Florence, Italy
Florence, Italy has a skyline that is completely dominated by one single building – the Duomo of Florence – which juts out from the smaller red-roofed buildings, towering over the rest of them by several storeys.
The only other building in Florence that comes close to matching the impressive size of the Duomo is the tower of the Palazzo Vecchio, the town hall which dates back to the 13th century. A great way to see all of Florence at once is to head to the Piazzale Michelangelo, an observatory platform a short walk away from the city.
