Starfield Earth landmarks: How to find New York, London, Hong Kong, and more
Where to find every Starfield Earth landmark, plus the ones on the moon and Mars, along with the souvenier snow globes that go with them.
If you're on the hunt for Starfield Earth landmarks we can point your spaceship in the right direction. Starfield has a series of quests that take you to landmarks on the ruins of planet Earth, the moon, and even Mars, and each quest lets you walk away with a souvenir snow globe, a great photo op, and a nice bundle of XP.
Finding the start of these Earth landmark quests can be a little tricky, and finding one doesn't automatically lead to finding the rest. Here's how to find every Starfield Earth landmark, landmarks on the moon and Mars, and the snow globes that go with them.
Here are the Earth landmark locations, plus the landmarks on the moon and Mars, followed by instructions on how to find them.

How to get Starfield Earth landmark quests
Your quest to visit Starfield Earth landmarks will only begin when you do a little reading, or at least a little book collecting. In fact, with the exception of the Mars landmark, Earth landmark quests begin by getting specific books.
Some of these books may turn up randomly in locations throughout Starfield, but we've listed a definite location for each book below if you don't want to hunt them down on your own. To get the landmark quest, you just need to add the specific book to your inventory by picking it up or buying it.
Once you've got the right book, the quest will appear in the Activity section of your quest log and a landing site will appear on the planet. Just land and follow the quest marker to each Earth landmark and snow globe.

This snow globe quest is different than the others. To acquire it, you need to be on the main story quest "Unearthed" which sends you to the NASA Launch Tower location on Mars.
As you're looking through the NASA Launch Tower you'll enter a museum of exhibits from NASA's space program. Look for one that is displaying a rover as part of the MER (Mars Exploration Rover) Program. Interact with the kiosk in front of it and you'll learn about the MER program and the snow globe quest will be added to your quest log.
Land at the marker and you'll find the snow globe sitting on the rover.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
