Why? Way too easy. Just because start with a b it does not HAVE to be on here. In fact I think the names you see over and over on other quizzes should NOT be on here. Time to broaden your horizon and not be a one trick wonder.

I really thought that Belgrade will be here, it's one of the oldest cities in Europe.

In other words, there are lots of places that begin with B in Europe - you can't have them all otherwise the quiz would become more like an exam at school. Have some realistic expectations

Having "Ben Nevis" under B is like having "Mount Everest" under E.

Under 'M' I'm sure s/he meant. Probably a good point.

Ben Nevis is actually an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, Beinn meaning 'mountain'.

Uh, not all of us are British. Only 45% got it, far less than would get Everest on any “E” quiz.

This comment is garbled, but Ben Nevis is definitely categorised under "N".

There's Ben Lomond famously, and plenty of other mountains with the Ben name. Mount Blanc would be under B not M.

Bordeaux might not be a regino, but oregano is something you put on a dish that you'd have with a good Bordeaux.

The Balkans aren't actually a peninsula. The clue should name it a region instead.

Sadly Breizh isn't accepted for Britanny which is its official name in brezhoneg (Brittany's language) but the French name Bretagne works

Whenever I'm supposed to think of Ben Nevis I'm cursed to always think of Ben Lomond in Utah, the one that inspired the Paramount logo. Sigh...

Putting Ben Nevis under B is like putting Mount Everest under M
