World's Most Stunning City Skylines - ForbesTraveler.com
Alright here's the list (I don't think they ordered it):
Chicago
Sydney
Dubai
Seattle
Paris
London
Houston
Pittsburgh
Hong Kong
Toronto
San Francisco
Frankfurt
New York City
Do you agree?
What cities did they forget and what cities should be taken away?

Where are Shanghai and Brisbane?
Not sure whether I agree with Houston, London, and Paris.

Hmm... I agree to most of them... but what about Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai?

London and Paris definitely should not be on that list.

While the picture of London is no doubt gorgeous.. I don't know how you can really consider that a "skyline". Perhaps Shanghai should be there instead?

Yeah London and Paris really don't have a skyline, they just have a few big buildings. And I just don't like Frankfurt or Houston much, they're a little booring.

Serious omission in that list: Vancouver. With the backdrop of the north shore mountains, Vancouver is stunning.
Some of the cities in that list have nice lighting to compensate for the fact that they're just a bunch of buildings. Vancouver doesn't need fancy lighting to shine, it's gorgeous in the daytime and nightime.

I agree. Paris and London are both beautiful cities, but the do not have stunning skylines. Frankfurt has the only best skyline in Europe. And where is Shanghai? NYC is the #1 for me. Beautiful old skyscrapers mixed in with modern ones.  |

Vancouver seems a major omission. Its skyline is stunning as is its setting.
