Europe is known to all of us in some ways but a lot of people in North America rarely step in Europe! Well… You’re missing a lot!
In this post, we’ll give you the top 10 reasons to go to Europe!
1-History
History is the main reason why you should visit Europe, at least once! Maybe in North American countries of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, you can find different climates and enough fun, but what North America lacks in, is having history!
What is the oldest building in the US? Not more than 400 years I bet! As we’re speaking, some buildings in Europe are about 400 years and people still live in them now!
Everywhere in Europe, you turn your head to, you’ll see history! Europe is heaven for old castles, buildings, and churches! There is Napoleonic history in France, the Roman empire in Italy, Vikings in Scandinavia, and several empires in the Balkans, just to name a few!
A Dutch friend of mine always says, “If someone wakes up from the dead in today’s Germany, he still knows the whole city since nothing’s changed!” and that’s true!
Walking in European streets feels like time traveling to the past!
2- Architecture
European architecture is fabulous, You’ll see different types of architectures in Europe. Even by looking at the buildings in one street, you can say each one belongs to a different time by its unique architecture.
3- Unique cities
Each European city has its own unique culture, cuisine, and architecture. London, Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam are only a few to mention!
4- European Relationships!
Since Europe is a romantic continent, a lot of travelers who’d been there, fell in love and some never even came back to their home country! How can you not fall in love with your other half when walking in Amsterdam’s streets or beside the Danube River?
5- Football (not soccer)
It doesn’t matter if you are a football master or can’t recognize Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo from each other! If you have a chance to be in Europe, you should buy a football game ticket, especially in Spain, the UK, or Germany! The atmosphere in a European football stadium is so exciting that you can’t help it but have a great time!
6- European cuisine
whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or a meat lover, Europe has such fantastic cuisine to make you go like, “Wow!” after each meal!
The best thing about European cuisine is that your options are endless! Eat the best Pizza and pasta of your life in Italy, drink the fabulous Moldovan wine, and the chocolate to fly your soul within Belgium!
7- Accessibility
Maybe your flight from North American countries or Oceania be more than 11 hours long, but once you land in a country in Europe, reaching other European countries is as easy as a fast train, a very cheap short flight, or a delightful car ride.
Europe is the most accessible continent in the world, and since most European countries are small compared to North America, Oceania, or some Asian countries, it doesn’t take long to reach another country in a few hours!
A lot of people in Europe live in a country and work in another country! The first time I heard my friend’s cousin lives in the Netherlands and drives to Germany for work every day, I just couldn’t digest it!
8- European nightlife
If there’s one thing Europeans are the best at, it would be partying! At nights, you can enjoy the underground music scenes, party islands, and thriving nightclubs and I’m not talking about Amsterdam at all!
9- Islands and beaches
Europe is home to the best islands and seaside cities such as Santorini in Greece, Dubrovnik in Croatia, or Miami beach in Montenegro! Europe is home to the magical black sea, the Mediterranean sea, and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Everywhere you go, you can book hotels in Europe with beach access for cheap! (not talking about all-inclusive hotels in Spain!!)
10- The Balkans
The Balkans region’s countries are the most underrated countries in Europe. Hidden gems like Montenegro, Slovakia, and Albania are yet to be found by adventurous travelers like you!
