Created by myself during Covid-19 lockdown. I've posted an image because emoji rendering as text are not working too well.

$\begingroup$ Can you verify the solution for 11.? If so, I think the puzzle is complete and you can accept the answer (that will give you 2 additional reputation and none to me, since it's a community wiki). Muchas gracias for making the puzzle. $\endgroup$– GlorfindelApr 8, 2020 at 8:24

10$\begingroup$ I think in future these should be made from the start for these sorts of puzzles. Otherwise the page just gets spammed with answers adding a single one. $\endgroup$ Apr 6, 2020 at 22:10

Two to get started:
5:
the Blue Mosque in Istanbul
15:
Galápagos Islands (gal + ape + o + gas – that might be a typo?)
and another one:
7:
Uluru / Ayers Rock (2 ears → Ayers + Rock)
and one I'm not so sure about:
16:
Kremlin (ice cream → Krem + a Lin(e) of people) – this would fit the hints in the comments by the OP to the Red Square.
