This list is my personal preference of the world's best skylines. Because of both big differences between cities and an absence of general requirements that a 'good' skyline has to meet, the determination whether a skyline belongs to the best 15 in the world or not, differs from person to person and is therefore subjective.

Although the movie states that HK belongs to China, HK is in fact a special administrative region (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China).

#1 Hong Kong
#2 New York City

#5 Dubai

  • Chicago by far has the best skyline. Show me a city that has beaches in front of downtown, with World class museums, and parks. The Chicago architecture is World class. Oh by the way, the skyscraper was born in Chicago.

    I think Antarctica has the most awesome skyline in the world... who doesn't love skyline that were full of with cute penguins? :P
  • Hong Kong has the best skyline followed by Chicago and New York. While New York has more buildings than Chicago, Chicago's skyline is prettier.

    For a person who went to college for architecture Chicago and New York  should be higher in the rankings.  #1, #2?  Why?  Because they show a diversity of architectural design and height over the past 100 plus years.  Other cities, not bounded by height restrictions, only reflect new high rises within the past 15 years.

    I am an American, but I have to admit that Hong Kong is stupendous, majestic! Like a city in another galaxy!
  • @Alex-vy1ll
    It's amazing how many of these skylines have had notable changes in the 7 years since this video was posted.
  • @jakernis
    I agree with you on all of them
  • @jesschow5082
    thanks you so much that you put Hong Kong in #1 :)

    It is funny how people judge me for my own opinion. As stated before, this list is made according to my PERSONAL preferences, so there is no need to be offended ;-). Besides, I made this list more than three years ago and all cities (including the ones in this list) have changed enormously. For those who like my video: thanks for the support!
  • i personally actually find chicago's skyline to be have a far more spectacular skyline than new york- nyc is just the freedom tower, empire state, and chrysler building surrounded by beige blobs. Chicago's skyline is full of character and life. Its personality is intoxicating.
  • Hong Kong the world's city is definitely the one with the best skyline. I miss Hong Kong.
