'''Cities''' in [[GTA]] games are large population centres. Many GTA games (or levels) contain only one city, but [[GTA San Andreas]] and [[GTA IV]] contain multiple.

GTA games are replete with fictional cities, many of which are based on real-life locations:

*'''[[Liberty City]]''' is based on [[wp:New York City| New York City]] in the [[GTA 1 Era]], [[GTA III Era]] and [[GTA IV Era]].

*'''[[Alderney]]''' is technically a separate state to [[Liberty City]] in the [[GTA IV Era]], containing '''[[Alderney City]]''' ([[wp:Jersey City|Jersey City]] and [[wp:Newark, New Jersey|Newark]]). However, the entire game is referred to as being in Liberty City.

*'''[[London]]''' is a rendition of the real city in ([[GTA London 1969]] and [[GTA London 1961]])

*'''[[Vice City]]''' is a counterpart to [[wp:Miami, Florida|Miami]] ([[GTA]], [[GTA Vice City]], and [[GTA Vice City Stories]]).

*'''[[San Andreas]]''' in [[GTA 1]] is based on [[wp:San Francisco|San Francisco]]. '''San Andreas''' in [[GTA San Andreas]] is an entire state comprised of three major cities: '''[[Los Santos]]''' ([[wp:Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]), '''[[San Fierro]]''' ([[wp:San Francisco, California|San Francisco]]) and '''[[Las Venturas]]''' ([[wp:Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]]).

*'''[[Anywhere City]]''' in [[GTA 2]] is not based on any specific city

*'''[[Carcer City]]''' is most likely [[wp:Detroit| Detroit]], and is said to be neighboring Liberty City. Whilst not featured in any game, it is mentioned in [[GTA III]], [[GTA San Andreas]], and [[GTA Liberty City Stories]]; and is the setting for [[wp:Manhunt (video game)|Manhunt]].
