[spoiler]Btw, the Sydney one says Sydney on it in English. And I got Vienna because of Syt's description previously about the old ring road. :)[/spoiler]

That's also how I immediately 'recognised it', thanks Syt.

I was lucky that they mostly chose cities I have visited [spoiler]or live in[/spoiler]. My two misses were from two of the three cities that I have never been in.

I was sure the penultimate one was [spoiler]Lucca until I couldn't find the amphitheatre.[/spoiler]


That's the only one I missed, though a couple of them were just lucky guesses.  I knew that 9 wasn't [spoiler]Valetta[/spoiler], but I didn't know which of the other 2 it was and guessed wrong.

Yeah, OK.  Didn't grow up in a household with fucking tapestries of pre-Industrial Barcelona lying around.
