Pick a random real city anywhere in the world, generate a made-up town name, drop a random pin on the map or get a random environment for a story or drawing.
Press Generate for a random real city from 237 cities on every continent, from megacities like Tokyo and São Paulo to small places like Reykjavík and Queenstown. Each card shows the country (and state or province for the US, Canada, Australia and India), the continent, rough metro population and coordinates. Filter by continent, capital cities, US cities or size, set How many and keep No repeats ticked for a list of different cities. Switch Show to Full details for coordinates and population in the text output and CSV.
Set Generate to Town names (made up) for invented place names in three styles: English village names like Ashbury or Thornleigh on Sea, American small town names like Cedar Falls Junction or Fort Maplewood, and fantasy names like Kaelmire or Frosthold Crossing. Each town gets a population and something it is known for, ready for novels, tabletop RPG maps, games and school projects. The names are generated, so any match with a real town is coincidence.
Choose Random location (coordinates) to get a random point as decimal latitude and longitude plus degrees-minutes-seconds, the distance to the nearest listed city and a Google Maps link in the full output. Anywhere on Earth picks a truly uniform point on the globe, so about 70% of results land in the ocean; Within 10, 50 or 200 km of a city keeps points near where people live, and the continent filter still applies. Use it for geography games, virtual travel with Street View, photography challenges or map test data.
