World capitals by continent

What this quiz covers

From Africa and Europe to Oceania and the Americas, this quiz checks how well you can match countries to their capitals by continent.

Every question is multiple choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think carefully instead of rushing.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll build faster recall of capital cities, spot continent-based patterns, and learn to avoid common mix-ups between nearby countries.

Difficulty is balanced by mixing straightforward capitals with less common ones, so you get momentum without losing the challenge.

Tips, pitfalls, and how to play

• Watch for countries with similar names (e.g., Congo variants) and read the full country name before choosing.
• Don’t confuse political capitals with major cities (e.g., administrative vs. largest city).
• Use continent context to eliminate options that “don’t belong” geographically.
• If you’re warming up, pick fewer questions and an easier setting; for a full workout, increase the question count and select mixed or harder difficulty.
• Review mistakes after each run and replay to turn weak spots into automatic answers.
