Christian America vs Secular Europe?

What is the largest city in Europe where two persons of the same sex can legally marry each other?

Not contract a civil union, which pointedly does not need to be consummated, and which therefore ought not to be restricted to unrelated same-sex couples?

But contract a legal marriage, which presumably does have to be consummated, thus requiring, in order to receive some legal benefit or privilege, engagement in sexual relations other than those between one man and one woman in marriage according to the traditional definition upheld by, among other people, Barack Obama?

I do not know which city it is. But I am prepared to guess that it is not the largest city in Europe, nor is it Europe's showcase to the world.
