All 50k+ Cities in the Netherlands with a Map

Exactly, Arnhem-Zuid is part of the municipality Arnhem, it shouldn't be there. When I saw the dot so close to Arnhem I started thinking: is Elst really that big?

Zaandam is a part of the Municipality of Zaanstad, the most populous part. So these shouldn't be separate answers, you can perhaps accept both answers as "Zaanstad".

In the same way, Hoofddorp is part of the Municipality of Haarlemmermeer.

In the Netherlands there are a lot of municipalities that are not a town or a city, but a larger area with multiple towns and villages. For example, Westland is a municipality with about 115,000 people, but it's largest towns are Naaldwijk and 's-Gravenzande, both home to somewhere between 22,000 and 23,000 people.

The problem is, that many of these municipalities are quite unknown to the general public, while the bigger towns are much more widely known. For example, most Dutch people have heard about the city of Drachten (44,870 people), but the municipality of Smallingerland (56,173 people), in which it's located, will probably not ring a bell to many of them.

The town of Heerhugowaard can be added. The town has 58.387 asa of January 1st 2021.
