About the capitals of Northern Europe

Northern Europe has 10 capital cities to learn. Some are the country's obvious largest city, and a good number are deliberately not — which is where a capitals quiz earns its keep.

The spread is wide: United Kingdom holds 69.5 million people while Iceland has 392 thousand. By land area Sweden covers 450,295 km² against 43,094 km² for Denmark.

The largest country by population in Northern Europe is United Kingdom, whose capital is London. Purpose-built and relocated capitals are common enough here that the largest city is often the wrong answer.

The table below lists all 10 countries of Northern Europe against their capitals, so you can read it as a study sheet and then come back and play.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 10 entries in Northern Europe. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
