There is a restaurant up there, everyone is allowed to go, tho you should order something from them if you plan to take pictures there.

Careful watchers can spot the Rooftop Cinema (which is one of the coziest places in Tallinn) on the left side side of the pic.

Very cool photo

That Tallinn photo is a beast. That's the kind of skyline photos we should have more of in this thread.

Wouldn't it be more easy to simply rename this thread to 'Skyline pictures of Nordic&Baltic cities'?

Riga, Purvciems district.

I don't see what's wrong about posting the smaller ones too.
If we only posted the largest we'd just have the larger ones in the baltics, oslo, Stockholm, Gburg, Copenhagen, Malmö, etc,completely leaving out also interesting places like Stavanger, Århus, Bergen, Trondheim, Molde which already has potential, Bodø, Haugesund, etc at least on Norway's side. There's several others

Anyhoo, to please the picky ones, have an Oslo one; it's pretty much as skyline-y it gets.

These views can hardly be called beautiful...

mjoks007 · June 21st, 2012, 01:32 PM

At least something we haven't seen five hundred times already.

Alytus. 6th largest city in Lithuania and 12 largest in the Baltics.
Situated in valley of Nemunas and on the hills, that rise more than 100 meters above the river, with natural pine forest park in the centre, Alytus is one of the nicest towns in Lithuania.

www.alytus.lt

Currently it has nice parks, pedestrian zones, renovated buildings in the centre http://www.alytus.lt/zvilgsnis-i-alytu

Speaking of Oslo, I was there for an hour or so yesterday, going to Tusenfryd amusementpark with some friends, stopped by the trainstation, the side facing the opera to pick up a few more, was pretty neat, not being there for over 10 years, if not more. Barcode is A LOT cooler in person,than on the picture, the sheer mass of these things... O-o
