Dallas, Texas
Dallas's skyline is regarded as the best in Texas, with its most distinctive building in the Dallas skyline is Reunion Tower known locally as 'The Ball'. It's home to a revolving restaurant at the top.

 Frankfurt, Germany
No other European city makes this list, & rightly so as Frankfurt is the only city on the continent deserving. Home to one of the largest financial districts in Europe, the skyline benefits from the added element of the River Main.

 Giza, Egypt
While not boasting a beautiful skyline in the traditional sense, it has something no other city does, the pyramids!

 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
While the Petronas Towers may not be the world's tallest buildings anymore, they are still quite iconic, & the skyline of Kuala Lumpur surely does not disappoint.

Montreal is one of the world's more beautiful cities, & the city lights are not a let down as any trip up Mont Royal can attest.

Rio doesn't have the buildings that a lot of the other places have, but Rio has the natural beauty. There aren't many places in the world that have a more beautiful setting than this city.

Located on the Puget Sound, Seattle's most defining landmark is the Space Needle. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the building has been symbolic of the city ever since.

By far the most futuristic skyline to make the cut. Shanghai is the center of the Chinese economic boom & its skyline clearly represents that.

 Sydney, New South Wales
Home to the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Tower, & Harbour Bridge. Sydney is located on the largest natural harbor in the world.

 Tokyo, Japan
The world's largest city, Tokyo has a hectic & confusing skyline lacking in iconic structures. But where Tokyo shines is its grandeur, just the sheer scale of it all. I recommend a visit to the observation deck of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for any skyline connoisseur.

 Toronto, Ontario
Located on the shore on Lake Ontario, Toronto is home to the world's second tallest freestanding structure, the CN Tower. The structure hosts the highest public observation deck in the world.

 1. Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong has the most beautiful skyline in the world, hands down. The view of Hong Kong Island across the Victoria Harbor from Kowloon is unsurpassed in awe inducement. The city has that rare blend of both man made & natural beauty. And there are so many ways to experience the exquisiteness of the skyline. You can take a walk along the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, you can take the Star Ferry across the harbor, or you can take the tram to Victoria Peak & see it all from a different angle.
