2020 Euro geography quiz

[ad hoc]

Many (many many many) years ago on this board (or at least on one of its predecessors) I set a quiz about European cities starting with different letters of the alphabet. For these Covid 19 times, here is another (similar, but slightly different as that one was with text and this one with pictures)

So, there are 24 cities pictured below, each starting with a different letter - there is no Q and X. No country is represented more than once. Each city had a population of 200,000 or more in 2013 (which is the date of a UN list that i found online). I considered mixing them up but that seemed like it would be slightly too much of a challenge (if it proves to be too easy, and I get the inclination to do another one, then I will mix them up)

Anyway, I'll put the answers here when you get them (though I might leave it for 24 hours before I do to sow a bit of doubt)

A fuck up. Turned out to be Alesund
Bergen
Chisinau

I'm going with Bergen and Florence in the first lot (the latter only because the cars make it look like Italy....)

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

Taranto

[jdsx]

And I'm going with Utrecht and Zagreb in the last lot, on the basis that there aren't many cities to choose from and they look vaguely likely....

[ursus arctos]

Those are both right.

[tee rex]

S = Skopje? (only clue was the flag!)

[ad hoc]

I believe there are 10 still to get. Will put up the correct answers so far in a while

[Duncan Gardner]

T for Tallinn?

(T for Toxteth T for Tennessee
T for Thatcher
That girl has made a wreck out of me)

[fatbear]

K=Kiev ?

[fatbear]

I isn't Ipswich so I'll guess Irkutsk ?

[tee rex]

I would guess Innsbruck, only because the list of "I" options is so short. But they've hidden the mountains.

[tee rex]

It was bugging me so I've cheated on "I". Somebody will do well to get that one, if (like me) your knowledge of European cities relies on football.

Updated the OP

Left to get - A,H, I, K, N, O , P , R, T, V

[seand]

Great quiz thanks.
V=Varna
(wild guessing time..... A looks Nordic so Aalesund, K and I look Germanic so Kiel, Ingoldstadt)

[fatbear]

i'll guess the A as Akureyri ( or Akranes ! )

H= Hannover ?

[fatbear]

More guesses :

Kaunas
Nuremburg
