Great quiz - I nominate this for a star! I learned about a few places to add to my next Europe trip.

Thanks! I've been to 11 of these places, would love to visit the rest. Don't visit Stonehenge though. It is literally just a field with a few rocks. It's even more tragic considering that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built around the same time.

One more than me. Yeah, Stonehenge was a fizzer, thanks to the clowns who built the through-road too close to it.

Hey now, I liked Stonehenge, even though a few people told us to stay away as you did. The visitor and interpretive center there is quite well done. I'd recommend going a bit up the road to Avebury, that one is really different and you can get right up to the stones.

Good call, Joey; Avebury is far less commercialised, and there's a pub in the middle (claims to be the only pub in the world inside a stone circle!)

One technical detail - any questions you got right before it gets featured ARE set back to zero after featuring. I did this quiz a few minutes before it was featured, but had to do it a second time to earn the points.

In this case, yes, because I changed the order of the questions. I saw that only 27 people had taken it, so I figured it wouldn't inconvenience too many people to reset the states.

Got everything except Camp Nou. I did it by going down the list of items and then moving around the dot until I found the right location. Difficult doing it the other way.

Too italian ^^. More seriously, the quiz is nice but you could remove Lake Garda and add something in Portugal and in Belgium (which would get the quiz to 25 answers). I also suggest to say "Carcassonne walls", as for Dubrovnik, since it is a landmarks quiz.

The Carcassonne Walls instead of Dubrovnik Walls? Not sure what you mean by that; Carcassonne is in France, and Dubrovnik (which I have been to) is in Croatia, not at all close by, and has nothing to do with Carcassonne.

He meant that the clue should say "Carcassonne walls" the same way the "Dubrovnik walls" are already in.

I didn't actually understand the "walls" thing - why the walls of Dubrovnik particularly? Are they of more importance than the town as a whole?

Really nice quiz, by the way!

I'd say the walls count as a landmark, it's not like it's just a big fence, they're defensive walls surrounding the old town that have been there for hundreds of years.

Really great quiz !

But wouldn't it be far more interesting to put Sagrada Familia than Camp Nou ?

I agree. The Sagrada Familia is much more famous. I have been to Barcelona (I went when I was young, though) and I have heard of Sagrada Familia but not Camp Nou.

That's a reason to have the Camp Nou, I'd think. It's perpetually on the telly in Britain though, and probably most of Europe, because of the European (football) Cup.

In South America it's a (much) more famous and revered landmark than e.g. the Sagrada Familia.

How else would you describe it? Would you say the Eiffel Tower is just a tower, Big Ben just a clock, the Little Mermaid just a tiny statue...

As a person born in Prague, it saddens me to see Charles bridge to be the lowest. :-(

"Charles Bridge" sounds indistinct and uninspiring. Even "Karl's Bridge" would be an improvement, or something simple and descriptive like "Old Prague Bridge"?

Maybe a few less in italy? To be more balanced, but also to make it a bit easier to guess if you only know something is north or south italy. That way you learn the more exact location. With several (for me) no information is retained. But perhaps it was your intention to make it more of a challenge and let people doubt :)

There are quite a few great ones you could ve picked. Giants causeway ireland, atomium belgium, neuschwanstein castle germany (many might not know the name, but recognise it when they see it) sagrada familia spain ofcourse. And many others.

Ps if you wanted to confuse but still educate people (those that bother to look things up) You could do parthenon and pantheon ;)

Blue Lagoon in Iceland: The most fake sight in Iceland. It's a man made huge swimming pool with overly priced entrance tickets. Iceland has dozens of cheap public thermal swimming pools, where one can meet and chat with locals. Much more interesting than Blue Lagoon. The nature of Iceland is the real landmark: geysers, glaciers and rocky moon like landscapes.

Most of these landmarks are manmade... You make it sound like the Blue Lagoon is Disneyland, it's fine and kinda cool that it's geothermal.

I did enjoy the quiz, but I agree that Lake Garda could be sacrificed in order to broaden the scope a bit outside Italy. But overall a fun jaunt around the Old Continent :)
+1
Level 74
Apr 6, 2024
If I were going to change this quiz (which, by the way, I think is fine the way it is also), rather than changing 1 or 2 answers, I would divide it into natural and man-made landmarks and get 2 quizzes of like 15-20 landmarks each.

Because I can't really fault the Italian ones, but it's a bit awkward to have several natural wonders as well as several architectural ones all concentrated together. Although, having said that, I'd want to include the Crooked Forest, but it would cause endless complaints about which category it should be in. So maybe not.

IThe quiz is a lot easier if you've actually been to most of these places -- as a European-American I've been to 22/24 the remaining 2 were easy (even if I didn't know, then simply by elimination).
