Hint
Answer
Known for its tulip fields and windmills, Yet its capital is where "Hague" meets "Amster".
Netherlands
A city that never sleeps, Where Broadway dazzles and Times Square leaps.
New York City
Where lions roam and Table Mountain stands tall, Mandela's legacy echoes in its Parliament Hall.
Cape Town/South Africa
Land of temples, tigers, and a sacred river's flow, Where the Taj Mahal's beauty makes hearts glow.
India/Agra
Down under, where the Opera House gleams, Kangaroos hop freely in its sun-kissed beams.
Sydney/Australia
Nestled in the Alps with chocolate and banks, This neutral nation charms with its serene ranks.
Switzerland
City of canals and Carnival delight, Where gondolas glide 'neath the Venetian moonlight.
Venice
From sushi to sumo, cherry blossoms bloom, In a land where tradition meets neon-lit room.
Japan
Where the Eiffel Tower sparkles and haute couture reigns, This city of romance soothes hearts' refrains.

Where pyramids rise in desert sands vast, Ancient wonders echo a civilization's past.

For some of these, allowing the country makes no sense, because e.g. France is not a city, and the question specifically asks for a city.

Good to see something poetic.

Maybe you just need to click "resubmit", by the way? Changes should go through straight away, normally.
