What’s your favorite city/skyline "reveal"?

I've always seen a lot of discussion about the most impressive/iconic skylines, nighttime skylines, etc, but one thing I've always found underrated are skylines that have have an impactful "reveal".

My example – coming into Cincinnati from the south (I75/71). You've been driving for a long time through a lot of greenery and countryside, and, at least before navigation was prevalent, you had an idea that you're getting somewhat close to the city. Then you take a relatively sharp bank on the interstate and suddenly the best shot of the city is staring you in the face – bridges, skyline, stadiums, etc. Not that Cincy cracks the top 20 skylines (maybe just within the US) for any well-traveled person – but it comes out of nowhere with its biggest and most striking angle. Both of my kids got to experience it for the first time recently and it was a lot of "whoa"s coming from the back seat.

I have a couple more that come to mind, but I'm curious what others think – what's your favorite?
