How many cities with a population of more than 5 million have you visited?

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Near misses - Atlanta (passed through on a train which stopped there for a very short time - and was also due to go there this summer for a proper visit), Mumbai (changed planes there).

[Balderdasha]

You can put me down for Khartoum.

Added, thanks.

[3 Colours Red]

I would post my list, but I'm in a linguistic quandary whether one word actually qualifies for the word "list".

(It's London, obvs)

Ditto.

[Balderdasha]

Miami, Atlanta, Johannesburg can be added for me

Added, thanks.

[elguapo4]

We need Tactical Genius here so we can knock Lagos off the list.

[Patrick Thistle]

I've got 7 on the list but they've all been claimed already.

Tactical Genius would be able to claim at least one of the current outstanding ones

Just six for me (London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Toronto and LA) and, to be honest, I'm surprised it's that many.

[Balderdasha]

Double figures:

New York City
Los Angeles
Paris
London
Chicago
Hong Kong
Madrid
Atlanta
Barcelona
Washington DC

And two airport only: Houston and Miami

[Wouter D]

Wiki says that Busan has a population of either 3.4 million or 7 million depending on whether you're counting the central or wider metropolitan population. I think the UN figures are for central metro area.

Wiki also says that Barcelona has a population of 1.6 million (city), 4.8 million (urban), or 5.4 million (metro).

[longeared]

New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, everybody talk about pop music. And an extra half point for going through Philadelphia on the train.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I've been to 10, and all on holiday (not work). Including London which I have been on holiday to since I stopped living there.

New York, London, Paris, KL, Miami, Singapore, Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, Barcelona.

I'm surprised not to find Berlin on the list, if they've used the same measurement as they have for Philadelphia.

[Third rate Leszno]

13, all already ticked off.

(London, Paris, NYC, LA, Toronto, Miami, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Madrid, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Singapore, Istanbul).

[Muukalainen]

Seven for me, I'll take Bangalore if it's not yet taken:

New York City
Bangalore
Paris
London
Dallas
Barcelona
Johannesburg

[Gangster Octopus]

I missed Singapore in the list, so please add that to my total.

[S. aureus]

Tokyo, Osaka, Istanbul, Guangzhou, Los Angeles, Paris, Seoul, London, Chicago, Hong Kong, Madrid, Houston, Dallas, Toronto, Barcelona, Washington.
All already taken.

[ooh aah]

18 in total. Of the ones not taken so far I've been to Tianjin, Jakarta and Nanjing.

Oh and Hangzhou

[ursus arctos]

20, but none that haven't been taken yet.

[Balderdasha]

We're up to 58 out of 81 cities visited so far.

[Balderdasha]

Wiki also says that Barcelona has a population of 1.6 million (city), 4.8 million (urban), or 5.4 million (metro).

Hmm, yes, it appears that a bit of artistic license has been taken with that list, but it's the list I've started with so I'm sticking with it for the purposes of this thread.

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

18 - you can add Kinshasa as one not already ticked off

[lambers]

Seven for me: Tokyo, New York, Paris, London, Chicago, Madrid, Toronto.

Could be eight if you count an overnight stay (can't say I slept) in the waiting room of LA Union station. I did grab a sandwich from the kiosk for breakfast.

[Satchmo Distel]

I don't have any new ones to add - Istanbul is the largest and Miami is the one I have visited most often, living only 90 miles away. Favourite is Toronto, apart from the temperatures (although I'd prefer Toronto's temperature in any month to that of Miami in May to October)..

[Southport Zeb]

14, all already claimed.
