20 Questions to Test your Travel Knowledge / CAPITAL CITIES OF THE WORLD

Travel Trivia: How many capital cities can you guess?

Most countries have a capital city, and the reasons why are varied. A country's capital city is the area where its seat of government is located. Most often, this means that the government's leaders – such as ministers, prime ministers, and presidents – live in that city along with other governmental buildings like courts, department offices, and embassies. Some countries choose their capital cities because they might have been established there hundreds of years ago when settlers first arrived to build townships around rivers or large lakes; others decide on new cities that were built specifically for this purpose.
