The continent of Europe includes 50 countries, 6 territories, and a few dependencies like the Channel Islands. But each of these places is unique, offering a variety of travel experiences for tourists. If France is cool and wet, Italy is warm with moderate winters. Similarly, the French may seem a bit standoffish, while Italians are gregarious and loud. Europe also offers a range of culinary adventures, from French and Mediterranean to Scandinavian. In Spain, you can go Tapas bar hopping or taste authentic gelato in Rome.
Europe is famous for its numerous vineyards, wine houses, pub houses, and cafes. For instance, the UK is renowned for its pub houses serving authentic lager and ale, while the Czech Republic is famous for its beer-drinking culture.
The continent also has a rich culture, ranging from the well-preserved Greek temples to the grand Roman Colosseum and cobblestoned pavements of Prague. There are many European cities that have been continuously inhabited for thousands of years. For instance, Plovdiv in Bulgaria has been inhabited for over 6000 years, while Athens is believed to be 7,000 years.
Getting around Europe is easy as well. Almost all European countries are interconnected by air, roads, rails, and waterways. Rail travel is especially the best thanks to the rail tracks that crisscross through terrains and borders. You could take regular trains or sign up for heritage locomotives or luxury trains like the Venice Simplon Orient Express from London to Venice.
Europe is famous for its world-class cities, laidback lifestyle, and extraordinary festivals – ranging from wine and food to film, music, and art festivals.
Travelling to Europe is not just about seeing different sites; it involves experiencing an ancient but equally interesting culture.
