Hey,

If you like this quiz, you may also like the similar quiz by Maxibon.

Also, even though the Brussels metropolitan area is one of the most populated in the region, the city itself is quite small, which is why it does not appear in the 'Largest Cities'.

Fun one, had 25 out of the lot. One thing is debatable through. Groningen is one of, if not the one, with a young population (which often happens in university cities), the city itself is very old though. Maybe it's my neurodiversity, but I found the question open to interpretation. When it comes to when a city was given city rights It would be one from the 1990's, if it comes to the actual youngest place to have gotten city rights (in their case VERY SOON) it is Almere, on the handmade 12th province of Flevoland. Was made around 1980, given city rights at '86 I think.

Greets from one of (and probably) the oldest citie(s), Nijmegen. Was founded (though not immediately city rights) by the Romans in 5 AD.

Love this series of quizzes!

(It would be awesome if you could add like ... a lot more type-ins for Rijksmuseum and van Leeuwenhoek.)

The Rhine does not end in Hollands Diep, what you have shown here is the Waal, not the Rhine. You took a wrong turn when entering the Netherlands ;) (ofcourse the part you show in Germany is indeed the Rhine)

There are two routes you could follow (I meant figuratively but I suppose literally works as well ;) )

*The Rhine turns into the Lek and (via Rotterdam and various change of names) ends up at Hoek van Holland where it flows into the North Sea as the New Waterway.

*Or you follow the waterways that are called the Rhine and end up at Katwijk (aan de Rijn/on the Rhine) where it flows into the Northsea (in Katwijk aan zee/on the sea) as the Old Rhine. It is a smaller flow (nowadays), but a continuation of the Rhine as well and the original run of the river (as the Romans knew it).

Officially it is option number one, but I don't think most people think of Rotterdam being on the Rhine.

(and if you google if Rotterdam is located on the Rhine (in Dutch) you get tons of articles saying "Rotterdam is actually not on the Maas (Meuse) at all." (when it enters Rotterdam the name changes from Lek to Nieuwe Maas and many things in Rotterdam have Maas in their name)

And people living near the smaller original flow called the old Rhine actually call/consider/think of it as the Rhine (partially because several things have the word (on the) Rhine in them).

Either way you have displayed the incorrect stream, the Waal. And also you do accept Maas but not Rijn, could you please change this?

I find this series excellent btw!

(Ps Why are the names of Germany and France so extremely big? haha)
