Explore World Capitals
Match countries with their capital cities and discover political centres across every inhabited continent. Begin with widely known capitals before tackling less familiar national seats.
People, places and ideas to know
Paris is the capital of France, Cairo of Egypt, Tokyo of Japan and Brasília of Brazil. South Africa is unusual because government functions are divided among Pretoria, Cape Town and Bloemfontein. Watch carefully for large cities that are not capitals.
