Philly extends from sea level along the rivers and marshy areas, to over 400' in western sectors of the city. I live around 20' above sea level.

City center is at 158m/518ft, but Zagreb spans heights from 122m/400ft (where I live) to 1035m/3396ft (Sljeme, the peak of Medvednica mountain).

110 metres above sea level, on top of a hill and about 2 km back from the sea. I can see about 100 km of coastline.

Happy to not live by the beach, even though I grew up by a tidal lagoon. There was a 15 metre tsunami here about 400 years ago. I wouldn't want to be living in town (8 metres), if that happened again.
