How about the Emirates Office Tower or the Hotel Tower… Anything that views Dubai is an insane view

Don’t agree with you about the Eiffel Tower – not only do you have long queues to get up to the top, but also, when you get there…you can’t see the Eiffel Tower. Montparnasse is much better – it’s cheaper, less busy, and your panoramic city shots will have the Eiffel Tower on them!

Good article. I’ve only been to the Jun Mao Tower, in Shanghai, but have to say I was disappointed with all the pollution. Big fan of the jumping picture at the beginning

I visited Seoul Tower towards the beginning of my stay in the city. A sign said it had closed the previous day…for one whole year! Maintenance work, I guess. By the time it reopened, I had lost interest. Did get to eat that day at the ridiculously priced revolving restaurant towards the top, though.

What about the 63 building? Is that still the tallest in the city?

The Seoul Tower in South Korea’s capital offers great 360 degree views of this sprawling city (though, admittedly, the smog at times impedes a clear view).

Though I love a great view from the highest point in any city, they’re usually the most touristy and overpriced. I find it much more rewarding to make it to the top of a lesser building for free, and without a crowd. Though security in many tall city buildings is tight, it never hurts to try, or to ask. I’ve had building managers escort me to the roof of their building with little more than an exchange of names.

Twin Peaks in San Francisco at night is the best city view I have personally seen. And to the poster who said the Hancock is better then the Sears, I agree 100%.

Great comments, everyone. Any other ones that we missed?

The views from the Hancock Center are, by far, better than the Sears Tower. No contest.

These are great fun…but wait…why not the top of the Space Needle in Seattle?! The restaurant on the 35th floor of the US bank tower in Portland, OR has a great view of our city as well.

the eureka tower skydeck in melbourne australia is a good one. i’m pretty sure it’s the tallest building in the southern hemisphere and from 88 stories up, you get a 360 degree view of the city.
