1. New York City.

2. I second Pittsburgh. It’s such a cool skyline.

3. San Diego

4. St Louis, MO

5. New Orleans from across the river is great.

6. I’m with you. I fell in love with this city the second I came through the tunnels and saw the skyline.

7. San Francisco

8. NYC followed by Chicago.

9. Seattle

10. I think Miami has a very nice skyline with the more futuristic looking architecture sitting on Biscayne Bay.

11. Baltimore

12. Chicago, no question.

    It’s the most beautiful skyline in the country.

    Pittsburgh is amazing too. Coming out of the tunnel into the city is on of the best driving experiences ever.

13. It’s San Diego for me.

14. Atlanta.

    Admittedly i haven’t been to a lot (including the iconic NYC), but of the ones I’ve been to, I love Atlanta the most. Bank of America Plaza is gorgeous at night.

15. I grew up thinking of the skyline of Manhattan as home and there’s no place like home for me

16. Chicago… sure, I’m biased. But it’s also amazing!

17. Unpopular: Los Angeles

18. Nashville, especially at night.

19. Minneapolis! Underrated IMO.

20. Not one that gets mentioned a lot, but I really like Tucson’s skyline. The mountains behind the buildings, and the desert plant-life just looks gorgeous to me, especially at sunset.

21. NYC, I’m totally not biased.

22. Pittsburgh for sure.

23. NYC because it’s home, but having recently been to Honolulu, gotta give them a shout out. Seattle’s up there too

24. Chicago’s is top tier, but I’m partial to Kansas City due to my childhood

25. I’m biased because I’ve lived here for 17 years, but Manhattan by a country mile. I can’t think of another US city that comes close (and I’ve traveled all over the country).

26. I really like flying into Philly for the skyline and just everything you can see as you get closer to the city.

27. Aside from Chicago, probably Minneapolis. To me it overall feels pretty balanced, with a tall core of three buildings and gradually decreases in height from nearly every scenic angle.

28. I’ll go with one I haven’t seen in the comments yet.

    Denver. Absolutely stunning with the Rockies in the backdrop

29. Chicago from the lake. Stunning.

30. Pittsburgh

31. I’m always going to be partial to the Dallas skyline. I love seeing reunion tower.

32. Another vote for St. Louis.

33. Los Angeles is definitely mine.

34. Detroit, when viewed from Windsor.

35. Madison WI from the terrace

36. Dallas had a great skyline. Don’t visit, but it looks nice lol

37. I have to agree on Pittsburgh, that skyline is awesome from Mount Washington.

38. San Diego from across the bay or LA from the Hollywood Hills. New York is a close second.

39. Chicago

40. Chicago

41. Agree. 100% Pittsburgh. However, I am biased.

42. I gotta go with Pittsburgh as well, but maybe I’m biased. You pop out of the tunnel back into the sunlight and downtown is right there. You’ll be in awe of the view for a few moments before you realize you have about 200 more feet at 60 mph to decide which of the 4 lanes you actually want to be in.

43. Salt Lake City

44. Cincinnati from across the river at night.

45. I’m with you on Pittsburgh!! I love the three rivers, the inclines, the bridges, even the USX tower now as the UPMC skyscraper (I still love it even though the letters on the top of the building are far left and I think they should be centered lol). I’ve lived in Pittsburgh most of my life and when I was in high school, I couldn’t wait to get out of here and go south for college. But when I came back, I fell in love with my hometown and it’s beauty 💗

46. Pittsburgh is the correct answer

47. Not my favorite, but Cincinnati’s is underrated. The view driving down the cut in the hill from the Kentucky side is great.
