City elevations

How high above sea level are the world's high cities? Each page shows the usually quoted elevation, the values in GeoNames, and a live map where you can click any street to read the ground height in your browser. No city has a single elevation, so the numbers are a guide; differences of tens or hundreds of metres inside one city are normal.

Elevations are rounded, usually quoted values. To find the height of any other place, use the elevation finder; for the height along a route, use the elevation profile.
