Traveller

What this means

Six to ten correct means the classic traps did not catch you. You know that Australia's capital is Canberra, Turkey's is Ankara and Canada's is Ottawa, and you do not pick a city by size alone.

You probably lost points on smaller or more distant countries, or where the capital has changed. Myanmar moved its government in 2005 to the purpose-built city of Naypyidaw. Kazakhstan's capital is Astana, not Almaty. Morocco's capital is Rabat, not Casablanca.

Only a few facts stand between you and the top. Look over the answers you missed and try again.

About the quiz: World capitals quiz: how many do you know?

Fifteen countries, each with four cities, one of which is the capital. The countries are drawn at random from more than 130 around the world, so every game is different. You have 10 seconds per question.

Many of the wrong answers are cities bigger or more famous than the capital, so gut feeling can let you down. You see right away whether you were correct, and get a result to share at the end.

How this quiz works

The questions were written by the KahurQuiz editors and the capitals checked against official national sources as of 2026. Countries whose capital is disputed or in the middle of a move are not in the bank. Where a country has more than one capital, the question says which one is meant: the political capital of Burundi is Gitega, the official capital of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the constitutional capital of Bolivia is Sucre, and the official capitals of Tanzania and Benin are Dodoma and Porto-Novo. Switzerland has no capital set in law, but Bern is the seat of the federal government and is treated as the capital everywhere.

Each game draws 15 questions at random and each correct answer scores one point: 0–5 Beginner, 6–10 Traveller and 11–15 Geographer. The answer options are shuffled every time, so the position of the right answer tells you nothing.
