There will be pictures in spoilers. Try to name as many as you can without cheating. All the images should have some recognizable feature or landmark of the city in question. Some are easier than others, but I don't think any of them are too obvious. For example, I'd never put a picture of the Eiffel Tower for Paris, but I may have a view down the Champs-Elysees.
Warning: image heavy!
When answering, please put your answers in spoilers so you don't ruin it for others!

1. Shanghai - View of the Bund. Fairly easy one here, but didn't want to put anything TOO obvious like the Pudong skyline, but the Chinese flag is clearly visible in the foreground.
2. Mumbai - View of the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Gateway of India
3. London - Cabot Square in Canary Wharf. Didn't want to put Big Ben or the Palace or anything.
4. Istanbul - Sultan Ahmed Mosque. One of the easier ones as well.
5. Rio de Janeiro - View from the hills. Didn't want to make it too easy and put Christ the Redeemer, so I used a picture taken FROM the location instead.
6. St. Petersburg - Winter Palace. You had to have been familiar with the landmark, but I made it snowy so perhaps you could guess
7. Chicago - Easiest way to tell would be the Hancock building on the left side.
8. Cairo - Perhaps you could tell from the river, palm trees, and general architecture/environment of the city.
9. Berlin - Sony Center...kind have have to be familiar with the city, I suppose. Didn't want to use the Brandenberg Gates or other famous landmarks.
10. Singapore - This is a view from the famous Marina hotel. You can make out some famous buildings from Singapore's CBD in the background.
11. New York City - Looking toward the Essex House from Central Park. One of the easier ones I think, for Americans.
12. Tokyo - City Hall of Tokyo. It's a (more or less) famous building.
13. Paris - View of the Grand Palais and the Alexander III bridge. A decently well-known landmark of Paris.
14. Riyadh - The Kingdom Tower (perhaps the most well-known skyscraper in the Middle East)
15. Sydney - You can see the Opera house in the background. One of the easier ones.
16. Tehran - Azadi Tower. If you're not familiar with the monument, then I'm not sure how you could've gotten this one.
17. Amsterdam - Amsterdam's famous city layout should be apparent.
18. Beijing - CCTV headquarters are very striking (the twisted cube building)
19. Rome - St. Peter's Basilica should be well-known.
20. Monaco - similar to the Rio de Janeiro one...you have to be familiar with the city layout.
