This geography quiz is about famous places in Europe that are called something different in the local language. You’ll know all of the landmarks, cities and geographical features referred to in the quiz – but you might not recognise them under the local name. Can you work out what the place is from the clues and do the translation?

Recommended discoveries
A few recent discoveries that I recommend trying…
- Janneau Armagnac. A sharp, flavourful introduction to Armagnac as a cheaper alternative to Cognac.
- Conclave. A film about a papal election shouldn’t be quite so grippingly entertaining, should it?
- Oldley water bottles. The right combination of durable, affordable, easily-carryable and leakproof for kids who are adept at smashing bottles and coming home with soaked bags.
- The A Tale of Magic series by Chris Colfer. My 10-year-old couldn’t wait for me to finish reading them to her, and devoured them all after bedtime on the sly…
- Diplomatico Reserva sipping rum. Not quite as good as my favourite, Zacapa Centenario 23, but this Venezuelan rum has excellent winter warmer qualities.
