The Old World is traditionally divided into several regions, among which the west of Europe is one of the most popular in terms of sightseeing and tourism. The countries that make up it are of no small interest for fans of beach tourism, and for adherents of gastronomic travel, and for those in need to learn foreign languages in close contact with their native speakers, and therefore our compatriots are increasingly opening Schengen visas precisely for the sake of visiting the most western European states. …
Cards on the table
The region, called the West of Europe, includes seven countries, the name of each of which pleases the ear of an inquisitive traveler:
- Austria is the birthplace of the great Mozart. The Vienna Opera and the famous coffee houses of the Austrian capital, the luxurious Hofburg Palace and museums where the real treasures of bygone eras are kept, ski resorts and royal balls - a tourist trip to Austria always promises a sea of exciting adventures.
- The UK needs no guidance. Her impeccable English is a reason for an educational trip, and her sights of a royal scale are a tasty morsel for fans of classic European values.
- Tourists in Germany are truly torn apart, because so many attractions, interesting places, stunning landscapes, winter recreation centers and, finally, beers cannot be found within a radius of several thousand miles.
- Visiting Ireland means unraveling the secret of the quatrefoil, tasting the finest ales and learning how to make a real stew. However, it will hardly be possible to find time for culinary experiments in the country of many castles, and therefore it will be enough to at least try the signature dish of the local skillful housewives.
- You can talk about Spain for a long time. Sangria, alpine skiing, golden beaches and the work of the immortal Gaudí are just a small part of its undoubted merits. And in the country of Cervantes, you can arrange profitable shopping and learn to dance flamenco.
- Portugal is open to all winds and welcomes those who are not afraid to look the ocean in the eyes, standing on the edge of a cliff in the very west of Europe. Portuguese beach resorts provide perfect tanning and waves for breathtaking surfing. A bonus is tastings of real port in his homeland and walks along the outlandish colorful streets of Porto and Lisbon.
- It's all or nothing about France, and that's why it's better to see this country once. Romantics and pragmatists, lovers and divorced, young and wise - lavender fields, the Sacre Coeur Basilica and the white mustangs of the Camargue swamps will not allow anyone to be disappointed and fly away without leaving at least a piece of their soul here.
