From the Pöstlingberg in Linz / Urfahr and from the Pfenningberg you have a very nice view over the city of Linz. At night you can see the beautiful lights from the city underneath and I really enjoy watching and listening to the vibrant city. From the spots I mentioned you can still hear the car noises and the motorway but only like a "white noise". And this is something that lets me relax, knowing that the world still exist and being able to close the eyes and just listen. I think everybody needs a spot like this.
Thankfully there are nearly in every city some spots where you can watch over the city and take some nice pictures from above. I know several spots in Linz and I also know some in Vienna.

To get some really nice pictures you need to be there during the blue hour, right after sunset. So you can have a blue sky above the city from the twilight. Some years ago in summer I did several of these night photography trips to a hill around Linz and took several nice pictures from the city at night.
