This random city generator samples from more than 69,000 places in GeoNames' cities5000 file, which covers towns and cities with over 5,000 people. Each result shows the country flag and code, the population, and coordinates with a link to OpenStreetMap. Type a two-letter country code to keep the draw inside one country.
How to use the random city generator
- Drag the How many slider to choose 1 to 8 cities.
- Optionally type a two-letter country code, like US, IN, or GB.
- Click Pick. A single draw never repeats a city.
- Use View map to open a city on OpenStreetMap, or Copy all for the names.
Things to do with a random city pick
- Travel ideas, when you can't decide where to go next.
- Geography quizzes: name the country, the region, or whether it's a capital.
- Creative writing: set your next scene somewhere you've never been.
- Games: challenge friends to name one thing each city is known for.
Frequently asked questions
How many cities are in the random city generator?
The current GeoNames release has more than 69,000 places, each with a population above 5,000.
Are the results random?
Yes. Each click sends a fresh seed to the data API, and every city that matches your filter has the same chance. A town of 6,000 is as likely as Tokyo.
Can I draw multiple cities at the same time?
Yes. Set the slider up to 8 and click Pick.
Will the same city appear twice if I pick several?
No. A single draw never repeats a city. Click Pick again for a new set.
