[Beach Hut]

Several people have quoted Zurich but I thought Bern was the capital of Switzerland

 

[Fozzyboy]

I'm looking forward to going to Madrid in a few seasons time to watch the mighty albion in the Champions league!!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Several people have quoted Zurich but I thought Bern was the capital of Switzerland

Correct. I've been to both. And, as far as the Netherlands is (are?) concerned, I've been to both The Hague and Amsterdam (which is a matter of concern only to people who are under the mistaken impression that The Hague might be the capital city. It isn't).

 

[fork me]

Been there done that.

Not very interesting, is it.

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

Not many - London, Paris, Cardiff, Madrid, Amsterdam, Prague, Athens, Brussels, Lilongwe, Lusaka, Addis Ababa
Ex-Capitals? - live in Winchester, er...er... Blantyre and Zomba in Malawi

 

[ferring seagull]

As a point or order, Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey (Ankara)

However, for anyone interested, Istanbul is just about the most fabulous place and well worth a few days of anyone's time !

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Just the cheeky hattrick for me, London, Cardiff and Berlin.

Jakarta
Cardiff

Totally second that. I went reluctantly because girlfriend wanted to go. Fabulous place, far far better than I expected - really exotic and 'foreign' without havung to rough it.

 

[patchamalbion]

Some people aren't to hot on their capital cities are they....

 

[Windels]

London
Cardiff
Amsterdam
Berlin
Prague
Budapest
Bratislava
Sarajevo
Belgrade
Athens
Beijing
Hong Kong and Singapore (don't know if I am allowed them though)
Hanoi
Vientiane
Phnom Penh
Bangkok
Kathmandu
Kuala Lumpur
Manila
Abu Dhabi

Quite a few, but when I was first thinking about this, I thought my total was a bit higher actually. At least I can say I have spent a reasonable amount of time in each, exploring them all, none of them being for work etc.

 

[Josky]

34 in total - London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Dublin, Madrid, Lisbon, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Rome, Vatican City, Vienna, Brussels, Prague, Warsaw, Tallinn, Bucharest, Budapest, Bratislava, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Athens, Belgrade, Rabat, Cairo, Beijing, Hanoi, Bangkok, Gabarone, Lusaka, Lilongwe, Dodoma, Nairobi, Washington DC.

Not including airports as that's sort of cheating.

Some glaring omissions in there, can't believe I still haven't been to Belfast.
