Malta is only classified as Europe because of the culture and religion being heavily influenced by Britain and Italy, and also since it's politically tied to European countries. Maltese is a semitic language, deriving from Arabic, but has been so heavily influenced by Italian, English, Greek and other languages that it has become separate language from Arabic, though I've heard it still remain lots of similarities with Tunisian Arabic. Malta is physically on the African plate. So Malta could really be both European and African.

EG, on the other hand, owns a territory on the continent, yet their capital isn't located on the said territory. Also, even if Malabo won't be the capital of EG in the future, it is a capital CURRENTLY, so it still counts Edit 2: Now that I actually think about it, Denmark will fall in the same category as EG, because Copenhagen, the Danish capital, is also located on the island and it's much closer to Sweden then continetial Denmark

Also, I think the Danube River links the most capital cities: Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, and Belgrade. The Manzanares / Jarama / Tagus rivers link Madrid and Lisbon.

Bratislava actually used to be Hungary's capital for roughly 300 years (twice the amount of time Budapest has served as the capital of Hungary and 10 times the amount of time Bratislava has served as the capital of Slovakia) Its Hungarian name was (and still is) Pozsony however the main language of the city German which called the city Pressburg. The simple reason why it they're so close is because Hungary used to be a mere vassal state to Austria in those times so the capital city was developed to be as close to Vienna as possible. By the 20th century the majority of the population shifted demographically in favour of the surrounding Slovak people who historically call this land home.

That is not completely what happened. The main reason why Bratislava became the capital of Habsburg Hungary was simply because the Habsburg did not hold Buda for most of the time, and Buda was not well maintained by the Ottomans so the Habsburg did not bother changing for a while after it was reconquered from the Ottomans. And although Bratislava served for a long time as Austrian Hungary's capital, Buda has served as the capital both prior and after that period. Buda and Pest were united in the 19th century so trying to argue that Bratislava was the capital longer is kind of misleading, when you factor in Buda has served as capital for longer than Bratislava ever did.

Well first of all, Budapest was not a city for the majority of the time Austria held it. Budapest, first of all, was not even an Austrian/AustroHungarian city until the 17th century, and second of all, it was two cities called Buda and Pest on each river bank, which, being a major river before the Industrial Age, made it virtually impossible to build a bridge with the technology at the time. Same reason why Brooklyn and New York City were separated until 1900. It was therefore two small cities, with little interconnectability. But the main reason is that Budapest was absolutely destroyed by the Ottomans both through war and through lack of maintenance during their 200 year rule.

Interestingly enough he only city on two continents (Istanbul formerly known as Constantinople) was the capital city of the Eastern Roman, Byzantine then Ottoman Empires until 1922 when the Ottoman Empire was abolished and the Republic of Turkey was established and the capital was moved to Ankara! Of course, Istanbul sits on both sides of the Bosporus Strait which had been randomly chosen as a border between Europe and Asia despite being as narrow as 2300 feet!

@@furn6341 No. Lebanon is in what's termed 'the Levant' in Asia!

This is most exciting one.

Distance from the other country's territory is more relevant than the other country's capital. An attack on Seoul isn't coming from Pyongyang. It's coming from directly across the nearby border. Ottawa isn't that close to DC, for example, but it's very close to the US. Copenhagen is close to Sweden without being near Stockholm.

Copenhagen is literally on the border. I assume there are quite a few such countries, but this one's prominent because of ancient rivalry between the two nations.

And for that matter, Bratislava borders TWO different countries: Austria and Hungary. Unique in the world.

How about Thimphu and Kathmandu? They don't share borders but their capitals are pretty close.

I would have guessed that the Vatican and Italy have the closest capitals in Europe, as Vatican City is actually inside of Rome, which is the capital of Italy.

The way you pronounced Montevideo is hilarious🤣🤣

what about ottawa and paris? due to a small island owned by france in the st lawrance.

Japan's capital, Tokyo has a gdp similar to all of Brazil

Lome, Togo and Porto-Novo, Benin are pretty close. (188 km by car)

What about Buenos Aires and Montevideo?

My COuntry Guyana got mentioned. Thank you

Jerusalem & Amman

Washington D.C. to Bangkok, Thailand is 8,789 miles (or 14,144 km) apart.

Surely the Vatican and Rome has the closest capital as they literally touch

Do something about the Dutch province of Flevoland.

Another thing to take into consideration is Nicosia, Cyprus. One half of it is the capital of the Republic of Cyprus and the other half is the capital of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Those could also be considered the world's two closest capital cities, except that one of the countries involved is not a legitimate country in the eyes of most of the world.

Far away capitals of countries which share a border: Those of Denmark and Canada. They share a border across a tiny island off Groenlandia.

Vaduz, Liechtenstein to Bern, Switzerland is 151 kilometres.

What about Ottawa and Copanhagan for farthest capitals whose countries share a land border? Canada and Denmark share a land border at Hans Island through Greenland

Bern to Vaduz for short distance and Ottawa to Copenhagen for long distance.

Moscow and washington dc are distant capitals of bordering countries for a few weeks during the winter when the bearing sea freezes over

Today I flew London to Bucharest. Last year this week I sailed from Helsinki to Tallin and a couple of years ago sailed from Beunos Aries to Montevideo. I have visited most of the other capitals in Europe too

Finland and estonia being somewhat allies is a way to put it yes... when article 5 applies to both of them xD

A small thought when you're talking about the closets capitals on 2 continents: aren't Nicosia, Cyprus and Beirut, Lebanon not more closer together? It's only 240 km between the 2 of them

Cyprus is, geographically speaking, a part of Asia, so Nicosia and Beirut are both capitals in Asia

Also, he forget to mention that Beirut and Damascus are only 115 km far from one another Also jerusalem and Amman are not far from each other as well I think

also, Jerusalem and Amman are roughly 40km apart.

Crazy takes me an hour to see my friend and i havent left my city lol

As a person from the the very west parts of Bratislava (4 that one person from Bratislava who comes all the way to this comment Záhorská Bystrica) it usually takes me like 10 min less to drive to our (Bratislava) airport than it does to Vienna airport that has much better flights 😂

Big shout out for having the Wirral on the uk

The distance between Guatemala City, Guatemala, and San Salvador, El Salvador, is just 175 km.

9:44 Vilnius, Lithuania-Minsk, Belarus (172 km)

Yerevan-Tiblisi, Jerusalem-Amman-Beirut-Damascus come to mind as being close.

Hello from Slovakia 🇸🇰

Bujumbura in Burundi and Kigali should be close as they are small countries. However, I don't know the distance.
