Level 75

Sep 1, 2016

UK borders 2 countries if you include Gibraltar, which generally these quizzes do

Level 71

Jan 2, 2017

Three because you could also count in Akrotiri & Dhekelia, but let's not do that.

+15

Level 68

Jan 2, 2017

Cyprus is in Asia.

+13

Level 44

Jan 3, 2017

It's actually transcontinental, but okay

+25

Level 59

Jan 3, 2017

It doesn't matter where Cyprus is; the UK is in Europe which is what matters for the purposes of the quiz. The quiz is about European countries that border one other country, not European countries that border one other European country. Besides, Akrotiri and Dhekelia don't count, as they are overseas territories.

Level 53

Jun 10, 2021

wrong, it does matter, if cyprus is in asia its 2 borders and if its in europe its 1, but its in antarctica so i dont know

Level 28

Nov 6, 2019

Yes actually the UK borders with Spain, Cyprus, Ireland, and a lot more (by sea) like with Argentina

Level 71

Feb 7, 2021

If you include sea borders then I think it would only be Monaco, Vatican and San Marino. (Maybe Ireland as well? Not sure if it gets down to a maritime border with France.)

Level 28

Sep 15, 2021

ireland doesnt have a sea border with france, uk kinda ambushed them so ireland only borders at sea with uk and international becasue uk wants its cod

Level 62

Jul 10, 2021

3 actually: Ireland, Spain and Cyprus

Level 48

Mar 9, 2022

I'm not sure if the caveat was there when you commented, but no over-sea territories.

Level 28

Sep 1, 2016

All too easy!

Level 82

Sep 1, 2016

Nit-picky - but you should specify land borders. For example, Denmark and Sweden's waters abut in several places, and even the two mainlands come as close as about 25 miles.

Level 81

Sep 1, 2016

And there's a bridge from one to the other.

+11

Level 72

Dec 22, 2016

There's also a tunnel from the UK to France :)

Level ∞

Sep 1, 2016

Added a caveat

Level 72

Aug 9, 2019

Tunnels don't count either (UK/France). For the caveats :)

Level 84

Sep 9, 2016

Surely you mean 2,5 miles ;).

Level 82

Mar 9, 2022

Surely I did - thanks! ;-)

Level 65

Oct 18, 2016

Nit-picky more: there's 40 miles between the two mainlands and no bridge - there is, however, a bridge from the Swedish mainland to the Danish island of Zealand, which at the northeastern corner is only 2.5 miles from Sweden

Level 81

Sep 1, 2016

I was under the impression that Monaco borders at least Italy too, clearly I am wrong.

Level 59

Jan 3, 2017

Italy and Monaco are very close, but there is a narrow slice of France in between them.

+17

Level 57

Sep 25, 2019

And yet that narrow slice of France is bigger than the whole of Monaco...

Level 73

Aug 30, 2019

There is eight miles of France in between Monaco and Italy.

Level 62

Nov 4, 2019

Got stuck with that one too.

Level 36

Oct 17, 2016

I'm pretty sure there is a bridge connecting Copenhagen (Denmark) to Malmo (Sweden).

Level 66

Dec 22, 2016

But there's no land connecting them.

Level 49

Jan 2, 2017

I have never heard of San Marino, but I am not the best with small countries.

Level 64

Jan 2, 2017

Inside Italy

Level 27

Jan 2, 2017

In my opinion two other countries are missing, but if I misinterpreted, please forgive me...Iceland and Malta.

Level 77

Jan 2, 2017

Which countries do these two border? They are islands with no shared borders.

Level 25

Sep 25, 2019

Level 57

Aug 9, 2019

Denmark borders both Germany and Sweden. Denmark borders Sweden on the E20, Copenhagen-Malmö

Level 64

Aug 9, 2019

See the caveats.

Level 57

Aug 9, 2019

Level 67

Mar 18, 2022

Liechtenstein?

Level 31

Mar 20, 2022

Liechtenstein shares a border with both Switzerland and Austria. Keep up my guy

Level 65

Jun 25, 2022

Canada and Denmark now share a land border on Hans Island, so this should be changed!
