We chose a single view by continent of those breathtaking, often with a restaurant or bar to enjoy unique moments on the top.

At the top of the Eiffel Tower
Who could have told that the controversial Eiffel poor hulk of 324 meters up in the heart of Paris for the Universal Exhibition of 1889 would eventually become the symbol of the capital and up throughout France, not to mention the most visited monument planet. “Scrap Pile” or “hollow candlestick” was some of the nice things in those years she devoted to the scandalized Parisian Eiffel Tower, which avoided being dismantled thanks mainly to their heights, were appropriate for all types of antennas placed.

Today, converted rather in “the great iron lady”, offers unbeatable views of the capital of the Seine from its three floors open to the public. Inside, in addition, the lavish budgets can reserve a table the legendary Le Jules Verne restaurant on the second floor. And if the book is not for so many joys, the brasserie of the first 58 Tour Eiffel, proposed far more moderate prices to some views too precious. And at the top, champagne glass in his bar.

The Big Apple from the Empire State Building
Normal to Rio de Janeiro, with the splendid parorámica of the bay and the Cidade Maravilhosa who spend the heights of Christ the Redeemer, can not agree with this selection. But like it or not, New York is the capital of the world, and views of the Empire State Building, in the middle of Fifth Avenue are moving around the world since even before King Kong climb to the summit back in 1933.

It is no coincidence that this giant art-deco style and is 443′2 feet in the retina of all. His ‘Majesty’ has appeared, among many others, in films such as Superman, Coogan’s Bluff, Independence Day, Kramer vs. Kramer, Taxi Driver, New York Stories, With North by Northwest, On the Waterfront and whether, also was where Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks were found in the most famous scene from Sleepless in Seattle.

This skyscraper built in record time in the early 30’s again officiates as chief of New York after the attack on the Twin Towers. It rises almost a mile above the heart of Manhattan, with a veranda on the ground 86 and another in the 102-particularly romantic evening, because close at two o’clock, and three restaurants, cafes and even a post Post for mailing postcards from as top friends.

The mother of all cities from the Cairo Tower
A city with the vibrancy of Cairo must be lived from the road: the very close of the bazaars of Khan el Khalili or mosques and mansions adorned with decadent called Islamic Cairo, the Coptic neighborhood, studded with ancient churches, or choked stricter traffic of downtown. But occasionally there is also a stop at the crowd and the noise and give the soul a little respite. To do this, nothing better to hire a felucca for a few hours sailing down the Nile or, again, climb the 187 feet of the Tower of Cairo for, incidentally, wore one of the most breathtaking views of this “mother of all cities.”

Built in the 60s on the island of Gezira, one of the most modern and elegant neighborhoods of downtown, offers as high a restaurant surrounded by windows, very slowly rotates so that the diners are not lost or one of the angles, a bird’s eye view of the city are exhibited. While not required to dine there to admire the view. One can simply upload the picture to spot or have a drink. The witching sunset when the lights begin to twinkle from Cairo, is the most desirable.
