Random city in Netherlands generator

265 places, Rotterdam first

The Dutch list counts 265 towns and cities with 10,000 or more inhabitants in GeoNames. There is no city of a million here, and the order may surprise you: Rotterdam comes first with about 868,000, ahead of Amsterdam at 742,000, because the figures cover the city itself, not its region. 25 places reach 100,000, and 93 are under 20,000, like Lemmer in Friesland or Groenlo near the German border.

South Holland, with Rotterdam, The Hague and Leiden, has 52 places. Gelderland has 45 and North Brabant 41. Drenthe has five and Zeeland six, and neither has a town of 100,000, so big cities with Zeeland chosen leaves nothing to draw. Pick a province under Region to explore it one town at a time.

Several Dutch places are a village core that GeoNames counts separately from the municipality. That is why a few names, such as Almere Stad, appear with a suffix.
