Which country has two capitals?

Published in Geography 1 min read

The Netherlands and Bolivia are two countries that have two capitals.

Here's a breakdown:

  • The Netherlands: The Hague and Amsterdam serve as the country's capitals. The Hague is the seat of government, while Amsterdam is the official capital.

  • Bolivia: La Paz and Sucre share the capital status. La Paz is the administrative capital, housing the executive and legislative branches, while Sucre is the constitutional capital and home to the Supreme Court.

It is important to note that South Africa is frequently cited as having multiple capitals (Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein), but this is more accurately described as having three seats of government within distinct cities rather than formally designated "capitals" in the same way as the Netherlands and Bolivia.
