Baldur's Gate, as a city, wasn't too pleasant. There was a major coup brewing, yes, but still it was pleasant enough to visit.
Athkatla, on the other hand, has -
- Irenicus' dungeon on the promenade
- A lunatic illusionist not more than 50 yards from Irenicus' dungeon
- A colony of Illithids living in the sewers
- A Beholder cult, also in the sewers
- Two serial killers
- A multidimensional Sphere in the SLums
- A troupe of player-actors with a multiplanar price on their heads
- The only Harper Stronghold in the world
- The Shadow Thieves
- The vampiric Guild of Assassins
- The Cowled Wizards
- A vast slavery market
On the whole, it's a damn good thing Irenicus DID bring the PC to Athkatla, or all hell would have broken loose in a matter of months.

It'd be entertaining to watch. Although only from faaaar away.
