With ancient wonders, important world cities, and tiny hamlets of infectious charm, Europe has a lot to offer the traveler. And with over 50 countries, the world's second smallest continent compensates for its small size with cultural diversity and plenty of charm, whether in Masterpieces of art, magnificent buildings or an equally magnificent nature .
