The European Capitals of Culture is an initiative of the Commission of the European Union, designed to highlight the richness and diversity of cultures in Europe, increase European citizens' sense of belonging to a common cultural area and boost tourism. Since 1985, every year one or more cities have been given this title. How many of them can you guess, with the help of a map?
As you can see in the map, the cities are not necessarily in the European Union or in Europe. Like many other things regarding the EU, it's complicated.
Thanks! The point of this initiative is also to promote lesser known regions, which is why some of these are rather small, rarely in the spotlight towns
