La Paz is a city which can be a sight in itself, and there are several viewing places or miradores offering impressive panoramas.
Mirador Killi Killi, from Avenida Sucre take Avenida La Bandera and then walk straight up, the mirador is on the right side. You can get the best view of La Paz from here. No entrance fee. You can either walk or take a taxi to get there.
Parque Laikacota, at the top of Av. Ejercito west of the city center. The best panorama from within the bowl, with clear views of the city and the rugged terrain to the east, all the way to Mt. Illimani. Admission is Bs 3.5.
Mirador Monticulo, next to Plaza España. This small park (free entry) has a church and lots of trees which block much of the city, but the clear view of Illimani makes it an evening hotspot for couples.
In the heart of downtown, Av. Camacho points straight to Illimani, and from the intersection with the Prado it's framed by skyscrapers in an interesting juxtaposition.
