Superb stuff, your knowledge of city nicknames is excellent and we’d like to award you with our “Big Apple” rating. Most people will do well in this quiz, but a few will certainly stumble on a few of the less well-known nicknames. Sure, everyone knows The Eternal City, but not everyone might know Auld Reekie is Edinburgh. Now that you’ve proved yourself, share this quiz with your friends and test their nickname knowledge!

    About half of the city nicknames are legit, but the other half are ones that no one has any idea about. Also, a lot of the “cities” mentioned in the quiz are probably small towns or villages.
