CITY (places, not administrative areas) Open geographic database Source: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0) · Data: export of 06/11/2026

The 100 largest places among the cities we hold for the 14 countries. Population counts the city proper as GeoNames lists it, so figures can differ from national statistics (metropolitan areas are not included). Germany and Norway cities open the full city guide; the others open the country dossier at that city.
