Welcome to the challenge: Travel Challenge: Hidden Gems in the World’s Capitals

The world’s great capitals are filled with monuments that capture the spotlight and draw the largest crowds.

But beyond the surface, in quieter neighborhoods and sometimes hidden in plain sight if you know where to look, lie fascinating treasures off the usual tourist routes.

Do you know what we mean?

From a keyhole offering a secret view in Rome to an Egyptian temple in the heart of Madrid or poetic ruins in Lisbon, these gems reveal the most authentic stories of their cities.

Put your knowledge to the test and discover how well you know the lesser-known side of the world’s capitals.
