Capital City Quiz
Ten quick questions — name the capital and beat your high score. A fun brain-boost between travel planning.
About the quiz
Each round pulls ten countries from popular travel destinations across every continent, so you will see a healthy mix of the familiar and the tricky. Get instant feedback after every answer, then see your final score out of ten with the option to play again — the questions reshuffle each time.
Why capital cities matter for travellers
Capitals are often a country’s main entry point — the biggest airport, the best transport links and, handy for us, usually the first place a new eSIM connects. Knowing them makes trip-planning smoother and pub-quiz nights a lot more fun.
Tips to score 10 out of 10
- Group countries by region — capitals cluster in patterns (Baltic, Balkans, Gulf states) and learning one region at a time sticks better.
- Watch for the classic traps: the biggest city is not always the capital (Türkiye, Australia, Brazil, Canada all trip people up).
- Replay a few rounds — questions reshuffle every time, so repeat plays cover far more of the map.
Turn trivia into trip planning
Found a country you had to guess at? That is usually a sign it is off your beaten path — which is exactly where roaming gets expensive. Look it up on our country guides or run it through the Data Planner to see what staying connected there would cost.
