By this I mean the overstimulation of the senses that happens while you are there.

My answer is probably Old Delhi. From the sheer population density, the near-constant honking, the utter chaos on the streets, the panoply of religions and ethnicities, the myriad scents and colours that pass you by as you travel down the narrow lanes, and not least the choking air pollution, it is certain to keep you on edge, not necessarily in a bad way.

Are there other cities that come close to, or even surpass, this?

      I went to my first glastonbury this past summer and loved it, so I’m going again in 24. However, I don’t get why you have all these down votes. The farm is turned into a massive city for 5 days, and can definitely be too overwhelming for some people

        Thanks. I felt like I had been to war the year I went. It was a muddy year when I went but the sheer size of and number of people it was overwhelming for me. It made me realise I prefer smaller festivals.
