Luxembourg misses the cut by two kilometres. All distances have a possible deviation of a kilometre or two. If you wanted to drive from Basel to Novara, it would take just over 4 hours, while driving from Basel to Mulhouse takes around half an hour, (according to Google Maps), just to put things into perspective. And for anyone who took Les 100 plus grandes villes de France sur une carte, je n'ai pas oublié la ville d'Annecy ;)

I'm thinking of doing either Gibraltar or Vienna next. I want to make a couple more of these, and I'd rather do a city with an interesting location than just any old city (especially cities close to borders).

I only got 9. What a disappointment I am to the great Roger Federer's hometown.

I think it's fair to say this quiz is a tad difficult.

Thank you! I imagine that German-speakers may appreaciate this quiz, although I am not comfortable enough with the language to translate the quiz into German, sadly.

18/36, It seems my knowledge of Baden-Württemberg is not very extensive. Sadly Swiss cities are mostly too small to be on here, I'd have been way better otherwise :(
