Europe is one of the smallest of the world's seven continents, yet holds some of the world's most famous sites and destinations. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, the west by the Atlantic Ocean, the east by Asia and the south by Africa.
Europe is comprised of 45 countries, excluding those shared with the Asian continent. Due to the size of many of the countries and the rail systems, which connect them, it is possible to travel to many destinations in one trip and experience a wide range of cultural diversity. ...

Though close in proximity, each country is distinctly different in geography. No matter which country you choose to include in your European trip, you will not be disappointed by the offerings.
Europe is often appreciated for its rich history and historical points of interest are among the most visited by tourists. The Eiffel Tower in Paris and the old world charm of Venice are two of the most popular points of interest, but choosing lesser known sites will not disappoint. Europe is characterized by old world charm, romance, and incredible scenery; however, it is also known for its progressiveness. Europe is renowned for its incredible museums, world famous fashion, and for awe-inspiring structural designs.
Getting to Europe is easiest and most affordable by air with the major hubs by being London, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, and Amsterdam. The trains on the Trans-Siberian Railway, as well as other smaller rail systems, which run less frequently, are the easiest way to travel Europe. Due to the Schengen rules of the European Union law, there are no internal borders and member countries have adopted a common visa policy, making your passport and ID the usual requirement. Traveling in Europe has also been simplified by the adoption of the Euro, a single currency used in the majority of Europe. The Euro, however, goes further in some countries than in others. Weather varies greatly from country to country but the charm and excitement always will be part of your memories of Europe.
