Who do you think is more spectacular and beautiful?

For me it's very touch. Chicago is obviously alot bigger, but Sydney is slightly more beautiful imo.

Couldn't find two good pics to compare with, but I'm sure you're familiar with both.

Sydney. Chicago's skyline impresses me with its massiveness but I've never found it attractive at all.

Easily Chicago. If this is really about the skylines than its not even close to a fair fight. Sydney has a tiny skyline. Its good for its size but it really is small. Chicago is so much more varied and Sydney Tower looks pretty bland.

I think Chicago has a better skyline. Sydney's is still amazing though. Sydney's skyline has always reminded me a lot of Toronto's.

Sydney's is not 'tiny' by any stretch. On the top 100 skylines ranking it was above such cities as Seattle, Houston, San Francisco and about on par with Philadelphia. In the US it is only really exceeded by NY and Chicago.
