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?

    Dhaka, Bangladesh! By far the most sensory overload city in the world. If you ever go there you will know what I mean. I have been to all those cities mentioned here and they have nothing on Dhaka! The fact that you can pack that many people in that small of a size itself should be the 8th wonder of the world!
