Hello, looks like you've got your closing 'div' in the wrong place. I've corrected the code and attached it here. Instructions say to put it around all of the content in the body tag, not just part of the header. Give this code a try.

<body>
   <div class="container">
        <header>
            <h1>Best City Guide</h1>
        </header>

        <div class="main">
            <h2>Welcome!</h2>
            <p>Dessert toffee chocolate lollipop fruitcake cake sweet. Pudding cotton candy chocolate pudding liquorice jelly marzipan. Muffin gummies topping lollipop. Caramels chocolate cake donut liquorice.</p>
            <p>Cake sesame snaps sweet tart candy canes tiramisu I love oat cake chocolate bar. Jelly beans pastry brownie sugar plum pastry bear claw tiramisu tootsie roll.</p>
        </div>

        <footer>
