About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Match European countries to their capital cities across all regions, including the Balkans, Baltics, Nordics, and microstates. You’ll also build confidence with spelling variants and commonly confused city names.

Format and difficulty

Every question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think it through without pressure. Choose your preferred question count and difficulty before starting—Mixed blends easy “must-know” capitals with tougher ones to keep the run fair and interesting.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many mistakes come from mixing up nearby countries, historic names, or cities that are famous but not capitals. Watch out for look-alike names and countries with less well-known seats of government.

Confusing the Netherlands (Amsterdam) with the seat of government (The Hague)
Mixing up Central European pairs like Slovakia/Slovenia or Austria/Australia-style slips
Picking major cities that aren’t capitals (e.g., Barcelona, Milan)
Overlooking microstates and small nations (San Marino, Liechtenstein, Monaco)
Misreading similar capital names (Podgorica vs. Pristina, Riga vs. Tallinn)

How the balance works

The Mixed setting spreads straightforward capitals throughout the quiz and periodically introduces harder ones, so you’re not hit with a long streak of tricky questions. If you want a faster warm-up, lower the question count; if you’re training for mastery, increase it and keep Mixed for a realistic spread.
