Hey there, geography whiz! Think you’ve mastered the world’s capital cities? Let’s take a scenic detour and shine the spotlight on the places that don’t always get top billing: the world’s second-largest cities.
Because sometimes, it’s not the biggest city that leaves the strongest impression. These runner-up cities are bursting with personality—rich in history, culture, and character—and often play a huge role in shaping their countries. From elegant colonial streets and buzzing arts scenes to coffee-scented mornings and dramatic volcanic backdrops, these cities quietly steal the show.
