Amsterdam - Literally, Amsterdam. It’s one of my favorite games Italy - Concordia, Viticulture
I want to buy a collection of board games for my wife based on places shes traveled. Its one of the main reasons her favorite game series is Ticket to Ride and most of its spin-offs. I dont care about the game being made in said location, just that its themed around it.
So far I have two:
Spain/Barcelona - Sagrada Greece - Santorini
Missing:
Italy/Rome/Tuscany - NYC - Boston - Poland - France/Paris - Belgium - Iceland - Mexico/Cancun - Holland/Amsterdam - Germany - Canada -
Looking for good recommendations! Thanks in advance.

Concordia for Italy is pretty perfect. NYC - Tammany Hall? France - one of the West Kingdoms games from Garphill? (I like Paladins personally.) Germany - Hansa Teutonica or Quacks of Quedlingburg Canada - A Few Acres of Snow?

There's a Website called Board Game Geek (or 'BGG') that has an extensive searchable database. Titles that include (or simply are) the names of cities are so common that it's a 'eurogame' cliché. The entry for any of those is likely to include a link to a "family" list of other games involving the same city (or region). And you can run a search on such terms (or others such as historical periods) to find lists - narrowed with such other criteria as matter to you - via the advanced search.
This is a great suggestion for everyone!
The following options are coming to my mind:
* For NYC: Get on Board: New York & London * For Paris/France: Get on Board: Paris & Roma * For Italy: As was already said by others, both Concordia and Viticulture are great options :) * Germany: I remember that one of the expansion maps for Power Grid was about Germany
Viticulture, for Tuscany.
Or Castles of Tuscany
I only have a few recommendations France - Fromage, or Postcards, or Let's Go to France (not sure if it's out yet). Italy - Viticulture Mexico - Chocolatl (not sure if it's still in print)
Portugal - Azul Austria/Vienna - Grand Austria Hotel
Barcelona for Barcelona Carcassonne for Carcassonne Let’s go to Tokyo for Tokyo Brass Birmingham for Birmingham Brass Lancashire for Lancashire All Facade Games: Salem 1692, Bristol 1350, Tortuga 1667, Deadwood 1876, Hollywood 1947
Marrakesh for Morocco. It's also a really, really good game, I love it, one of my favorites from Feld
'Valletta' for Malta

Tuscany: Viticulture NYC: Manhattan
Stefan Feld has a series of games named after cities. I've played a number of them and have yet to hit a bad one.
Everyone's saying Viticulture, but I think for Italy you should get Cinque Terre, especially if you like Ticket to Ride. It's kinda like TTR, but instead of completing routes, you're just picking up and delivering vegetables. It's super chill, if not a bit long.
