    About Europe

    Europe may be the second-smallest continent by area, but its influence on world history is unmatched — the birthplace of ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution and the modern nation-state. From the fjords of Norway to the Mediterranean islands of Greece and Malta, it packs a remarkable variety of landscapes into a compact space.

    Its 47 countries (including transcontinental states) range from Russia, the world’s largest country, to Vatican City, the smallest. Twenty-seven of them form the European Union, one of the world’s largest single markets. Europe is the most visited continent on Earth, drawing hundreds of millions of travelers to its historic cities, alpine ranges and coastlines every year.
