Biggest Cities in Switzerland

No doubt ticket to ride helped me here :P

I got Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne and Bern. The average.

It helped me get Lucerne, St. Gallen, and Winterthur (on top of the 4 more obvious I’ve already heard of before)

same

I also know Basel from its mention in some movie or song or something. But otherwise...yeah.

Definitely agree. I often score over 90 percentile and in this case also didn´t make up more than 3. I also heard of Lausanne because of Lausanne peace treaty, which ended Turkish war of independence after WWI, but I thought it was rather an quarter or palace in France like Versailles, Saint-Germain, Neuilly-sur-Seine or Sévres.

Sevres was the palace for the peace treaty with defeated Ottoman Empire in 1919, I guess in 1923 it was more suitable to choose a neutral place

I know Zurich and Geneva because they are popular cities, Bern because its the capital, Basel from football, and Lucerne because I've been there before. Switzerland is an amazing country.

Lausanne: seat of the International Olympic Committee. St. Gallen: seat of an awesome abbey library that served as one of Europe's intellectual centers during the Middle Ages. Basel: a place of carnival and cultural freedom since the Renaissance, and the setting of Hermann Hesse's "Steppenwolf" :)

Well I got 3...

I probably got the same 3.

Yep, got 3, though took a bit of solace that I had at least heard of the next 4.

4 :D

So it turns out I don't know much about Switzerland..

Knowledge of Swiss football clubs helped here. 8/10

Yeah, that only got me a 7/10. Apparently there aren't any cities in Switzerland named "Grasshoppers" or "Young Boys". :-(

10/10, 2:43 remaining. THANK YOU for using 'Zürich' and not that weird Zurich version!

I literally only got bern but I forgot about zurich,i now nothing about.

switzerland

i didnt think winterthur was a city? isnt it part of zurich? not complaining, just wondering. only tried it bc i went there :p

Surprised not to see Neuchâtel here, I thought it was a rather big city.

same

Neuchâtel is in fact no even in the top 20 (rank 21).

I was a bit surprised about no Sion either. Oh well...

9/10 on first try... Definitely helps being from Baden

Those are the weirdest looking commas I have ever seen

Yeah, I thought it seemed weird too. I just looked it up and apparently in Switzerland (at least in some cases) the apostrophe is used as a "thousands" separator instead of a comma, and the comma is used for decimals instead of a period. Any Swiss folks want to elaborate?

Not Swiss but the comma is commonly used for decimals outside of the English speaking world. Here's a map. Apostrophe seems to be a Swiss thing according to Wikipedia but I think I've seen it a few times in Germany as well.

I only got Lucerne because it is the name of the store brand dairy products at the local supermarket.

I thought Geneva was part of France until now...
