From all of the places I've been, I think only one skyline has really amazed me and that's Hong Kong. Whether it's from Kowloon or Victoria Peak, there's an amazing view. I love Chicago's skyline, too but Hong Kong is in a different World.Originally Posted by stvnr

SF is great if you see it from the right angle.
Two great ones are from the bay, about halfway between Alcatraz and the GG channel. The other is on the 280. You are coming along, and all you can see is Twin Peaks, and these awful box houses on the southern downslope. Then the double deck freeway curves around the mountain and, Bam!, all at once you can see the whole skyline from Japantown to Rincon Hill.

+1 as well. For me, it's from Kowloon on a clear night.

Istanbul
tel aviv has a grat skyline - what I like most about it is that I can remember when each of the (tall) buildings were built, so it has very special assosiations to me.
athens can be cool - from the right places you see tall modern buildings, and the acropolis in the background
and I would agree with Hong Kong
and sidney

+1 on Minneapolis (but I see it every day). But +1 too on Pittsburgh- I hadn't been until last year- when you come through whatever tunnel that is and it opend up, it's quite pretty. I was pleasantly surprised.

+1 on the 280 approach. Whenever I have friends visiting, especially first-time visitors, I always bring them to the city from the airport this way. The looks on their faces as we turn that corner are priceless.
