It's easier if the city is a center for tourism or emblematic in popular culture. From there, a few landmarks in that city might be well-known. But even then it's tough...for example Miami has a big profile but has no major landmarks at least in my mind.
Other cities can have their Statue of Liberty or Washington Monument, we have a local casino building a 10-story tall statue of a Pegasus fighting a dragon.

(yes this monstrosity is actually under construction, topped off actually):
