La Paz
Bolivia

A view of downtown La Paz, one of the highest cities in the world at some 12,800 feet.

La Paz has sometimes been called the highest capital city in the world, which is not really accurate since it is not Bolivia's capital. Still, it probably does hold the distinction of having the world's highest major airport at nearly 14,000 feet. (as well as the world's highest golf course, etc.)
