The darkest city in the world is Bogot in Colombia. The average daily sunshine time here is only 3.64. The brightest city in the world is Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, with an average of 8.84 hours of sunshine.

Other cities in the top 10 dark places are Reykjavik (Iceland), Luxembourg, Ljubljana (Slovenia), Wellington (New Zealand), Vilnius (Lithuania), Prague (Czech Republic), Vienna (Austria) and Taipei (Taiwan).

Saudi Arabia is actually a huge desert, so it gets an enormous amount of sun, and Riyadh is located in that desert.
