Cities with breathtaking geographic features? Discussion

I’ve only been around the United States, Canada, Mexico, and a few European countries, so my experiences are pretty limited, and maybe I’m a little bias, but seeing Mt. Rainier on a clear day in the backdrop of the Seattle skyline takes my breath away every time.

I know there’s so many beautiful cities around the world (I don’t wanna sound like a typical American who thinks the world is just the states lol).

Interested to hear of some examples of picturesque features from across the world.

I went to the mount for a hike on a stormy day, and had to skipped the hike. So bad I never had a chance to do it later :(

It doesn't help that NZ is so far from the rest of the world :)
