Welcome to Places You Should Know

Learn where cities, towns and villages are, and test your geography.

How it works

  • Pick a country by clicking it on the map or using the search bar.
  • Filter the places by rank, population, region, name or distance to coast, border, roads and Street View coverage.
  • Quiz yourself by clicking where each place is, or view places on the map to learn them. Use Share to send your setup to a friend.
  • Dark mode, units and place-name language are in the settings (⚙️).

Before you start: this site loads maps and flags from third-party services — Esri (world map), Google Maps (quiz & explore map), OpenStreetMap (fallback) and flagcdn.com (flags). Their servers receive your IP address. Nothing is requested from them before you click “Continue”; by continuing you acknowledge this. There are no cookies and no tracking. Your choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage, so this notice appears only once.
