European Capitals Quiz

Europe's 44 countries have capitals ranging from mega-cities like London, Paris, Berlin, and Moscow to tiny city-states like Vaduz (Liechtenstein, population ~5,000) and San Marino. Many European capitals are also the country's largest city and historic center, but there are exceptions - Bern is Switzerland's capital rather than Zurich or Geneva; The Hague hosts the Dutch government while Amsterdam is the official capital; and Bonn was West Germany's capital until reunification, when Berlin was restored as the German capital in 1990.
