London.
Taiwan, or Chinese Taipei as it is recognised by the International Olympic Committee, has never hosted the Olympics. In fact technically a country never hosts the Olympics; they are awarded to a city. So, for instance, London, of which the British are justifiably proud, has hosted the games three times, but the USA has hosted the games more times, as they have been awarded to various cities (St Louis, Los Angeles twice, Atlanta, Lake Placid twice, Squaw Valley and Salt Lake City). If the games were ever to be held in Taiwan, they would probably be awarded to Taipei, which is Taiwan's biggest city.
The first time the Summer Olympics were in London was in 1908. The second time was in 1948. London is the only city to have hosted the modern Summer Olympics three times, and the United Kingdom is one of only two countries that has hosted more than two modern Summer Olympics to date (the other is the United States, which has hosted four).

Yes.The above is correct but nothing else has been mentioned as to give some other information to this answer. Yes! The City of London did host the Olympic Games in 1908, 1948 and 2012. This has made it the only City that has hosted the Games three times. The other city that has hosted the Games more than once is the City of Los Angeles in the USA that has hosted it twice - 1932 and 1984.

Olympic game host cities are allocated based on the merits of the application and how recently the nation has hosted a games. That is to say, a city will not be allocated a games if the country that it is in has recently hosted a games. Since the allocation is based on country and not continent, the fact that European countries have hosted more is of little relevance. A simple factor may be that Europe has more countries with a suitable climate and the capacity to host a game than any other continent.
Australasia/Oceania have hosted the Summer Olympic Games twice. These Games were in 1956 in Melbourne, and 2000 in Sydney. Europe, Asia and North America have hosted the Summer Games on more than two occasions each. South America is due to host its first Summer Games in 2016, whilst Africa (and Antarctica) have never hosted one.

No German city has hosted the Olympics more than once. Berlin hosted the Summer Games in 1936, Garmisch-Partenkirhen hosted the Winter Games in 1936, and Munich hosted the Summer Games in 1972. Berlin was scheduled to host the 1916 Games but they were cancelled due to World War I.
The United States has hosted 60% more modern Olympics than any other country (267% more than any country that is not the home of the International Olympic Committee). In ancient times, the Olympics were always in Greece.
