I consider myself European, then German. The EU keeps the peace between the old rivals.

Where as we Europeans tend to visit every state in the US. /s

Honestly one of the places i wanna visit the most is spain

I get it is a joke, but Germany is #2 visited by Americans and Netherlands is 4, above Italy at 5.

Stop gatekeeping tourism. "Oh, if you don't live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?" Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven't seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.

No different than European tourists "traveling the US" visiting a couple of big cities and maybe the Grand Canyon on a stop in between.

Hi from Lisboa, Portugal… let me tell you, the tourists absolutely know about us. A bit too much…

I would like to visit Ukraine. Bit of an issue.

People rip on Americans like this because they don't know we get 10 days off a year and have to pay $20,000 for the ambulance.

This is the only type of Euro Trip we can afford to take.

At least put Amsterdam on there😂

The France map should just be Paris

This thread is just massive gatekeeping 🤣

So many angry nerds people care mostly about food and shopping.

For a more accurate map, erase everything south of Rome, including Sicily, as well as Corsica and Sardinia. At the northern end of things, probably also Ireland and Scotland.
Then make four new tiny islands and name them Barcelona, Munich, Amsterdam and Prague.

That pretty much sums up my time in Europe.

I'm sure that's true for many people. When European tourists visit the US, however, how many are actually going deep into the interior of the US? Most tourists, I'd imagine, would be staying somewhat near one of the coasts and mainly sticking to the major cities. I doubt many Europeans have anywhere in Nebraska on their itineraries. Probably not a ton of European tourists in the US right now anyway, but I mean in the recent past at times of relative political normalcy.

It makes sense, though. Most people who are travelling don't have the time or money to spend months seeing all the highlights of a place as large as Europe or the US. Even just these countries offer a ton to see, whether its the cities or the countryside. I can't speak for how well-traveled Europeans are, but very few people in the US, even those who have lived long lives here, are able to say they've even visited every state, let alone seen the whole country. I bet that's probably true of Europe for Europeans, too.

I myself don't have much money for travelling, so I've only been to 11 states (and never even left the country), and I certainly did not see everything those states had to offer. Some states are often called "fly-over" states and, frankly, aren't usually considered worthwhile places to visit anyway (even by Americans), so you can be forgiven for skipping those. I'm sure Europe has its equivalents, too.

Or be Danish:

American: I have been to Denmark! I love Denmark.

Visits Copenhagen only 🤡

Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Copenhagen is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of the country and especially Jutland where the vikings lived, Amleth's grave is, where the king's used to be crowned, the earliest Danish law that predates your frigging country by several centuries AND it is the place that Tolkien based Middle Earth and characters like Eowyn on. You could literally go visit the real Helms Deep, Isengard, Aros and Esgaroth and you could go visit the place of the legendary shieldmaiden Hervør who inspired Eowyn and in some ways Aragorn too.

But no no. cOpEnHaGen is Denmark. The one city in Denmark where no one speaks Danish, lol.
