Duisburg for me too. The second I've never heard of is Las Palmas (#75).

Kind of ridiculous to use municipalities as a way to measure this; Manchester is rather larger than quite a few cities higher up on the list and the inclusion of e.g. Wakefield (most of which is made up of old mining towns; the city takes up less than a quarter of the population of the district!) is risible.

I agree, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_Europe is a mess, with 3 vastly different estimates for each city

London. I mean I've heard of Londyn, but not London.

(Seriously, Bradford with Plovdiv being the next one.)

Yeah, same issue with the international list of course. This is better but EU-only.

Heard of all of them but Bydgoszcz (#79)

Essen

So Germany has a city whose name means "to eat"? Hope they have good food, at least. Tongue

32. Zaragoza

This said, I've heard of plenty of cities below that one, including Wakefield, Utrecht and Malmö.
