Finland regions quiz: 19 regions, 19 capitals, and the four Ostrobothnias

An exchange student heading to Finland learns the regions before term. Every quiz asks all 19: no capital shares its region’s name, so “Find it from its capital” and “Choose the capital” keep them all, Åland and Mariehamn included. No region is small enough to need a circle; zoom in for Åland’s islands.

  1. Four regions carry Ostrobothnia in their name: Ostrobothnia (Vaasa), South Ostrobothnia (Seinäjoki), Central Ostrobothnia (Kokkola) and North Ostrobothnia (Oulu).
  2. Pairs to keep apart: North and South Karelia (Joensuu, Lappeenranta), North and South Savo (Kuopio, Mikkeli), Kanta-Häme and Päijät-Häme (Hämeenlinna, Lahti).
  3. “Choose the capital” for Pirkanmaa might offer Tampere among Pori, Turku and Kajaani — the wrong answers come mostly from nearby regions. Two wrong picks show the answer.
Region Capital
Uusimaa Helsinki
Southwest Finland Turku
Satakunta Pori
Kanta-Häme Hämeenlinna
Pirkanmaa Tampere
Päijät-Häme Lahti
Kymenlaakso Kotka
South Karelia Lappeenranta
South Savo Mikkeli
North Savo Kuopio
North Karelia Joensuu
Central Finland Jyväskylä
South Ostrobothnia Seinäjoki
Ostrobothnia Vaasa
Central Ostrobothnia Kokkola
North Ostrobothnia Oulu
Kainuu Kajaani
Lapland Rovaniemi
Åland Mariehamn

The end gives the regions found at the first try out of 19 and the time — “Done! 16/19 in 2:31”, say — and lists the misses; in “Choose the capital” each shows as region · capital, like “Kainuu · Kajaani”. The Blank map of Finland prints the regions for a paper test.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the regions by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Is Åland included?
Yes — the islands are asked as a region of their own, with Mariehamn as the capital.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Are the towns given in Finnish or Swedish?
The regions have English names here (Lapland, North Karelia, Southwest Finland) and the towns their Finnish ones — Turku, not Åbo; Vaasa, not Vasa — except Mariehamn, the capital of Swedish-speaking Åland.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
