Elevation of the city in metres above sea level as GeoNames records it: its own elevation where one is given, else the height of its point on a terrain model (SRTM or GTOPO30). One point stands for the whole city, so a hilly city spans a range of heights around it. Sources: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), GHSL UCDB R2024A (CC BY 4.0), Wikidata names (CC0).
