World's 5 Best Urban Sunsets - as part of the travel series by GeoBeats.
Most of us associate sunsets with either oceans or mountains. However, a sunset in an urban setting can be equally thrilling.
Here are 5 of the world's most beautiful urban sunsets:
Number 5 - Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world. The classical facades of the buildings glow in the dying light of the day. A Parisian sunset from the monumental Eiffel Tower is a unique experience.
Number 4 - San Francisco is a stunning city with its skyline set against its picturesque bay. As the sun goes down, the suspension wires of the Golden Gate bridge glow like filaments of fire. To complement the bright gleam of the bridge, the water of the bay flashes and glitters in the fading light.
Number 3 - Rome is genuinely unique in its history and splendor. The luminous classical architecture of the city turns golden at sunset. Its impressive and magnanimous buildings bask in the glory of setting sun.
Number 2 - A strikingly unique characteristic of Istanbul is that it is the only bi-continental city in the world, spanning both Asia and Europe. This beauty erupts at sunset, the lines of the buildings and the cross cultural features of the city are highlighted during this time of ambiguity linking the bright day and star filled night.
Number 1 - A Sydney sunset proves to be an impressive and romantic sight from the water or the city's perimeters. The silhouettes of Sydney's prolific monuments become outlined against the ever dimming lights.
