A nice sight to look at.
Kultureller Hintergrund
For many Russians, the 'dacha' (summer house) is a sanctuary. A 'прекрасный вид' of a forest or river is often more valued than modern amenities. There is a popular subculture in St. Petersburg of 'roof tours' specifically to find the most 'прекрасный вид' of the historic city center. In the dense 'sleeping districts' of Russian cities, a high-floor apartment with a 'прекрасный вид' is a major status symbol compared to lower floors facing other buildings. Classic Russian writers often used 'прекрасный вид' to signal a character's emotional state or a moment of clarity and peace.
The 'Na' Rule
Always use the preposition 'на' (on) to say what the view is of. 'Вид на море', 'Вид на горы'.
De-voicing
Remember that 'вид' sounds like 'veet'. If you pronounce the 'd' clearly, it sounds non-native.
