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’ve gotta say. Vancouver is gorgeous. As a New Yorker, seeing it in person felt very trippy. It’s like taking the mountain ranges we have upstate and surrounding NYC with them. I spotted several other smaller skylines around, and you would see something different in every direction. I’m hoping to return in the relatively near future for a real visit because I wasn’t there very long.
