2. The Golden Gate Bridge: San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge is truly a site to be seen, according to Concetta Chiarini. Walking or biking across the bridge is a great way to experience the San Francisco skyline, while a ground view of the bridge itself, particularly on a sunny day, is an aesthetic treat.
3. The National Mall: More than any particular monument on the Mall, Concetta Chiarini considers the grand expanse of the National Mall to truly be the sight to see in Washington D.C. According to Concetta Chiarini, looking across the Mall gives the impression of the grandness of the American democratic project.
4. Niagara Falls: Concetta Chiarini first visited Niagara Falls as a small girl with her parents, but the Falls still haven’t lost their charm. Concetta Chiarini recommends a boat ride under the falls for the full experience.
