Definition
A place where tourists, visitors, hikers might like to visit and take photographs. A place, often high, with a good view of surrounding countryside or notable buildings. Sometimes called a vista point or scenic area/point, lookout or overlook.
Some are identified by signs, many more can be identified from local knowledge or from your own visit and judgement.
This tag identifies a good view. Interesting objects or buildings themselves should rather be tagged with tourism=attraction. See also landmark=*
Direction of view
The direction of the view may be described by the direction=* tag, either by giving the main direction or the left and right limits (in this order).
| direction=W | View roughly to the west |
| direction=S-W | View from the south to the west |
| direction=330-30 | Viewing angle of 60 degrees around the north |
| direction=70-110;250-290 | limited view to the east and west, no view to the north and south |
Examples
tourism=viewpoint name=Beachy Head direction=90-260 description=Views of the English Channel, France can be seen on a clear day
man_made=tower tower:type=observation tourism=viewpoint name=Panorama Tower
Rendering
On the Mapnik standard layer as a viewpoint icon with name if set.
