The continent of Europe and its feel is so different than any other continent or country. The bulk of the continent is a fine mix between the narrow and paved streets from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and the skyscrapers dominate the skies and showing the economic power of the continent and the existing nations.
Europe geographical location
Europe is largely determined by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean in the west by the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Urals, Urals, the Caspian Sea and Black Sea to the east and southeast. Although Russia is the largest country among all European nations, its contribution to tourism is almost negligible in comparison with most Western European countries.
A brief history
Before the industrial revolution, Europe was plunged deep into the dark ages. During that time, was the exploitation of labor, the struggle for control over land and people, and corruption in the churches made life a living hell for most of the people. While the industrial revolution hit Europe in the 16th century and changed things in his head, also gave wings to art and architecture. It was not until the 16th, 17th and 18th century that great artists and philosophers of the will of Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Picasso and Galileo were born and changed the way people looked at the world around them.
Most of these men were also responsible for the establishment of various breathtaking works of art and architecture. Most of the European churches dating a few centuries and still boasts of paintings by master artists from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Places of Interest in Europe
Europe is such a beautiful continent and has so many places that can be said as a must visit. But it is almost impossible to list a few of them. But, you do not get discouraged, because we will try to pack in as much information as we can here and tell you where the rest of the information you are looking for.
Some of the major cities of Europe, Paris, Munich, Berlin, London, Barcelona, Rome, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Helsinki. These are just some of the most important cities in Europe in the context of travel and tourism as well as power centers. However, it is obvious that there are many other places are as beautiful as these cities.
Paris - the capital of France, the city of love, is one of the largest travel and tourist attractions in Europe. Paris is also known as the fashion capital of the world. There is always something happening in the city and there is something for almost everyone. When in Paris, do not miss the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre (glass pyramid) and Notre Dame Cathedral.
Berlin - the beer capital of Europe and virtually all of Germany know some of the most modern fleet of trains. Apart from the huge beer Steins, Berlin has some of the finest museums and cathedrals in the world. And of course you should not miss the Berlin Wall - an important, though sad symbol of the previous decades.
Amsterdam - European Capital of pleasures, popular with his wild and free life. The city itself is very impressive, boasting ancient cathedrals, great architecture and many tourist attractions. But Amsterdam is also equally popular with kitchens and of course, Hash Brownie.
Travel in Europe
Travelling in Europe is a very pleasant surprise for most of the first timers. Almost across the continent working as a nation and apart from a few, most countries use a single currency - euro, meaning you time controls sharing only for local currency to save and spend only one currency in many European countries.
One of the most popular way to travel in Europe by Eurail. Eurail is one of the most economical means of transportation throughout Europe. Again, note that a visa issued by a European Union country holds up well in the rest of them too. So, you can use Eurail to travel between almost all European countries and enjoy the breathtaking views of the countryside on the road.
You can also fly on many of the cheap, no frills flights, or use the bus service called Eurolines more than 500 European cities together. Another popular and fun way to travel between many cities in Europe by ship. There are many ferries and large ships that transport people and items in the different European cities and all that romantic luxury cruise liner.
Although, we tried to pack in as much as we could here, we have not even missed out on so much of what people can see and do in Europe as a tourist. However, we do not want you miss something, in case you were curious to Europe to find more information and make a virtual trip to Europe on the site below. Yet one can truly experience Europe as a visit only the Old Continent itself!
