If your looking for one of city subarbs included there is some nice spots from Leghnamore hill in the southside one or two of the lanes off the main road have excellent views

What about if you go up passed Montenotti, and walks down lovers lane?

I always like looking towards along the Lee ar night on the bridge across from the bus station when I'm walking back from the train at night in college. Q=3 of the Boole library in UCC ives good enough views of the city (through glass though), but maybe if you can pull a few strings you might be able to get up to Q=4 for a slightly beter view!

If you have a car, go down this narrow road where the green marker is. On Google Maps it just shows as a tiny little cul-de-sac, but there's actually a narrow country road that runs paralell to the Airport Hill. Halfway down, you will see what is by far the most magnificent view of the whole city. I work near the airport and some evenings I will go to the trouble of driving down this narrow road/track on the way home from work just for this view. Sorry I don't have a pic for you.

The narrow road ends at this green marker, just so you know where you're gonna end up:

I'd hope they managed to find somewhere in the four years since they asked…

Best view of the city i've experienced is from Montenotte.

There's a little housing estate near apple that looks over the city can see all of bishopstown to the west and even parts of balincolig then sweeping views of city and over to blackrock ballintemple mahon and even railways station that's about as good as I've seen
