Vision is often what you think/see will happen in the future - it is an abstract idea or plan. View is simply what you see from your window for example.

Hi,

'Sight' is also of course the ability to see. In the sentence 'sight' would be a particular place that you want to visit and see and in that sense 'sightseeing' is visiting places of interest as a tourist. You would visit a famous city on holiday to see the sights such as a cathedral, a bridge or a castle, for example. 'View' is the picture/scene that you see in front of. You could say that you want to have a room in a hotel that has a view of the lake/river/sea.
