Europe Travel Guide
From LoveToKnow Travel
If you want to travel, Europe offers an almost endless supply of destinations. A thorough Europe travel guide would be dozens of volumes of history and information!

Denmark
This small peninsular country hangs in the Arctic Ocean just above Germany and reaches toward Norway and Sweden. The main draw is one of the world's greatest walking cities, Copenhagen. Denmark is surprisingly full of museums and has a remarkably clean and efficient rail system. http://www.visitdenmark.com/
Estonia
Estonia is situated in the northeastern corner of Europe. It boasts a number of medieval castles and quaint cobblestone streets. Estonia is also less expensive than many other European countries. http://www.visitestonia.com/
Finland, Norway, Sweden
The three sister Scandinavian countries to the north are a nature lover's delight. Miles and miles of pristine lakes, forests and mountains paint the landscape between booming cities. Each country is a unique destination in itself, but all three sport lavish beauty in abundance. http://www.gofinland.org/ - http://www.visitnorway.com/foreign_offices/usa/ - http://www.visit-sweden.com/
France
Arguably the top tourist destination in the world, France has a strong cultural heritage and breathtaking historic landmarks. The lively French people are also quite fond of bakeries, cafés, and relaxing in the afternoon sun. Paris is one of the best-known cities in the world and has been a center of cultural revolutions for hundreds of years. France is also filled with Celtic and Roman ruins and castles that are hundreds of years old. http://us.franceguide.com/
Germany
Clear skies, crisp mornings, mountainous views and a thick history of philosophy, art and music, Germany offers a lot to its visitors. Thousands of medieval castles dot its varied landscape along with massive museums, famous festivals, and more kinds of beer than you knew existed. The Germans are also an open and intelligent people ready to show you their proud land. http://www.cometogermany.com/
Greece
The old land of mythology is still alive and kicking to this day. Greek architecture inspired the western world to build strong, sturdy buildings with long pillars and marble floors. Greece is seen by many as the origin of western civilization, and they have the landmarks to prove it. Touring Greece is like visiting a living storybook. http://www.greektourism.com/
Holland
Holland is a remarkably progressive country in the north-central part of Europe. Its capital, Amsterdam, has the largest historic center of any city in Europe. The Dutch are known for several things, namely their uncanny ability to keep the country (most of which is below sea level) dry, and the fact that everyone there speaks English. Outside of the cities, Holland offers long horizons dotted with tulip fields and windmills. http://www.holland.com/us
Iceland
Iceland is halfway between Europe and the eastern coast of the United States. The people of Iceland are open minded and well educated; most of them speak English fluently. Geysers, waterfalls, craters and mountains fill the largely untouched landscape. Although it's name implies frigid temperatures, the weather is much like that in New England. In the summer time, because of its northern location, the sun never sinks below the horizon. http://www.icelandtouristboard.com/
Italy
The heart of Europe was once the heart of the world. Italy is a country so thick with art and history it's a wonder anything is left for the rest of Europe. From the Etruscans to the Romans, many peoples have called Italy home. Now the country offers rolling hills, an enormous coastline, an almost infinite supply of ancient ruins, and the most vibrant and lively people in all of Europe. Italy will charm you with its wiles and hook you with its amazing cuisine and art. http://www.italiantourism.com/
Spain
Many cultures have left their imprint on Spain, and the ruins are a testament to their multi-faceted background. The Spanish are a people in love with life and with their country. Arabic, Roman, Jewish and Gothic art and architecture can be found in this diverse country. http://www.okspain.org/
