Singapore is not a distinguishable city. Maybe she or he meant Marina Bay Sands buildings

Good list. I'd add to this Rio, Florence, Amsterdam and Vancouver. Also, maybe LA for the universally recognized Hollywood sign, and Las Vegas for the Strip.

There are several other very prominent NYC landmarks aside from the Statue of Liberty.

PuebloFuerte-those images of Cartagena are magnificent-still need to get myself there for a long weekend! However, I do have question about which places are considered "major cities" Cartagena itself isn't really the primary commerce, etc. center in it's own region (Barranquilla).. nor is Venice. That said, I agree, both EXTREMELY distinguishable.

Here are a few that I think would warrant at very least, strong consideration.

1. Rome
2. Washington DC
3. San Francisco
4. Amsterdam
5. Moscow
6. Paris
7. New York City
8. Sydney
9. Shanghai (Hong Kong MIGHT be more on volume-but Shanghai deserves note)
10. Istanbul

I think these would be difficult to confuse for someone with general world/travel knowledge and exposure to it.

I agree. But even those aren't immediately recognisable.

Melbourne is a great city. But distinguishable? I don't really think so
