Europe is often called a "peninsula of peninsulas." A peninsula is a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. Europe is a peninsula of the giant "supercontinent" of Eurasia and is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian seas to the south.
While Europe is the second smallest continent in the world—only Oceania has less landmass—cities in Europe have some of the richest histories of those found anywhere across the world. There is a lot to learn and understand when it comes to European cities, and their culture and history. This quiz will cover the culture of European cities, the languages spoken within those cities, the geographic features of the continent, and more. It may be a challenging quiz for many people, but I guarantee you you will learn something new about the amazing continent by the end of it.
