Cities with great settings/ locations
i'm sure this has been done arleady , but i couldnt find other thread. if mods consider this thread more aproppiate in the Travel and Geography section, just move it.
Which cities do you think have the best settings? I mean rivers, coast lines, mountain backgrounds, etc... This one comes to mind: Chongqing, China. I like how the two rivers merge, creating a tip similar to Manhattan, plus the mountains on the back:   image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr and the model post in the scale model thread in this section. pic by z0rg  other cities that are a must: Shanghai, Hong Kong (wow, China has some beautiful cities!), NY, Chicago, Istanbul...Post pics! |

Santiago is just stunning!
Queenstown, New Zealand is also beautiful. Also like Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi (cause of it's several islands), Sydney (the harbour), Vancouver, Cape Town, Naples... But Rio wins by far IMO! Quote:

Shanghai has a nice river, otherwise I don't see the location as particularly spectacular.
Most specacular settings in order: 1) Rio --> city in a mountain range and coastal beaches 2) Hong Kong -- mountains and sea 3) Sydney -- harbor/beaches 4) Cape Town 5) Vancouver 6) Santiago 7) San Francisco 8) Naples 9) Nice/Monaco 10) Chongquing 11) Geneva 12) Caracas Honorable mentions Calgary Perth NYC Dublin Barcelona Lisbon Qingdao Seattle Denver Edinburgh Salvador Torino Stockholm Kabul La Paz Miami Best rivers in major cities NYC London Shanghai Paris Cities with quieter settings Moscow Paris London Lyon Washington Nanchang Podunk Last edited by aquablue; August 30th, 2008 at 12:34 AM. |

Of course I wouldn't dare put it FIRST on the list by any means, but Brisbane, Australia is definitely remarkable. The snaking river in the stunning bright climate framed by the misty Glasshouse Mountains backdrop.

Rio, Hong Kong and Neapol certainly come to mind, but how about Catania with a smoky Etna?
