Did you know that London has the largest number of international tourists in the world or that 40% of the New York subway is above ground and operates 24 hours a day? In this article, read 11 interesting things you may not know about world landmarks: 1. Golden Gate Bridge One of the most famous bridges in the world, despite its name, is not golden but orange. At goldengatebridge.org you can find the exact formula and instructions if you want to get the exact shade of orange used to paint this bridge. The bridge owes its name to the bay in which it is located, not to its color. Another interesting thing is that the painting of this bridge never stops. The bridge is so large that when the painting is finished, the paint has faded at the other end and needs to be repainted. This painting is not done just because of the beautiful photos that tourists will take. Namely, the bridge is located in a bay where thick fog is a very common occurrence, and at the same time it is a place of frequent helicopter and plane flights (which land and take off from San Francisco airport), and the shade of orange used best emphasizes the bridge in fog and makes make it more visible. 2. Hong Kong This amazing city has more skyscrapers than any other city in the world, even more than New York. 3. Australia The only country in the world that is also a continent. You may not have known that Australia has over 10,000 beautiful beaches. 4. Statue of Liberty Although it represents a famous American symbol today, this giant statue was made in France and transported to New York by ship disassembled into 350 parts. 5. Eiffel Tower This is the most visited tourist site in the world. This tower is famous as a tourist attraction, but for more than 600 Parisians it is an everyday workplace. 6. Vatican If you are a fan of museums, take the road to Rome, more precisely to the Vatican. The smallest country in the world owns the richest museum treasury in the world. 7. The Great Wall of China Despite all the claims in encyclopedias such as "Believe it or not", this grandiose building, however, is not visible from the moon, which was confirmed by NASA. 8. Hollywood The famous Hollywood sign was placed back in 1923 as a temporary advertisement intended for real estate buyers. Although it was supposed to last only a year, some 80 years later, this sign still stands as a symbol of hope for many opportunists who come to Los Angeles in search of happiness in the largest film industry. Because of unfulfilled dreams of film fame, many unfulfilled actors, directors and screenwriters ended their lives by suicide, which is why many consider this sign haunted. 9. Sagrada Familia The most popular tourist attraction of Barscelona is still not finished and its construction has been intermittent since 1882. One of the main reasons for such a long period of construction is that the financing of works is done exclusively through donations. 10. Walt Disney World Resort The famous theme park is the most popular place of its kind in the world, and certainly the largest. There are several theme parks, hotels, camps and entertainment in one place, so it can match the size of many cities. What’s more, Disney World occupies twice the size of Manhattan
