World Rankings

Superlatives for the world's cities and countries — the largest, the highest, the lowest and the ones at the very edges of the map.

About these rankings

Click a city to see its live local time, time zone and sunrise times, or a country to browse its cities. See also the country index, the world clock and the time zone list.
