Europe

4.5

A mosaic of many different languages and nationalities, Europe draws nearly half a billion annual visitors with its wealth of cultural, artistic, and architectural attractions. Europe also features one of the world's most efficient rail and road networks, generally making travel a pleasant and easy experience. The world's smallest continent in terms of surface area, this land stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east boasts thousands of years of history preserved and displayed in hundreds of world-famous museums, galleries, libraries, and universities. Offering travelers a seemingly endless variety of landscapes, Europe encompasses booming cities, tiny villages, lush river valleys, majestic mountain ranges, deep lakes, and sprawling seas. If you have already discovered the popular destinations of Italy or Greece, try the less-explored Balkans or Scandinavia.
