7:58 PM LOCAL TIMEEurope spans roughly 10.2 million square kilometers and serves as a crossroads of history, culture, and geography. Notably diverse—the fjords of Norway, the plains of Ukraine, mountains of the Alps, and the Mediterranean coasts—it offers a wide spectrum of environments. Its cities flow with layered histories: Paris, Rome, Berlin, Moscow, and Madrid, each a hub of architecture, culinary tradition, and urban culture. The continent is marked by arich linguistic mosaic — English, French, German, Russian, and countless smaller languages — and value-shared institutions like the European Union and Council of Europe are based here. For travelers, Europe is best explored regionally—by rail across the Alps, along the Mediterranean, and through historic cities—each route revealing local character and hidden gems.
