European cities that have hosted the Winter Olympics are: Chamonix, St. Moritz (twice), Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Oslo, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Innsbruck (twice), Grenoble, Sarajevo, Albertville, Lillehammer, Turin, and Sochi. Sarajevo and Oslo are the only capitals.
European capitals that have hosted the Summer Olympics are: Athens (twice), Paris (twice, third time in 2024), London (three times), Amsterdam, Stockholm, Berlin, Helsinki, Rome, and Moscow. Barcelona will join the list if Catalonia successfully secedes. In fact, the only non-capitals to host the Summer Olympics are Antwerp, Munich, and Barcelona.
Stockholm has arguably hosted two Summer Olympics. Australia had harsh animal quarantine restrictions which prevented the equestrian events being held in Melbourne, so the 1956 Summer Olympic equestrian competitions were held in Stockholm.
Correct. It's like being the person running the Twitter account in Sweden (which also does not have a capital...just a bunch of government buildings all in the same city). Whoever gets selected that day is the capital of the country. Iceland tried this for 800 years and finally gave up because nobody there actually has a last name. Those wacky Europeans!
Im pretty sure Istanbul is in european part of turkey so it probably has way higher muslim population than both paris and berlin. I think that needs to be fixed
well... Madrid is not situated on a plain... but that point aside that song is still a lie. Most of the rain in Spain falls on the northern part of the country, which unfortunately doesn't rhyme.
There are many Muslims in Tirana, but it only makes up 60% of the population. Muslims make up of around 97% of population according to census in Pristina, and 80% population in Sarajevo are Bosniaks, which are predominantly Muslims.
Wouldn't all capitals that are on the sea have the same elevation of zero? Or do you count average elevation over the whole area of the city (thus, a capital on the sea that includes a hill would have an average elevation above zero)?
Other options:
2 end in "T" (Romania, Hungary)
2 end in "K" (Iceland, Belarus)
2 have two double letters in their name (Estonia, Malta)
This doesn't really sound gramatically correct if it's answer is a city.
