Europe is the earth's second-smallest continent, but what it lacks in size it makes up tenfold in history and culture. Even Europeans will delight in these photos of European architecture and landscape.
Many cities in Europe are recognized for their architecture, or a particular building. The Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa immediately call to mind their home countries: France and Italy, respectively.
Germany is one of the largest European countries, and is well known for its castles. Browse some of these photos of architectural wonders - towering castle turrets and soaring cathedrals are some of the highlights of German architecture throughout the centuries.
For a touch of culture, colourful street markets across the continent are a showcase of local produce and wares. Here is where you find the fresh fruit of Mediterranean countries and hearty cheeses of mountainous Switzerland. Cathedral spires of Salzburg and expanses of white sand are representative of two scenes from this wildly diverse continent.
From historic castles and mansions in Germany, traditional festivals and costume in Austria, the famous alps of Switzerland, to the pretty blue and white terrace buildings in Santorini, Greece.
These photos by no means cover all that Europe has to offer, but merely scratches the surface as Europe is a continent of diverse cultures, architecture, and landcape.
