This quiz should probably have a yellow box. Currently it's way to easy to just go through the capitals and not even look at the clues. Also, if I got a question wrong, the answer would often pop up as the correct answer for a later question.

Agree, and probably less time. As it stands, you can just type in the names of all the European capitals at a fairly leisurely rate and get 100%

Nice quiz though, thanks!

Budapest also has yellow trams, and I've taken photos of them as a tourist. I've never been to Lisbon so wasn't aware of the presumably more famous ones there.

Stockholm has also been called the "Venice of the North" (as have several other non-capital cities) and probably has that many islands if you include the greater Stockholm region. It may not have enough bridges, though, to be an alternative answer.

Yep. I couldn't get Bruges out of my mind. The islands tidbit was the only way to differentiate.

Interestingly, that type of jelly donut is called a "Berliner" in most of Germany, but... not in Berlin itself! In Berlin, it's called a "Pfannkucken" (pancake).

Brussels doesn't have a 'statue' of an atom, it has 102m-high building, with 4500m² of floor surface, a museum and a restaurant in the shape of one.

The Lisbon clue makes me sad and angry because I often have to ride that particular tram and it's always filled with tourists LOL

I cannot for the life of me remember why I knew Prague?! I don't remember any details of the defenestrations. I don't know where I would have heard that fact, but the moment I read the clue I knew it was Prague. Brains are weird.

Budapest's trams are also famously yellow and photogenic, I think that question is a little unspecific imo. Otherwise, pretty fun quiz

I know it sounds strange, but the Atomium in Brussels isnt formed like an atom but rather like an Iron crystall formed by nine different atoms
