tom mn has 1, 6 and 9 right
We need name for the salt mines
Avignon - wrong palace of the popes! But it could have been 645 miles NW of Rome so I guess we'd give credit whilst still searching for the correct Italian town.

7 - Yes Schwerin - maybe a bit far but I did it as a day trip from Berlin - but good point. Quokka as usual is right on about all things in Germany and Austria.
