Level 69

May 9, 2014

Got 36.. still missed some pretty obvious ones.

Level 60

May 9, 2014

Damn Dnepropetrovsk, I'll never be able to spell that.

Level 82

Jun 4, 2016

Ikr, I wish it would just accept "that city beginning with D in Ukraine".

Level 73

Jul 24, 2016

That would get you Donetsk as well :-)

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

I didnt know it. It looks difficult but I dont think I will have a harad time remembering the spelling ( if I remember the city at all that is)> It is dnepr, like the river, then o, then petro vsk (maybe think of peter fish? So like dnepr of the peter fish haha (if you think of the o as an irish o'). it gets complicated when you concentrate on prope in the middle. Then you get something like ; d ne -pro -pet rovsk. And I can understand you getting lost then.

It is all about how you break up the words. It can make a world of difference in remembering them

Level 24

May 12, 2014

please update Naples with Napels and Napoli as well.

Level 70

May 18, 2016

Napels? That sounds like a brand of snack food. But seriously, why should the Dutch spelling of an Italian city on an English quiz be accepted?

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

How on earth does that sound like snack food?

but yea. I think all answers on this site should be english (uk and american variation) and in their native language in cases like cities. Otherwise there are wayyyyy too many type ins. They d have to do it for each language..

That said, english can be very silly with sometimes having words end in -er and other times -re. (I have been insecure about the word letter, lettre for years when i was a kid haha. And meter metre, liter litre, center centre). But I believe most of that is because of the british/american versions. (but it is not standard -re in british an -er in american, both have exceptions, which is what makes it more confusing. It ias not like the extr u in colour and armor, there is it consistent, the (extra) u is allways the brittish version)

Level 79

May 23, 2014

Felt my stomach growl a little, realized I'm hungry then proceeded to get Hamburg & Frankfurt in the final 10 seconds.

Level 75

Feb 9, 2015

and Budapest?

Level 71

Feb 22, 2015

Never had a Budapest for lunch!

Level 60

Oct 15, 2017

But have you ever been Hungary? ^

Level 87

Aug 16, 2018

And a Wiener?

Level 84

Feb 26, 2021

Mannheim so hungry now!

Level 66

Dec 13, 2014

Got 50 with 1 second to spare haha, I was forgetting Nottingham!

Level 87

Aug 16, 2018

When did Nottingham all of a sudden get large? I've never seen it listed as a big city. Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool, even York from time to time as large urban areas in northern England, never Nottingham though.

Level 19

Oct 12, 2018

York, with 208.000 people?

Level 29

Dec 24, 2014

45/50 . only missed some Russian and Ukrainian cities.

Level 18

Jan 17, 2015

43/50. got the top 32

Level 66

Jan 31, 2015

39 in my first try. Cannot believe that I missed Kiev. On the flipside I got Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk which respectively only 15% and 7% got.

Level 56

Feb 2, 2015

43 and I've never been to europe

Level 33

Feb 7, 2022

same but I got 47

Level 64

Mar 20, 2015

I'll accept Istanbul and Yekaterinburg but Chelyabinsk is definitely east of the Urals, so it's in Asia.

Level 83

Aug 4, 2016

I would be inclined to consider it Asian, but fortunately I tried it just in case and it worked.

Level 23

Jul 20, 2015

Nizhny?! Novogorod... Thats not fair at all

Otherwise great job.

Level 32

Jul 24, 2015

Can I ask why Rotterdam/Hague is counted as 1 city?

Level 46

May 29, 2018

...because rotterdam is a city

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

huh what? That is just the weirdest answer

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

I wanted to know too why it is listed as one. I thought first maybe they were equally big, but that wouldnt make sense because then they would be both on the list.

I looked it up and apparently it is an area devised/named/appointed in 2014. For the benefits of cooperation between towns in the area. Partly for legislation reasons.

Regardless it should be The Hague. It would otherwise be like calling los angeles just angeles, it is just weird. Plus it is the official name wikipedia lists. "Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area" (wouldnt make sense any other way)

Level 75

Jul 29, 2015

I missed Frankfurt and Copenhagen... LOL

Level 68

Nov 21, 2015

When you realize that Leeds has more people than Munich and then compare the football teams...

Level 71

Feb 20, 2017

Spoken like a true Liverpudlian.

Level 63

Dec 2, 2015

The feeling I got from typing Dnepropetrovsk right in one try just cannot be described.

Level 71

Mar 6, 2016

Try smug!

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

You try snide

I would say proud or ecstatic. Maybe baffled.

Level 57

Mar 6, 2016

"Dnepropetrovsk" or "Днепропетровск" is the Russian spelling. The Ukrainian one is "Dnipropetrovsk" or "Дніпропетровськ". Try all those on for size!

Level 58

Mar 6, 2016

For those wondering, the 2016 update removes Nottingham and includes Mannheim. Also, Bonn/Cologne is now Cologne/Dusseldorf.

Level 59

Mar 18, 2016

Cologne/Düsseldorf sounds weird to me - I usually consider Düsseldorf part of the Ruhr more than of the Cologne area.

Level 46

May 29, 2018

wait, i thought dusseldorf was just the german name

Level 77

Aug 14, 2018

The snobbish people of Düsseldorf would be appalled to be lumped together with the "shabby" Ruhr Area. If anything they would say they are part of the Rhine region (like Cologne), which is close by and overlaps in some areas but not in Düsseldorf.

Level 77

Jun 15, 2021

Cologne and Düsseldorf are separate cities, too, by the way. And they are intense rivals. Ordering a Düsseldorf beer in Cologne or vice versa is a quick way to ruin the jolly Rhenish mood.

Cologne was founded by the Romans 2000 years ago and was an important religious and cultural center throughout the Middle Ages. Thomas Aquinas studied here, for example. It's a mixed bag with Roman ruins, Catholicism, parties, gay pride and infamously shabby quarters all thrown together. Its German name is Köln.

Düsseldorf is much younger and only rose to prominence 200 years ago. It's the epitome of rich, fancy and artsy, at least compared to Cologne and Ruhr. Its German name is... Düsseldorf, duh.

Level 76

Aug 28, 2018

The 2018 update removes Dnep-whatever and adds Nottingham back.

Level 55

Nov 2, 2022

I assume it was the February 2021 update that removed Nottingham. Not sure what was added.

Level 64

Mar 6, 2016

How did only 2% get Mannheim? I've always thought of it as a well-known major city.

Level 46

May 29, 2018

never heard of it

Level 87

Aug 16, 2018

They make steamrollers.

Level 52

Jan 23, 2019

Mannheim has only 300000 inhabitants

Level 64

Mar 6, 2016

The only cities I missed that I've heard of are Minsk, Newcastle, and Turin.

Level 65

Jun 30, 2016

Istanbul in part of asia in turkey

Level 76

Aug 28, 2018

Nope. Look it up. Most of the population is in Europe.

Level 65

Jul 19, 2016

istanbul is not in europe

Level 46

May 29, 2018

its almost entirely in europe, and was for centuries not within asia at all.

Level 83

Aug 4, 2016

The first time I did this quiz I got caught out by all the British cities on here. Most sources seem to give only London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow as being 1 million+, so I didn't bother with the others. I also expected Samara, Kazan, Rostov-on-Don and Odessa to be on here. I suspect my underestimation of British cities stemmed from the British tendency (often shared by Americans, I find) to more often quote population within city limits as opposed to metro area. I suspect this arises from the fact that it's often less clear where one metro area ends and another begins in densely populated areas of the US and pretty much anywhere in the UK, whereas here in Australia we have cities divided by vast gulfs of sparsely populated land and served by clearly identifiable CBDs. If we quoted population in formal city limits, we'd talk about Sydney as a town of less than 200,000 people.

Level 58

Aug 13, 2016

Got dnepropetrosvkmsl but missed rome

Level 78

Aug 20, 2016

All folks who can't spell Dnipropetrovsk or whatever will be delighted to hear that the city has just been renamed to DNIPRO.

Level 55

Nov 2, 2022

And all the folks who can spell it will be furious.

Level 58

Jan 18, 2017

The Ruhr, and Upper Silesia are not cities

Level 46

May 29, 2018

thats why they are already on there

Level 58

Jan 18, 2017

Yekaterinburg is not in europe

Level 21

Feb 10, 2017

I missed Budapest Kiev Copenhhagen frankfurt hamburg liverpool marseille glascow lyon valencia newcastle sheffield volograd warsaw prague but got the russian and ukraine ones....

Level 54

Mar 10, 2017

very strange! Naples is bigger than Rome? I dont think. 2 milions in Amsterdam, Leeds, Stockholm... This numbers is absolutelly bad. Look for other websites or casual atlas.

Level 54

Mar 19, 2017

1:39 left!!

Level 24

Jul 13, 2017

I FORGOT PARIS

Level 39

Aug 22, 2017

You missed Katowice?

Level 36

Sep 21, 2017

First attempt: 36/50 cities.

I misspelled Stuttgart (I wrote "Stuttgard") and Marseille (I wrote "Marsille").

Anyway, I should study the Russian geography. I've just realised I don't know anything about that Country.

Level 43

Sep 22, 2017

To include cities in Central Russia is awful. I understand to include Moscow and cities in western provinces of Russia but Yekaterinburg is a joke. That's like including Cancun into a quiz about US states. Sorry for the rant.

Level 62

Dec 6, 2017

41, everything I missed was Russian or Ukrainian. And I'm still not going to try to learn them. Chinese cities are hard enough, and much more significant. I'm not going to struggle with memorizing Russian names of cities with 1.5 million people or fewer in them.

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

relax, noone is asking you too. Feel free not tolearn thee chinese ones aswell :)

Level 36

Jan 15, 2018

44, missed Copenhagen though, too busy trying to think of Russian ones...

Level 45

Jan 22, 2018

Pretty impressive that five different cities in Europe have more people then the entire Ruhr area, seeing as the Ruhr area is many cities, some of which belong to the largest cities in Germany

Level 38

Mar 2, 2018

Initially got 38, after a month, 39!

Level 43

Mar 8, 2018

mannheim, Germany does not fit in here, the city proper only has roughly 300.000 . Adding Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg it adds up to about 620.000. A far cry from what is stated here, sorry. (I live in this state that is why it caught my attention).

Level 28

Jun 10, 2018

Yes, I found that very strange as well. It is even smaller than Karlsruhe in the same land.

Level 58

Oct 8, 2019

It's totally fine to include Mannheim. Ever heard of the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region? While it's true that this area is a losely defined polycentric area it still has over 2.4 million people living there but if you exclude some parts that are usually seen to be part of it like the southern palatinate area (Landau) which is closer to Karlsruhe and the Neckar-Odenwald-Kreis which is closer to Heilbronn you still have easily 1.6 million people with not just Mannheim, Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen but also many other smaller towns close by like Speyer, Heppenheim, Worms, Weinheim, Walldorf, Sinsheim, etc.

Level 38

Jul 16, 2022

it should be named "Rhein-Neckar (metropolitan region)" then, instead of just Mannheim

Level 72

Mar 8, 2018

Randstad could join Ruhr and Upper Silesia.

Level 66

Apr 21, 2019

theu have that apparently newly invented rotterdam-THE hague thingy. Which encompasses most but not all of the randstad

Level 66

Mar 8, 2018

Premiere League was helpful to start that one off.

Level 56

Mar 23, 2018

Krakow?

Level 86

Apr 4, 2018

Since less than 5% guess them all. Maybe also add the country in the hint collumn?

Level 20

May 9, 2018

Please accept Charkiv for Kharkiv. Also, where did you find that Mannheim has over 1 million people??

Level 46

May 29, 2018

RUSSIA WHY???

Level 46

May 29, 2018

also stuttgart is out of order

Level 71

Jun 4, 2018

Stuttgart isn't in order

Level 33

Jun 18, 2018

why instanbul but not ankara? ankara is 4m+ people but not here

Level 87

Aug 6, 2018

Ankara is not in Europe.

Level 88

Jul 28, 2018

Where did you get the numbers for German cities? Frankfurt has around 700k, Stuttgart around 600k to name a few.

Level 74

Aug 7, 2018

The source is in the header. It uses metro area instead of city population.

Level 52

Jan 23, 2019

Still makes no sense. 1,6 million in Mannheim?

Level 78

Aug 10, 2018

That feeling when you try Thessaloniki and find out after the quiz you missed Athens.

Level 67

Aug 28, 2018

The correct city name in English is not Hague, but The Hague (Den Haag).

Level 64

Aug 28, 2018

Where did you get the Nottingham figures? There's only about 290k according to Google.

Level 64

Jan 16, 2019

Remember: They're looking for metro areas. Which in this case is actually Nottingham-Derby.

Level 61

Aug 28, 2018

Cologne is now also a loosely defined area?

Level 84

Aug 29, 2018

No but the "Rhine-Ruhr" area which includes Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Bochum, Wuppertal, Bonn and Stuttgart among other cities is often counted as a single metro area. I'm not sure why Cologne and Dusseldorf are separated out from the Ruhr, or why Stuttgart is also separate. Probably different ways of categorizing these places.

Level 77

Aug 29, 2018

Ruhr Area is not merely a geographical term. It is an area that was largely unimportant until the Industrial Revolution, when the coal industry drew in masses of workers. Until recently, the region was defined by industry, and its inhabitants are still somewhat looked down upon as "proles" by people from outside. I guess the Pittsburgh Region, Upper Silesia, and North West England are similar cases. This continues to shape the Ruhr identity (which has its own dialect) and separates it from the old, "aristocratic" city of Cologne or the old, rich, and posh city of Düsseldorf, which in turn share some distinct Rhine-ish traditions and a common dialect. Culturally, these areas are different, but because they are so close to each other and overlap in small points, there is a basis for characterizing them as one large urban area. If you want to lump Stuttgart in there as well you'll probably need to refer to the so-called Blue Banana, which stretches from Liverpool down to Milan.

Level 77

Jun 4, 2019

What I meant by the first sentence is a mystery to me now but the rest stands. The Rhineland and the Ruhr Area are as distinct as New York and New Jersey, i.e. close enough to belong to one metro area but also worlds apart. And Stuttgart is more than 300 km/180 miles south of the area.

Level 74

Nov 7, 2018

"The Hague" should be acceptable.

Level 48

Dec 17, 2018

Agreed, that's what I tried

Level 23

Jan 19, 2023

The hague and rotterdam are not one city

Level 49

Nov 27, 2018

Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg are behind the Ural, which means territorially on the Asian side of Russia. Russian authorities consider Chelyabinsk as European city for administrative and economic purposes only. Regardless do we speak about cities itself or urban areas, both should be excluded from this list.

Level 68

Dec 2, 2018

Bah. Missed Sheffield. Very poor for a Yorkshireman.

Level 21

Dec 25, 2018

Are Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk in Europe?

Level 46

Jan 5, 2019

Got 37/51, can't believe I forgot Lisbon, and when I was thinking of Italian cities, I got Rome and Venice, and then I was like, "What's that other one..." Also, I didn't get Turin, even though I was on the Wikipedia page of it like an hour ago...

Level 58

Jan 21, 2019

Nottingham doesn't have a population of well over a million, more like 350,000 - I wonder where these figures come from?

Level 52

Jan 23, 2019

Mannheim has only 300.000 inhabitants. 1,6 million? Maybe as part of the Rhein-Neckar Region (Ludwigshafen, Mannheim, Heidelberg,...). Makes no sense to call it Mannheim then and should have more than 2 million (see Wikipedia)

Level 29

Feb 9, 2019

How did I forget Lisbon?

Level 62

Feb 12, 2019

Not sure Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk are in Europe

Level 17

Feb 21, 2019

On second try got all of them with two and half minutes left! Hype!

Level 30

Aug 6, 2019

Moscow has as many people as the entire country of Holland has citizens

Level 18

Sep 15, 2019

Sofia should be in this list, it's at least definitely bigger than Belgrade!

Level 53

Sep 17, 2019

39 eh..

Nizhny Novgorod should also count Novgorod, since that's what is colloquially called.

Level ∞

Sep 18, 2019

We used to accept Novgorod, but I was informed that the locals actually call it Nizhny. Novgorod generally refers to Veliky Novgorod.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novgorod

Level 59

Oct 7, 2019

These numbers seem wildly inflated - for the UK anyway. Is that a reliable source? Other sources have London at around 7.5 million and Nottingham at more like 700,000.

Level 46

Nov 22, 2019

You should accept Nizhni Novgorod, it's another accepted transliteration

Level 45

Feb 22, 2020

Glasgow doesn't have 1.6m population its only about 600k because if it was 1.6m then that would be almost a third of Scotland population so might need to fix that

Level 25

Mar 5, 2020

I tried Donetsk and Nizhny Novgorod, but couldn't type them correctly...

Level 62

Mar 28, 2020

I'm sorry but Frankfurt and Stuttgart are both under 1 million (;

Level 26

Apr 9, 2020

This is nonsense, Chelyabinsk is not in Europe by any definition that makes sense. Hence, this definition is nonsensical.

Mannheim doesn't really have a million inhabitants. Neither does Leeds nor Stuttgart

Level 50

Sep 16, 2020

I can't comment on the Mannheim and Stuttgart conurbations, but "Leeds" (the West Yorkshire conurbation under the urban area definition stated at the top of this quiz) is easily over a million. Leeds + Bradford + Huddersfield combined are probably around a million, even before adding in the countless other towns in the area.

Level 47

Sep 3, 2020

I always thought Chelyabinsk was in Asia. Apparently it's sort of on the border. Doesn't matter, because there's no real reason to split Eurasia into two continents.

Level 22

It should not say Largest Cities, but Largest Agglomerations. Frankfurt City has only 700k inhabitants ... only if you count the large region around this would sum up to what is depicted here. I live there xD

The quiz is still fun though... I didn't know Chelyabinsk was a city.

Level 44

Nov 15, 2020

Having gone through the 2020 version of this website, there are a number of anomalies and updates to suggest. 1. Brussels is listed as 2.7m, not 1.41 - big change in 2 years! 2. Katowice is listed but not Upper Silesia - are they the same? If so, Katowice should be accepted. 3. Yekaterinburg is in the 2020 list, after Kharkiv, and ahead of Mannheim. 4. Porto (Portugal) is listed at 1,54m. Not on your list. 5. Dnepropetrovsk is not on your list, but is listed just ahead of Dublin at 1.39m. I suggest an update based on 2020 figures. It would mean some tail enders would drop off, and there would be considerable rearranging of the sequence!

Wait, What? Nottingham has 1.37 million inhabitants? That can only be possible by counting the large area around the city. Not the actual city itself.

The quiz is about urban areas, even though it has cities in the title.

Zurich has 0.42 millions not 1.42 m!

Read the description. source gives this for Zurich:

City proper=0.42m;

Agglomeration core=1.12m;

Agglomeration=1.41m

I live nearby. IMO the colored "Agglomeration" region is not appropriate to be used for urban area. My estimate for the urban area of Zurich would be 1 million. Then again, you could argue that most of Switzerland is one big urban area.

Maybe someone has already asked this but, why is Upper Silesia on here? It just isn’t on the list provided in your source. Or is that your own calculation? (Just interested, not trying to be a whingeing pedant!)

Big question: Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg are in Europe or in Asia ??

Level 47

Jun 16, 2021

They're two of the three cities that "straddle Europe and Asia."

I've since created a blog article about the Ruhr issue. It's so weird to read all these statements if you're from the region. Imagine being from Philadelphia and reading that people "consider" your city to be part of the South, or to belong to the Boston metro area.

the titles "biggest cities" doesnt really fit imo if the quiz is about urban populations. Like Stuttgart definitely doesnt have over 2 million inhabitants, we have less than 700,000

Why Is Upper Silesia here? The biggest city in Upper Silesia has only 354.200 people! Theoretically you can call every bigger region as a urban area. That is so confusing.

I don't like citypopulation.de almost entirely because of the whole "Guangzhou" agglomeration thing. It includes Shenzhen and possible Hong Kong, according to citypopulation.de, and that's not right. Tokyo is the largest urban area in the world by population.

citypopulation.de also does not consider Chongqing to be its own city, possibly because of its immense size. I don't like this.
