Location: Prague, Czech Republic
Based on experience, everything looks better as viewed from the top. Especially cities; it gives you that right amount of tease to push yourself to see more and discover more of what's hidden beneath those unique structures.
See Prague from the Top
Pražský hrad (Prague Castle)
Before entering Prague's Palace of the President, you'll notice a stone walkway that gives visitors an overview of what this city could offer; red-brick rooves paired with some really interesting architecture. Surprisingly, this view is neglected by most people due to its proximity to the Prague Castle. So, when you're visiting the place, try to slow-down and take in the beautiful view.

I fell in-love with the view so much that I suggest staying near this area. The best option if you ask me is staying at the unique, courtyard-feel, Mandarin Oriental Prague that's not too far away from this awesome view. Discover this area and you won't be disappointed!
Staromĕstská radnice
First of all, what could go wrong being in this location? If it's at the beautiful Staroměstské náměstí, there's no doubt it would give you some beautiful views (and that's a proven fact). Opening up with a 360-degree view of the Old Town Square (Staromĕstské námĕstí) and the Prague Castle farther north.
I suggest choosing a nice time to visit the place though, as the crowds get a bit rowdy during few times of the day.
Charles Bridge Tower

If you prefer a bit of quietness in your life, go to the Charles Bridge Tower. A few people visit this beautiful tower since the only way you can reach the top is facing my oldest enemy; the stairs. But I assure you, fellow traveler, that it is worth the way up. Especially if you plan to go up at Twilight. You'll catch the orange colors of sunset mix with the subtle blue colors of dusk plus the breath-taking illumination of the whole Prague city.
