Situated
in the northern hemisphere, Europe has no less than five
major geographic regions offering a great diversity of
culture, natural sites, historical heritage and pristine
landscapes.
Each of the 50 countries has its own particular
characteristics, although most countries have in common
rich historical past, beautiful examples of architecture
and art as well as a geographically diverse land.
Europe can be divided into Southeast Europe; the cradle
of the Greek and Roman Empires; Central Europe, with its
magnificent examples of Mediaeval historical heritage;
Western Europe bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and
Mediterranean Sea and Northeast Europe surrounded by the
Baltic Sea with its numerous national parks and
landscapes featuring fjords, glaciers and geysers.
The landscape throughout Europe offers far-reaching
mountain ranges such as the Alps and Pyrenees, endless
rivers flowing through breathtaking landscapes, such as
the Danube and Rhine and many European capitals, which
offer plenty of attractions for those in quest of
cultural sites or those looking for entertaining
activities.
