Il Est Cinq Heures, Paris S’Éveille - J. Dutronc
Any list of songs about European cities is not complete without this classic.

He describes the grand Montparnasse railway station as "no more than a carcass". When he wrote the song, the old station was being demolished to make room for the new Tour Montparnasse building.

Hometown Glory - Adèle (London)
You may not know it, but this song is an ode to London. Adèle is very attached to her hometown of London. She wrote this song after an argument with her mother, who wanted her to study in Liverpool. Adèle refused: she felt in no way connected to the city of Liverpool and she had experienced so much in London already.

Vienna - Billy Joel
