Europe quizzes

European countries and capitals

From North Cape to the Greek islands, from Lisbon to Warsaw, Europe offers a patchwork of countries, languages and landscapes, from Norwegian fjords to Hungarian plains. This theme focuses on European states and their capitals, great rivers such as the Danube, the Rhine or the Volga, mountain ranges (the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathians), seas, peninsulas and borders inherited from history.

You learn to place Tallinn, Ljubljana or Reykjavik on the map, to tell Scandinavian countries from Nordic ones and to spot microstates such as Liechtenstein and San Marino. The quizzes on Europe are free and span five levels, from very easy to expert; an explanation comes with every answer, so you keep progressing even when you slip.

Frequently asked questions about Europe

Where is the border between Europe and Asia?

By convention, the boundary follows the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, then the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus region, the Black Sea and the Turkish straits. It is a conventional line more than a natural one, because Europe and Asia form a single landmass, Eurasia.

Which countries does the Danube flow through?

The Danube rises in the Black Forest in Germany and empties into the Black Sea through a delta shared by Romania and Ukraine. It crosses or borders ten countries and four capitals: Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade.

Which countries are Scandinavian and which are Nordic?

Scandinavia strictly refers to Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The term Nordic countries is broader: it adds Finland and Iceland, along with autonomous territories such as the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
