Presentation of our World cities database of 4 510 988 towns around the world, accessible in four distinct formats: CSV, Json, SQL and XML. We have refined the Geoname database to show only metropolises, administrative centres and villages. All this data is carefully linked to geographical areas and sub-divisions, where available.

Each document provides information such as: Geoname_ID, City, Alternate_Name, Country_Code, Region, Sub_region, Latitude, Longitude, Elevation, Population, Timezone, Fcode_Name. For clarification on these elements, please consult our FAQ section below.

The World cities database contains data for every city in the world in separate files. Each archive contains data for a specific country. Here is an example of what can be found in a file:
