A great family-friendly alternative to Table Mountain, it's still a good walk but not as long. Great views, although avoid going for midday as the cannon is pretty deafening close up!

What a square! You climb up (a lot of) steps not quite knowing what you'll find and then there you are, surrounded by some fantastic buildings in an amazing hilltop square. Beautiful.

My boyfriend and I had a day in Geneva and we took the cable car to the top of Mount Seleve and walked back down. Great views and a lovely way to see the area.

The Menara KL is on top of this hill, so if you avoid the commercial tower climbing, you can enjoy the forest reserve here. Great for a little walk and to escape the hot sun for a bit.

We took a walk to the top of this hill and discovered more than we ever thought! I knew there was a citadel up there, which is now an impressive looking hotel. But the Cave Church was the impromptu highlight, totally unexpected! Views, amazing.
