Ask it the other way, too. What's the smallest European city Americans can name?
Muff, Ireland. They have a fantastic diving club.
It would have been Fucking, Austria. But it finally broke under the pressure and was renamed. I have not dedicated any brain cells to remembering what exactly its new name is, which I guess is the intended effect.
Well, as a consolation there is Rottenegg in Germany. Not nearly as catchy though.
Amalfi, Italy. My great grandpa was born there, though he immigrated with his family to the US pretty young.
Does Avdiikva count?
Vatican City.
I've likely seen some smaller ones in places like Tom Scott videos, but can't name any offhand.
Stratford-upon-Avon ~100k (had to look up the population)
Or if England no longer counts for European, Corniglia, Italy (part of Cinque de Terra)
Gimmelwald Switzerland, but I've been there a few times and the pretense was never being there lol
Best town in the world.
Probably the smallest that could be called a city is Dieppe, because a Huguenot ancestor of mine was from there. The smallest municipality that I can think of easily is John o' Groats, which is reasonably well-known for its location.
Hell Norway population: 1589
