Name 30 European cities (from the top of your head) Especially non-European orgers! I'd like to see which cities stick in your mind and for what reason. | |

I'm surprised I didn't immediately think of certain biggies, like Paris or Prague. [Edited 2/1/14 6:54am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Ex-Moderator | I left Nice and Liverpool off the list. 2 other cities I've visited. Oops.
I was reminded when I looked at Lammas' lovely list. |

from the top of my head a mix of cities I know because of sports, cities I've visited, cities I know because of videogames, because of ancient or/and modern events, and of course because of general geography from high school:
Reykjavik Oslo Stockholm Helsinki Copenhagen Edinburgh Glasgow Belfast Dublin York Newcastle Manchester Birmingham Liverpool London Cardiff Liege Bruges Brussels Amsterdam Rotterdam Eindhoven Luxembourg Lille Paris Nantes Burdeaux Lyon Tolousse Marseille Monaco Barcelona Bilbao Madrid Valencia Seville Corduba Lisbon Porto Palma Mallorca Ibiza Valletta Palermo Naples Roma Florencia Parma Genoa Venecia Turin Basel Geneva Bern Zurich Innsbruck Vienna Salzburg Munich Sttutgart Dortmund Dusseldorf Frankfurt Hamburg Hannover Bremen Berlin Warsaw Krakow Prague Budapest Bucarest Sofia Kiev Minsk St.Petersburg Moscow Zagreb Split Belgrade Thessaloniki Athens Istanbul

as I feared, my knowledge of eastern europe/scandinavia is lacking
and of course the nerd in me should mention the old medieval glory of cities like Aachen, Toledo, Tarragona, Granada, Leon, Caen, Nottingham, Strasbourg, Rennes, Poitiers, Ravena...
and damn then there's the Vatican City | |

I'm afraid my approach for research is slightly flawed, in that only people interested in answering this kind of question (=interested in political geography) will post their response, so the results will hardly give a picture of what the average American can list. | |

But there's one orger from Croatia here who is sort of like a light at the end of the tunnel for all Eastern women, in my eyes (although she proudly claims that her part of Croatia still belongs to Italy and that they're more Italians than Croatians)! | |
