That's rather inaccurate. In most of Europe, the regulation for flying
over a city is the same as it is in the US: you must comply with the
regulations for the airspace you are in, you must be at an altitude at
which you won't cause a damage to people or property on the ground if
your engine quits, and you must be at a minimum altitude (which is being
made ICAO-compliant over Europe - i.e. the same minimum altitude rules
that exist in the US FARs with virtually the same wording).
