Answer 1

The capital city that is NOT located on the Baltic Sea is Copenhagen. Copenhagen is located on the eastern shore of the island of Zealand in Denmark, while Stockholm (Sweden), Riga (Latvia), and Amsterdam (Netherlands) are situated near or on the Baltic Sea or its waterways. However, Amsterdam is often associated more with the North Sea but is part of the larger system of canals connecting to the Baltic Sea.

To clarify: Copenhagen is on the Øresund Strait, which connects to the Baltic Sea, but it is not directly on the Baltic Sea itself. If you were looking for the option that is furthest not on the Baltic Sea, Amsterdam would be the best choice as it is mainly influenced by the North Sea.

So, either way, if you had to choose among those given, the best answer is:

Copenhagen
