There is also a Faro in Yukon Territory, Canada (although it's too small to be a city).

Cool story.

You can now.

Okay kids, It's story time! There was once a Faro in Egypt even though he came from Portugal. Long story short, he died like 5000 years ago. THE END!

Level 50

Apr 9, 2018

It means lighthouse, no surprise it's a common name

Level 65

Dec 8, 2019

Seriously? No... Faro comes from a name, Harun. It used to be called Santa Maria Ibn Harun, Harun morphed into Faaron. (Harun being the equivalent of the name Aaron) It has nothing to do with with a lighthouse and/or pharos.

And even still, Pharos does not mean lighthouse. If I'm not mistaken the lighthouse of Alexandria is called Pharos after the island it was build on, not the other way around.

Level 66

Sep 17, 2023

I associate Faro with the Swedish island where Bergman worked. The name doesn't look too Portuguese!

Phuket, I only got 14

Level 50

Jul 10, 2013

Nice, LOL

Level 83

Jul 10, 2013

I got 24. Missed Denpasar, Kisangani, and Faro. Have been to Phuket, Busan, Abu Dhabi, Varanasi, and Cluj-Napoca before, and close to some of the others. Next year I think I'll visit Medina.

Level 74

Oct 23, 2013

Isn't Varanasi an amazing place? It's one of my favourite places in India, there's something interesting around every corner.

Level 83

Oct 24, 2015

It was interesting being there, especially during Holi. Though my enjoyment was somewhat impeded by the fact that my mother and I were both still suffering the effects of food poisoning and only had a day to spend there.

Level 53

Nov 14, 2022

Rule of thumb: stay away from meat in India

Level 43

Dec 10, 2017

Good luck visiting Medina if you are not of the Islamic faith

Level 60

Apr 9, 2018

You don't have to be Muslim to visit Madina. You just can't go into the mosques, specifically the Masjid-un-Nabwi, or holy places. Otherwise, you are allowed to visit the city itself.

Level 83

Apr 9, 2018

Both Mecca and Medina are off limits to non-Muslims. I didn't go to Medina but I went to Mecca. I got stopped and asked for my Muslim ID card several times.

Level 7

Jul 10, 2013

LOL... Kept typing "Idaho" for Boise - force of habit. Hope this won't mean I'd be the guy pocketing his spent brass during a gunfight.

Level 54

Apr 9, 2018

I live in Boise and that was my first thought too haha

Level 26

Nov 21, 2023

almost did that

Level 14

Jul 10, 2013

There is also a Medina in Minnesota, USA.

Level 84

Jun 9, 2014

And in Ohio

Level 67

Oct 23, 2015

Both of which have earned the title "Funky Cold Medina."

Level 77

Jul 10, 2013

Ha...I got Denpasar only because of the D Geography quiz also featured today. It's the capital of Bali, which i remembered was in Indonesia. Other than that, i would have never gotten it.

Level 45

Jul 10, 2013

There's a Nassau in Germany. It was important historically: William of Orange was from there. (Which is why they later named a Bahamanian city after it.)

Level ∞

May 18, 2015

That's a fun piece of historical trivia! But anyone who knows that would surely also know that Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. Nassau, Germany is just a small town today.

Level 67

Oct 23, 2015

And let's not forget "Funky Nassau."

Level 78

Apr 11, 2018

Is the Bahamas Nassau that famous?

Level 48

May 11, 2018

I actually knew about Nassau, Germany, just not about Nassau, Bahamas. Short of luck

Level 54

Sep 19, 2013

got 19. Couldn't spell Turkmenistan

Level 75

Apr 9, 2018

I was going to comment that anyone who missed that one should hang his/her head in shame, but I'll show compassion for spelling issues.

Level 52

Jan 5, 2014

I knew cluj-napoca because I'm a mancehster united fan (himt the username)and i remember them playing them in the champions league

Level 75

Jun 26, 2014

Faro is also in Sweden (I've been there!)

Level 37

Nov 25, 2021

Fårö is an island in Sweden, Faro is not. å and ö are completely separate letters in the Swedish alphabet to a and o, respectively.

Level 80

Mar 28, 2022

But on Jetpunk...

Level 28

Oct 18, 2014

There is also a Christchurch in England!

Level 82

Mar 26, 2016

But it isn't the more populous. When all else fails, look at the instructions.

Level 68

Oct 24, 2014

DRC should be accepted for the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Level 68

Apr 22, 2015

26/27, missed Aswan. Knew about 18 and inferred the rest through language familiarity.

Level 66

Oct 23, 2015

Got them all with just 9s left. Left with Varanasi and guessed it. Sounded a bit Indian. Like manchesterUtd, also got Cluj-Napoca because of their participation in the Champions League.

Level 63

Jan 10, 2016

Is that "Lübeck" where the name of the town "Lubbock, Texas" comes from? I know there's a lot of German heritage in Texas, so I was just curious.

Level 83

Aug 11, 2016

It's named after a Confederate soldier/Texas ranger, Thomas Lubbock, though what the etymology of that surname is, I do not know.

Level 71

Nov 19, 2016

I had a mate in England called Lubbock and I know of a few others in the area. There must be thousands of Lubbocks in UK.

Level 26

Nov 21, 2023

Yes, it is a variation of it.

Level 82

Oct 26, 2016

only Seville, Cluj and Abu Dhabi airport already visited

Level 58

Jul 8, 2017

Only got Cluj-Napoca because of CSGO. The more you know I guess.

Level 75

Apr 9, 2018

Had to look up CSGO - should have known it was a game. I never know those.

Level 49

Nov 13, 2017

I am from Varanasi , India :)

Level 75

Apr 9, 2018

That was one I didn't know. I like this series which highlights some of the lesser-known (to me, at least) cities.

Level 41

Apr 9, 2018

Thank you tostitos. Would have never known Boise with out you.

Level 66

Apr 9, 2018

There was a survey done that determined that people in Dubai don't like the Flintstones, but the same survey showed definitively that the people in ABU DHABI DOOOOOOO!

You're welcome.

Level 88

Sigh

Accept "rok" for South Korea, like in almost every other quiz.

Level ∞

Oct 18, 2021

Okay

Level 54

May 6, 2022

they dont have to if they dont want to, just because you dont want to type a few more letters doesnt mean somebody has to add it for you.

Level 67

Nov 23, 2021

There is also a Christchurch in the UK

Level 37

Nov 25, 2021

Only been to Coventry out of all these, I'm so well traveled.

Level 66

Sep 17, 2023

Coventry has a better Tesco than any of the other cities here

Level 54
