Expressing Age

Hola Amigos, I am working on figuring out how to express the age of places in Spanish and I am caught up on whether to use "mayor", "antigua", or "viejo". For example:
"Neuva York es mas grande que Londres, pero Londres es una ciudad mas ...."
Or would this sentence not even support either of the three options?

I would go for either "...una ciudad más vieja" or "...una ciudad más antigua". Though I would lean more to describing a city like London as "más vieja" and perhaps a city more like Rome would be "más antigua". A native can correct me if I'm wrong with all of this but something sounds wrong about using "mayor" for a comparison with the age of a city.
