Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capital of Montenegro? ▾
Podgorica is the capital of Montenegro. It became the capital when Montenegro declared independence from Serbia and Montenegro in 2006. It is often missed in European capitals quizzes because Montenegro only became independent in 2006 and Podgorica is not widely known internationally.
What is the capital of Kosovo? ▾
Pristina (also spelled Prishtina) is the capital of Kosovo. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and is recognized by over 100 countries. It is one of the newest and most debated capitals in Europe.
What is the capital of Switzerland — is it Zurich or Geneva? ▾
Neither — Bern is the capital of Switzerland, known as the 'federal city.' Zurich is the largest city and financial center. Geneva is the international diplomacy hub. This is one of the most frequently wrong answers in European capitals quizzes.
Which European capitals are most commonly confused? ▾
The most frequently confused European capitals are: Vilnius vs. Tallinn vs. Riga (the three Baltic capitals), Bratislava vs. Ljubljana vs. Zagreb (central European capitals that sound similar), Chisinau (Moldova, very obscure), and Podgorica (Montenegro, newest major European capital).
