See The 5 Smallest Cities In The World By Population

Whenever we hear about any destination the first question that pops in our mind is which city it is in? Usually, for us, there is nothing like a small city. We are actually not aware of what the smallest city in the world is. It is because generally big cities get lots of attention due to their impressive structures so that we often forget about the smallest cities. 

We think a small city = town. But, here we are wrong. Many smaller cities in the world need exposure. But, before we deep dive into those cities, let us first understand what the smallest city in the world is.

What is the Smallest City in the World?

Remember, the smallest city is not equal to the town. A small city is small in every sense – population and geographic area. The small cities that we have covered in this blog are definitely visit-worthy because they are pretty impressive too.

1. Hum, Croatia

Featuring first on the list of smallest cities in the world by population is Hum, Croatia. This is a city only with just 30 people.

3. City of London, England

Coming up next on the list is the city of London, England. Within the big, full of life London city limits, there is a smaller city known as the city of London. It is known as the square mile because it is just hardly more than one square mile in size.

5. Vatican City, Italy

Last but not least on the list is Vatican City, Italy. It is technically not a city but an independent city-state that resides in only 110 acres. This city is small both in area and population. From its pictures, you will feel like many people live in this but this look is completely misleading.
