Capitals of North America
Each country in North America has its own capital, and this map lets you fly to all of them, from the far north of Canada down through Central America and the Caribbean. It connects every country to the city that governs it.
The best-known are Washington, D.C. (United States), Ottawa (Canada) and Mexico City (Mexico, one of the largest cities on Earth). You will also learn the capitals of Central America — such as Guatemala City, San José and Panama City — and Caribbean capitals like Havana (Cuba), Kingston (Jamaica) and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).
Fly across the continent and learn every North American capital — free, and genuinely fun, in Toponauts.
