European Geography Quizzes: Nine Western European Countries

Ranked #1,455 in Education, #35,013 overall

Western Europe - Fun Geography Quizzes

Quizzes can be both fun and educational. I've completed a number of quizzes on Squidoo and had been thinking of creating a "quiz lens" for quite a while. I decided that it would be fun to create a set of quizzes on my favorite travel destination - Europe.

I've included public domain maps of nine western European countries, namely Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands. Most of these include a few of my own travel photos. These geography quizzes will also help you earn Squidoo points - and may also give you the travel bug.

Have fun!
