Berlin
You need 35 stars to unlock this city.
You get 55 coins for a city question.
City Sights of Berlin:
The Berlin Wall (5 tickets)Halloween event 2021
These are the jobs that I had to do and the rewards that I received. Don't know if it's different for you?
Kathmandu city questions
These are not the City Sights (for the City Sights of Kathmandu, go here), but just the questions that pop up in the streets. As they are so hard to remember to me (even to read those long words in the questions took most of the 20 seconds), I decided to make a list (far from complete).
Update: I just heard from somebody who started this year (2021), that she had none of these questions, only general questions about the world. About flags and pasta, not difficult at all. It's different for some people.

National Monument
The national monument is a 132 m obelisk in the centre of Merdeka square in central Jakarta. The National Monument or Monumen Nasional – Monas for short – symbolizes the struggles during the Indonesian National Revolution between the years 1945 and 1949. The construction of the monument started in 1961 and it was first open to the public in 1975. The monument encapsulates the philosophy of lingam and yoni, the harmony between the feminine and masculine energy of Shakti and Shiva. It also resembles the bloom of the amorphophallus titanum or titan arum, an endemic flower of Sumatra. In the outer yard of the monument there are reliefs that depict instances of the Indonesian history.

Suomenlinna Island
The Suomenlinna Islands is made up of eight islands, including the Suomenlinna sea fortress. The construction of the Suomenlinna sea fortress began in 1748 by the then Swedish crown as protection against Russian expansionism. The Suomenlinna sea fortress is not only a museum, but a living community too! In the past, visitors would go through background checks to be deemed as honorable before entering the fortress! Suomenlinna was added to the UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1991. It is now a place to explore history or to enjoy a relaxing stroll.

Floating Town of Makoko
Makoko is often referred to as the Venice of Africa due to its waterways! Its population is considered to be 85,840, but later estimations believe this number is much higher! It is mostly populated by Egun people whose main occupation of the people residing there is fishing. Makoko was the home of Makoko Floating School. Unfortunately the school was abandoned in March 2016 and collapsed later the same year.
Tehran - City Sights
Tabiat Bridge
Welcome to the Tabiat Bridge, where ‘Tabiat’ means ‘nature’
in Persian.
The 270m bridge is the largest pedestrian bridge in Iran! Inspired by a bridge on Zafer street, head architect Leila
Araghian oversaw the construction of the Tabiat Bridge between 2010 and 2014. The bridge has three layers, its walking paths are made of
composite wood and its steel alone weighs 2.000 tons! The bridge on the Northern part of Tehran expands over the
Modaress Expressway and connects the Taleghani Park with the Abo-Atash Park. While its official name is “Pole Tabiat” it is also known as
the “Third Symbol of Tehran”. It has also won the Aga Khan Architecture Award

Update September 2021
City Sights for Madrid and Cape Town have been added. Now working on Venice.
I also updated some of the Jobs, but I don't know if that is useful, as I noticed that players who joined the game later have completely different questions for the jobs.
Solutions for the Jobs are not that important, if you fail a job, you can always try again. It does not cost you any tickets, like the City Sights.
To update all the souvenirs will take a long time, because I have to travel all around the world to get all the prices complete. But maybe one day...
If you have any addition for this website, please take care to add the full question, because I try to show them in the posts in alphabetical order, which makes it easier to find something.
You can add them in the comments, if you have a Google account, or contact me on Facebook by PM.
