Default Which city has the most massive crowds?

Which city do you think seems to have the most massive crowds in both the inner cities and throughout the cities in general?

Not really talking about the DENSITY of crowds or how crowded in feels, but which cities seem to have the biggest masses of humanity?

Of the cities I've been to only New York around Times Square really had that feel. Runners up would be Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, and way behind the likes of Sydney, Melbourne, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Washington DC.

I would assume Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, Sao Paolo would be the closest contenders? Not sure about London it doesn't seem to have the massive concentration that NY does.

Parts of NYC (especially Midtown and Downtown Manhattan) is often very crowded.
Times Square most of the time is a nightmare. The only quite time in NYC is on Sunday mornings.'

Montreal, QC during summer is often very busy and traffic is horrible. St. Catherine and certain other streets are crowded almost all the time.

Stockholm, Sweden was sparsely populated even when weather was nice for the week I went.

You forgot to include New York city itself in the poll!

not saying it is the most crowded because i would assume that title would go to somehwere in east asia (tokyo, shanghai, etc) but central London looks like a human traffic jam constantly, especially Oxford and Regent St and all the high street shopping areas during business hours...more so then Manhattan in comparison.

To me London actaully appears to be more crowded than Seoul, London operates around its central core (West End, Piccadillly, Regent, Oxford and Bond streets, Covent Garden etc) a lot more than Seoul does, and many of thoes areas in London have streets running through them, crowding the people onto the foot path, as opposed to Myeondong in which their are lots of pedestrian only areas.


I cannot comment on the other cities.

Hong Kong omg what a culture shock for this little antipodean used to wide open spaces and plenty of room for everyone....!

Btw I adore that place. Very low crime. I would live there in a heartbeat.
