* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' tityity of New New York has famous landmarks from across the world, on a single beach. This is explained by the city having a supervillain mayor at one point, [[MonumentalTheft who stole them all]], then put his face on [[RushmoreRefacement Mount Rushmore]], which he also stole.

* Gotham City in the 60s ''Series/{{Batman}}'' TV show. It has landmarks from everywhere with the name "Gotham" slapped on the front. Including a clock tower named ''Big Benjamin''.

* The city of Ankh-Morpork in Terry Pratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series is one such city, in a CultureChopSuey sort of way. Clearly identifiable inspirations that stay prominent in multiple books include 18th to 19th century UsefulNotes/{{London}} and UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity for the economy and culture, [[MerchantCity Renaissance-era]] [[CityOfCanals Venice]] for the system of government, ''UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}}'' of all places for the geography and occasionally UsefulNotes/{{Paris}} for a bit of variety. But basically, any time Pratchett feels like doing a WholePlotReference to a work of fiction set in a particular city, he''ll find some way to squeeze the necessary architecture and cultural traditions into Ankh-Morpork somewhere.

* Parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''. Numbah 2 wakes up to a vista that features pretty much ''every'' famous landmark there is; he suddenly catches onto something being off by the time he gets to the Sphinx. Turns out to be a miniature golf course in a basement with all the landmarks having been properly shrunken down, along with Numbah 2 himself.
* On that note, Creator/CartoonNetwork's 2004-06 identity revolved around what's informally known as "Advertising/CNCity", where the settings of multiple CN shows (including the aforementioned ''KND'') have been fused into a single setting. Thus, the KND's treehouse, the [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls City of Townsville]] and [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy the Peach Creek cul-de-sac]] are essentially right next to each other (with road signs indicating [[Franchise/{{DCAU}} Metropolis and Gotham City]] are somewhat nearby). Due to this it's also a CityWithNoName, though some bumpers seemed to call it the "City of Downtown".

** It would've been even funnier if it also had [[Franchise/{{Superman}} a Daily Planet office from the "actual" Metropolis]].
* Basin City features a Chrysler Building, Tar Pits, a midwestern farm and Palm Trees

* This is how ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' [[TheMovie movie]] solves the SeparateSimpsonsGeographyThing. It's hinted in one episode where Sideshow Bob takes Bart to a location just outside of Springfield where five states meet, including Minnesota, New Jersey, and ''[[RuleOfFunny Hawaii]]'', which does not border any other US state.

** IIRC the landmarks in ''Babe: [=PiTC=]'' are all subtly different from the originals - for instance, the WTC has cut-off corners, giving the twin towers irregular octagonal cross-sections.
** Sounds like he was visiting the Vegas strip.

* The view from Babe's window at the animal hotel in ''Film/BabePigInTheCity'' includes the Hollywood sign, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Rio de Janiero statue of Christ, the World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, what appears to be a Moscow cathedral, and possibly other famous landmarks. Signage in the film indicates the city Babe visits is called "Metropolis", which has a Metropolis Gun Club and Metropolis Institute of Medicine.

The City of Everywhere is a setting which only exists in comedic works. It usually claims to be one or more famous cities from RealLife, but contains an inexplicable and highly suspicious selection of features from all over the HollywoodAtlas. The City Of Everywhere often has an assortment of landmarks and local color which in RealLife obviously couldn't be found on the same ''continent''.

* ''DaveBarry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need'' has diagrams labeled "Map of Downtown Vienna," "Map of Downtown London," "Map of Downtown Paris," "Map of Downtown Berlin or Munich," "Map of Downtown Ireland," and "Map of Downtown Cairo," which are obviously the same silly drawing. The channel which runs down the middle of the drawing is triply labeled: "Seine River," "Thames River," "Nile River."
* The city of Ankh-Morpork in Terry Pratchett's ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series is one such city, in a CultureChopSuey sort of way. Clearly identifiable inspirations that stay prominent in multiple books include 18th to 19th century {{London}} and UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity for the economy and culture, [[MerchantCity Renaissance-era]] [[CityOfCanals Venice]] for the system of government, ''{{Seattle}}'' of all places for the geography and occasionally {{Paris}} for a bit of variety. But basically, any time Terry Pratchet feels like doing a WholePlotReference to a work of fiction set in a particular city, he''ll find some way to squeeze the necessary architecture and cultural traditions into Ankh-Morpork somewhere.

* ''Disney/BigHero6'' is set in San Fransokyo. [[CaptainObvious It combines elements of San Francisco and Tokyo, so you get trams with Oriental-style roofs, Japanese signages everywhere, and the Golden Gate has torii gates as its towers.]]

* A wartime issue of ''TheBeano'' had Lord Snooty concoct a plan to confuse the Luftwaffe pilots bombing his home town by surrounding it with landmarks "borrowed" by the RAF from all around the world. These included the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Taj Mahal, and ''Table Mountain''.
