Anyway, some others:
Russia - St Petersburg
Australia - Melbourne
Spain - Barcelona (which will piss off the Catalans)
Austria - Salzburg
Netherlands - Rotterdam
Poland - Kraków
Norway - Bergen
UK - Edinburgh (at least for tourists)
Thailand - Chiang Mai
Japan - Osaka
Countries like Germany, Italy and even France have too many contenders to choose one. For Germany it’s hard to even pick the first city.
There are also some where the “first city” for tourists is not actually the largest, “most important” city in the country generally speaking. Examples:
Brazil - Rio de Janeiro
Morocco - Marrakech
South Africa - Capetown
Croatia - Split
