What European city has had the longest stretch of peace? By
peace I mean no wars, raids, bombardmants, mass riots, etc
affecting the city or it's immediate environs.
Choose any city in Switzerland. Reykjavik has been pretty peaceful
too.
There was a bit of sectarian violence in Switzerland during
the reformation, think Geneva, John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, etc.

That was a while ago...

Ponte Delgado; provincial capital of the Azores since
shortly after the settlement could be a contender.

And when were the Azores settled?

Late 15th century .
