Overview
Europe attracts more tourists than any of the other continents, with an estimated 600 million international visitors per year. This is no surprise when you think of how tourist ready Europe is, with the fairly efficient and well-maintained transportation infrastructure they have across the continent (like the Eurail). But also, millennia after millennia of cultural heritage.
Its wealth of attractions in a relatively small and well-connected space is likely its biggest draw. Europe is the second smallest continent but has the highest continental population density (based on the number of people per square mile or kilometer). Despite its population density, it still has such stunning and iconic natural scenery, as well. And while small, it retains a tremendous amount of visual and cultural diversity.
From the iconic Eiffel Towel and Stonehenge to Gulfoss Falls and the Cliffs of Moher, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa and over to Canals of Bruge to Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Neuschwanstein Castle – wherever you find yourself on this birthplace of Western Civilization, you will be awestruck and ready to explore.
