How it's used
Geographical names of foreign cities are often followed by 市 to clarify that they are cities, especially when the name itself might be unfamiliar to the listener. While Nagasaki is commonly referred to just as 長崎, adding 市 provides a formal touch often seen in travel itineraries or news reports.
