I’ve always loved a good pub quiz, but recently I’ve been doing about 3 quizzes a week. Once thing I’ve quickly learned is I’m quite good at general knowledge but I really know my travel trivia questions. Whenever there’s a travel round my eyes light up.

I always feel that being a travel blogger I’ve got a bit of an unfair advantage when it comes to travel trivia, but hey, I’m not complaining. One of the reasons I love travelling so much is learning about different cultures and societies. I’ve always said travelling is the best education in the world because you just learn so much.

While I’ve been locked up inside I wanted to come up with these travel quiz questions and answers to test your world knowledge.

52 out of 55. Decent quiz, I enjoyed that. Thought the Hell pit was in Uzbekistan for some reason. I thought the island of spice was Cuba… Idiot Knew Callanish was Scottish but answered as Ireland when doing the quiz.

That’s a great effort Craig, well done!

I didn’t do too well, but enjoyed it a lot. Just one small point: Germany’s flag is made up of the colours red, black and gold, not yellow. It dates back to the Prussian resistance against Napoleonic rule. Volunteer soldiers wore black uniforms with red buttons and golden trimmings. The colours became a symbol of freedom and nation. Thanks for the great quiz.

Thanks for the comment Jean. I’m glad you enjoyed the quiz, and it’s always good to have a bit more background information on Germany!

@Jean, Good photograph took. Thank you.

Santosh Saha

That was really fun idea. Although I didn’t do well on your test but it was actually really fun to learn new things about the world.

Hope to see your coming blog. Thanks for the post.

@Pradip Karki, Send me more quizzes. Thank you.

Right now, the idea of travel might be the furthest thing from your mind... And that's great!

It doesn't look like travelling is something that we should be doing for a while, and unfortunately for some, that might just fill you with FOMO! The internet has a funny way of just flooding you with wanderlust and travel inspiration, even at a time when that may or may not be a bit counter-intuitive...

The aim of this blog post is definitely not that!

Instead of inspiring wanderlust and the desire to hit the road, we hope that this pub quiz proves a great way to get together with friends (online, not in person), spend time with family and all have a fun time when we might all need just that!

How's This Pub Quiz Going To Work??

We've put together 50 awesome pub quiz questions all to do with travel, geography and the world we all love to travel and see so much. The 50 questions have been split into 5 rounds of 10 questions, with the 10 answers to each set of questions to follow.

The rounds are made up of a variety of different topics, areas of the world and ease of questions too... Including some questions that should please everyone playing, and some questions that might be a bit more challenging...

We've also thrown in some interesting facts & trivia with all of the answers as well!

The quiz should be simple enough to play however you want to do it - with a question master or without, in teams or just as a challenge to yourself! And you can leave a comment down below to let us know how you did! Let's do it!
