What’s the second-most populous city in Europe?
Istanbul (if you count it as Europe half is in Asia) 1- Moscow, 8,297,000 2- Istanbul, 8,260,000 3- London, 7,074,000 These are figures for cities with legally defined boundaries, with recognised urban status and with its own local government. The figures do not take into account suburban settlements or other heavily populated areas outside city boundaries. * Paris would be 3rd above London if you include it urban areas.
