European Vacations

Summary

Containing more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than anywhere else, Europe is the birthplace of ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and the Age of Discovery. While occupying under 7% of Earth’s landmass, the European continent features many of the world’s most important and loved sights. Spanning from the Arctic to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic to the Black Sea, a European vacation can therefore take in everything from the sights and sounds of cities including London, Paris, and Vienna, the sweeping mountain vistas of the Swiss Alps, and the cultural heartland of the Iberian Peninsula.
