There have been different questionnaires on this forum, which is nice. But... I wonder if you know the answers to the following questions (about Europe).
I'll check your answers in the evening cause I have to work all day. Good luck everyone!
1 Which river can be seen from your hotelroom if you are staying at the Hilton Boedapest Hotel?
2 Which European city has got the most bridges?
3 Which sea is situated between Ireland and England and borders to one of the oceans?
4 What's the name of the longest river of Western Europe?
5 In which European city is the biggest company of waste incineration (garbage) in the world situated?
And 3 questions just for fun about the WORLD;
1 Which country has got the most sheep? 2 Which city in Mexico is famous because of its beaches? 3 What's the name of the only country that gets crossed by the equator and the tropic of Capricorn?

I guess it depends whether you include Russia in western Europe or not ...in that case it would be the Volga

Newcomer, Russia is not included in Western Europe (at least not in this question)... so no, it isn't the Volga either. Try again!

Hmm, the Danube is 2850 km (1771 miles) and the Rhine is 1,320 kilometres (820 miles). So I guess it depends where western and eastern Europe are.
Also, you may be interested in this: "Far up north in Germany the city of Hamburg lays like an emerald surrounded by hundreds of waters in the middle of Europe. Most people do think that Venice in Italy is the city with the most bridges, but it's not - it's Hamburg! There is water wherever you look at. Small cute canals run like veins inside the city centre." http://www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Hamburg-755.html
It seems that someone is questioning Venice's long -held claim Posts: 4576 | From: Cairo | Registered: Jun 2002
