautiful but it's just a boring old suspension bridge - two a penny. Tower Bridge is sort of ugly, but unique.
Only one mention for Sydney Harbour Bridge? Almost unique; never misses an appearance in publicity for Australia, and seen whenever NYE comes around in places where the celebrations of others merit a few seconds of TV time.

Obviously we have different priorities, but I can look all day and night at the very beautiful Nicole Kidman and it won't bother me even if I get bored. Now, that's what I call one beautiful Aussie, and just like the Golden Gate Bridge, doesn't need a once-a-year event like NYE to be noticed as beautiful

ballbuster, my vote goes to London Bridge. When I was in Kindergarten we sang a little ditty called "London Bridge is Falling Down". We had never heard of The Golden Gate Bridge. It wasn't built until 1937.
My favorite bridge is the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay. On the bridge there are two fishing piers which total 2 1/4 miles in length and no fishing license is required.

The way this legend goes is: American developer sees Tower Bridge, but thinks it's the famous London Bridge of the nursery rhyme, directs his people to negotiate the sale, has the bridge dismantled, shipped to Arizona, uncrated, and reassembled.
