Need another round for your pub quiz? Try these geography quiz questions
Not to boast or anything, but we'd definitely consider ourselves quiz experts by now. From the Royal Family to Disney movies to food logos, there's not much we don't know the answer to or can't wrangle a guess for during our weekly pub quiz. And yet we could always do with a challenge: enter the geography quiz.
It's been quite a few years since our geography lessons at school, and so we have to admit we're slightly rusty when it comes to the landmarks of the world (the Colosseum is in Rome right?) and don't even get us started on the formation of an ox-bow lake.
Thankfully, there's no questions about ox-bow lakes in this quiz, but there will be a few questions that will test your geography skills. So with that in mind here are our 60 best geography quiz questions. Good luck!
