Can anybody recommend an urban adventure for Level 3/4 plus? I have Murder in Baldur's Gate but I don't like it enough to convert it. Thanks in advance.

D&D 5E Urban Adventure for Level 3+?

Have a look at Vornheim. It's not an adventure per se, but a city kit with maps, NPCs, and adventure ideas. From the same guy who wrote A Red and Pleasant Land.

The traditional storylines are:
* Dealing with a thieves' guild that has done something where the PCs need to fight their way in and recover/stop,
* Fighting off an invasion (I like aberration invasions for a good Cthulhu feel - but undead, demons, cultists, fey, orcs, giants, flumphs, etc.. could all be interesting invaders),
* Political intrigue where powerful members of the aristocracy use the PCs as a pawn in a diplomatic battle (perhaps framing them for an assassination), and
* Exploring a dungeon beneath the city.
If you have established areas in your world, I suggest writing your own urban adventure rather than converting a preexisting one. It allows you to pull in those essential elements that make the world your own. Those elements are often more visible in an urban setting with a sense or order rather than in the chaotic wilds surrounding civilization.

Thanks for the replies guys, I found something but I won't say what because I'm pretty sure one of my players is stalking this thread...
If you don't mind converting from another system "A Friend In Need" is a great, short city based adventure for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2e or 1e). For longer adventures (also WFRP) look at Shadows Over Bogenhaven or Power Behind the Throne.
