Rivers and cities (a quiz)

Rivers, the ancient highways of communication and source of life-sustaining water, were ideal places to found cities. Identify the major city on each of these rivers. Looking at reference work is cheating. Easiest first, then harder. (Yes, I’m procrastinating from homework.)

All correct, but think bigger…

Danube - Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade. And Bogen, in Bavaria, Germany (IIRC - it’s been a while), but I don’t think it’s big enough to count. Although it is Stadt Bogen, so technically, it is a city…

Main - Frankfurt

I haven’t peeked at anybody else’s answers yet:

Thames - London, of course
Seine - Paris
Hudson - New York, Albany
Potomac - Washington
Moskva - Moscow
Mississippi - N’Yawleans
Nile - Cairo
Danube - Budapest
St. Lawrence - Montréal
Tiber - Genoa?

To which I will add, out of sheer bloodymindedness:

Nope.

You are thinking too hard. Gear down a notch. :wink:
