If you’re always planning a vacation or just dreaming of the next place you can jet off to, chances are you’ve (unconsciously) stored away travel facts in your long-term memory. All those globetrotter Facebook groups, travel blogs, and countless hours spent in front of the TV watching travel shows have left their mark, pumping your brain with enough random facts to last you a lifetime. And now it’s the perfect chance to put those bits of knowledge to use! How? With a travel trivia test, of course!
“But I’m done with school... I don’t need any more tests!” Don’t worry — this travel quiz is for fun and has no time limit (unless you’re up for the real deal!) And it’s always a good day to learn new things, especially about something as cool as exploring our wild globe.
If you think you already know everything, let us tell you we love your confidence. But it’s pretty much impossible for us to know whether or not you have some weird travel superpower. Maybe it’s just that you’re really good at trivia questions, or you’re particularly observant. Whatever your reason for being such a knowledgeable travel wizard, we want to test it with a round of travel questions that can challenge even the most seasoned globetrotter.
Put on your thinking cap because this one is gonna be tough. For every question, you’ll find the answer right below in the comments. Ready, set, go!
