Enrich Yourself With a Journey Through Europe

There are few continents on the world that can offer the cultural attractions Europe has: the traditional west of the world, this region boasts some of the most historically significant sites of recent time, even while also providing a look into the kind of modern elegance that could arise only from Old World sophistication. This is the land of French cuisine and viticulture, of Italian romanticism and style, of English composure, of Spanish sensuality, of an unparalleled experience for today’s worldly tourist or traveler.

Despite the breadth and variety of the experiences the region provides, it is not actually all that large—physically and relatively speaking. In terms of land area, only the Land Down Under is smaller than it, with the third-smallest continent (Antarctica) besting it by over 3,000,000 square kilometers. Not that the size of the countries here matters that much, as most would agree: what really matters is the size of their hearts.

This is a land of big-hearted nations, of people who sprang from the same headwaters from which Western culture flowed out into the world. This is a land of products and plenty, of gorgeous vineyards and orchards in rural areas and some of the largest companies and manufactories on the globe. This is a land of culture, of the Louvre, of the Sistine Chapel and the Florentine and Venetian masters, of arias and songs from Mozart and Pachelbel. This is a land of courage and power, of Julius Caesar and the World Wars, of Churchill and the Robespierre. This is a land one should live to visit at least once in one’s life, a place where dreams are born and made, where one can discover the very roots of the West in the ruins of antiquity and the structures people have built upon those ancient foundations today.
