PANAMA!
Van Halen, spring break, population 35,600.
For foreigners, probably Abbottabad (population: 275,890) due to being the site of Osama Bin Laden's compound.
For Pakistanis themselves, it's a bit harder to determine, as I'm not able to find reliable population statistics for smaller settlements. However, some contenders are probably Nathia Gali, Chitral, Skardu and Ziarat. All of these towns are in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan, which don't have as much population density as e.g. the plains of Punjab. They're also fairly popular tourist destinations for Pakistanis who want to take a break from the heat. Ziarat could be especially famous, as Muhammad Ali Jinnah (founder of Pakistan) spent some of his last days in a cottage there. It even appears on the 100-rupee note.
Puerto Hurraco. Population 100. Everybody in Spain recognises its name because of a shooting that got burned into the collective mind.
Darwin, Australia.
Famous for being bombed by the Japanese repeatedly during World War 2
I'd go with Port Arthur, Tasmania. 251 people from the 2016 census and the massacre is still burned into many people's memories.
Probably Regina. And itβs famous for rhyming white schmamima.
I legitimately though Oregon was a State, I didn't know it was also a city.
From my country I'm going to be generous and say Barcelona. Second biggest city here. I doubt next bigger cities are universally known.
I think Seville and Pamplona are well known, for the Barber of Seville and the running of the bulls respectively.
