The cities presented in this article are the most romantic in all of Europe. They are very popular among tourists all over the globe as the best places for romantic trips.

The first place, of course, is occupied by Paris with the world famous Eiffel Tower. This city seems to be thoroughly saturated with the subtle aromas of love and French charm. Beautiful parks, ancient houses and cozy cafes add to the romantic and loving mood.

Second place in the list of romantic places went to prim London, or rather, its Ferris wheel - the London Eye. If the Paris weekend didn't impress you, then you can add some thrill to your relationship with your significant other by taking a ride on a huge Ferris wheel. The only thing is that you need to book your seats in advance, because... There are too many people who want to ride this attraction. Inside, the Ferris wheel cabin is made into a mini-restaurant, designed for two or three people. Except for the couple in love, that is. the third person will be the waiter, whose responsibilities include setting the table, serving champagne, chocolate and strawberries. The time spent in the booths takes approximately half an hour. During this time, a dizzying romantic excursion awaits you.

Third place on the list went to the Greek island of Santorini, which is located near Cyprus. Once upon a time this island, together with the rocks surrounding it, was just a volcano. But after a strong eruption, part of the island went under water, and the rest, i.e. crater and formed the island of Santorini. The island attracts with its unique contrasts of churches and snow-white houses, which shine against the backdrop of black volcanic soil and blue sea. In this fabulous place you feel in seventh heaven, succumbing to the romantic splendor of Greece.

Europe is dominated by plains, with mountains occupying approximately 17% of the territory.
Most of Europe is characterized by a temperate climate, northern Europe has a subarctic and arctic climate, and southern Europe has a mild Mediterranean climate.
The main rivers of Europe: Danube, Ural, Volga, Emba, Dnieper, Oka, Belaya, Dniester, Don, Pechora, Kama, Rhine, Tagus, Loire, Elbe, Vistula, Oder.
The largest lakes are: Chudskoye, Ladoga, Onega, Venern, Geneva, Balaton.
In Europe there are tundras and arctic deserts, taiga and broad-leaved forests, steppes and forest-steppes, and even subtropical forests in the Mediterranean.
Number of states included in Europe depends on which territory is defined as Europe and whether partially recognized states and dependent territories are to be taken into account. Currently, the majority of UN members recognize the 45 states within Europe.
The smallest state in Europe (and the world) is the Vatican. The largest state in Europe (and the world) is Russia.
European Union(EU)– includes 27 states united by a single market, a customs and monetary union, and a common policy.
Determining the geographical center of Europe, again, concerns the issue of defining the boundaries of Europe. Several countries claim the title of such a geographical center: Belarus, Slovakia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Germany and Poland.
There is a point of view that Europe in the east does not have a clearly defined geographical border and the question of where this border lies remains open. We can say that Europe is not a place, but an idea.

The area of ​​the islands is about 730 thousand km². The peninsulas account for about 1/4 of the territory of Europe (Kola, Scandinavian, Iberian, Apennine, Balkan, etc.).

The average height is about 300 m, the maximum (if you draw the border of Europe along the Kuma-Manych depression) - 4808 m, Mont Blanc, or (if you draw the border of Europe along the Caucasus ridge) - 5642 m, Elbrus, the minimum is currently approx. . −27 meters (Caspian Sea) and changes with fluctuations in the level of this sea.

Plains predominate (large - East European, Central European, Middle and Lower Danube, Paris Basin), mountains occupy about 17% of the territory (the main ones are the Alps, Caucasus, Carpathians, Crimean, Pyrenees, Apennines, Ural, Scandinavian mountains, mountains of the Balkan Peninsula) . There are active volcanoes in Iceland and the Mediterranean.

In most of the territory the climate is temperate (in the west - oceanic, in the east - continental, with snowy and frosty winters), on the northern islands - subarctic and arctic, in southern Europe - Mediterranean, in the Caspian lowland - semi-desert. There is glaciation on the Arctic islands, Iceland, the Scandinavian mountains, and the Alps (area over 116 thousand km²).

Main rivers: Volga, Danube, Ural, Dnieper, Western Dvina, Don, Pechora, Kama, Oka, Belaya, Dniester, Rhine, Elbe, Vistula, Tagus, Loire, Oder, Neman, Ebro.

Large lakes: Ladoga, Onega, Chudskoye, Venern, Balaton, Geneva.

The largest sandy desert in Europe, Ryn-Sands (40,000 km²), is located in the interfluve of the Volga and the Urals (on the territory of Kazakhstan and Russia); in Western Europe, the Tabernas massif in Spain, as well as the Nogai steppe in Russia in borderlands of Kalmykia, Dagestan and Chechnya. In addition, there has been desertification of vast areas in Kalmykia, Russia, as a result of human activities such as industrial water extraction from natural sources and unsustainable land use. In the zone of dry steppes in eastern Europe, there are a number of sandy massifs in Russia on the lower Don (Archedinsky-Don sands, Tsimlyansk sands, etc.), as well as in Ukraine (Aleshkovsky sands).

Andreas Kaplan believes that Europe is the region with the greatest cultural diversity in a relatively small geographical area.
