Everyone has their favorite spots for taking a pause and letting in some awe.

Some views, we stumble on while actively searching. A rooftop bar is a given, and why else would you walk to the end of a pier with no fishing pole?

Other times you’re going about your business — checking out a book at the library, parking your car in a public garage, jogging, reluctantly, down a new street — and it hits you: “woah.”

Creating a list of the “best” views doesn’t make sense. Everyone has their own favorites for their own personal reasons.

Instead, here’s a list of some of our favorite spots to take in the scenery, in the hope that you’ll discover something new to add to your own.
