	Nice one, mix of eeeeeasy peasy and difficult ones. I was really rooting for "Monaco - Italian" though.

	Great quiz!

	@Ulkomaalainen: do you mean that "Monaco" in Italian can have two meanings? 1) Monaco and 2) München / Munich. (Both names have the same etymology, the Latin word for "monk"). If you want to distinguish one place from the other, you can refer to the German city as "Monaco di Baviera". Also, it's understandable that the Latin name "Vindobona" evolved to Vienna, Vienne, Viena, Wien, etc., but how on earth did it become the Hungarian Bécs?

	Some of these were pure guesses, especially Breslavia and Becs.

	thanks everyone, for the comments! @dancastro: this is what wikipedia sais: Bécs appears to have a different, Slavonic origin, and originally referred to an Avar fort in the area.

	Good quiz! Some were really hard. I think Lille is just Lille in Dutch but is only referred to as Rijssel in Flemish.

	I didn't know that. I'm Flemish myself, and thought it was correct Dutch. Perhaps people from the Netherlands just don't know this city has a Dutch name! ;)

	Haha, ok. Well I knew the name Rijssel for Lille, but I think about nobody uses that here. But maybe it is correct Dutch. We do use Dutch names for a lot of Walonian cities though (Mons/Bergen, Liège/Luik etc.). For the people who know the name Rijssel it should be clear.
