This quiz should probably have a yellow box. Currently it's way to easy to just go through the capitals and not even look at the clues. Also, if I got a question wrong, the answer would often pop up as the correct answer for a later question.

Agree, and probably less time. As it stands, you can just type in the names of all the European capitals at a fairly leisurely rate and get 100%

Nice quiz though, thanks!

Budapest also has yellow trams, and I've taken photos of them as a tourist. I've never been to Lisbon so wasn't aware of the presumably more famous ones there.

Stockholm has also been called the "Venice of the North" (as have several other non-capital cities) and probably has that many islands if you include the greater Stockholm region. It may not have enough bridges, though, to be an alternative answer.

Yep. I couldn't get Bruges out of my mind. The islands tidbit was the only way to differentiate.

Croatia's capital really gets the snub on this one.

Interestingly, that type of jelly donut is called a "Berliner" in most of Germany, but... not in Berlin itself! In Berlin, it's called a "Pfannkucken" (pancake).

Not just in Berlin, also in the east of Germany generally. And somewhere in the south they call it Krapfen? Also, it probably wouldn't be described as a donut by a German, because donuts are supposed to have a hole in the middle

Brussels doesn't have a 'statue' of an atom, it has 102m-high building, with 4500m² of floor surface, a museum and a restaurant in the shape of one.

The Lisbon clue makes me sad and angry because I often have to ride that particular tram and it's always filled with tourists LOL

I cannot for the life of me remember why I knew Prague?! I don't remember any details of the defenestrations. I don't know where I would have heard that fact, but the moment I read the clue I knew it was Prague. Brains are weird.

Budapest's trams are also famously yellow and photogenic, I think that question is a little unspecific imo. Otherwise, pretty fun quiz

I know it sounds strange, but the Atomium in Brussels isnt formed like an atom but rather like an Iron crystall formed by nine different atoms

I think Berlin's clue should be something related to Cold War, like: it was divided between four nations for a period of time.

The Berliner means nothing to me, it's just not something I immediately associate with Berlin, so I was forced to Google it. Other than that it is a good quiz.

I gotta object to the wording of the Sarajevo clue. 8 years later absolutely does not count as "a few years later". I kept racking my brain for wars/unrest in Europe in the mid-to-late 80s and coming up empty.
