Worlds Best Skylines
June 9, 2008
There is nothing like the view of a beautifully lit night sky from a rooftop to really make you appreciate the beauty of a city and its landmarks. From Chicago to New York and across the seas, there are many wonders of the sky to enjoy.
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder when it comes to what is admired in skylines. For some it is truly the awe of a horizon with mountains carving a beautiful architecture in the night sky. For others it is the neon lit skyline of tall buildings lighting up the night sky that really creates a beautiful image.
If you are looking for a breathtaking skyline in your area, here are the top fifteen skylines across the world.
1. Hong Kong, China

Although these are the top fifteen noted skylines in the world, there are many other cities that hold the key to beautiful and scenic skylines. Whatever you like to admire in a skyline, there are sure to be many skylines yet to be discovered.
Here are some other cities that have gained popularity in their skyline views:

While there are technical measures used to determine what makes a notable skyline, for many people they are more concerned with the beauty and landmarks than with the visual vertical impact index. There are some characteristics that make for beautiful and popular skylines:
· Visual Vertical Impact Index
· Height
· Density
· Style and Organization
· Feats and Marvels
· Uniqueness
· Surroundings
Typically, a skyline is classified by the visual vertical index which is based on structures that measure up and leave a vertical imprint in the sky. Skyscrapers have their name for a reason – they are a pivotal part in the skyline view. It is these artificial structures that leave a beautiful impact in the horizon.
