Ok the longest name of a city in the world is:

Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit

(163 letters),The official name of Bangkok.

Translation: The city of angels, the big city, livingplace of the smaragdgreen boedha, the inpenetratable city of de god Indra, the big capital who is gifted with 9 precious gems, the happy city, rich to an enormeous royal palace that equals the heavenly livingplace where the reincarnated god rules , a city given by Indra and build by Vishnukarn.

Ofcourse this has the world record.

Now you know :) .
