PROFESsee is my title. I am the perpetual learner, in pursuit of knowledge, wisdom and truth. I derived my name from professor
The continent of Europe derived its name from the Phoenician princess Europa abducted by Zeus according to Greek Mythology, and the epic continues.
It always had a very big role in History, especially in the coming of civilization. By the way, it was the birthplace of Alexander the great, the seat of the Roman Empire, which covered all of Asia and Africa. It was also the cradle of the Renaissance. Today, the significance of Europe as a trendsetter has not waned.
Europe nowadays is a melting pot of cultures and religions. It has been touted as the seat of communism and that passed on with the end of the Iron Curtain era. Today, with the formation of the European Union and with a common currency, this continent will eventually rise to prominence again.
The continent of Europe boasts of vast tourist destinations. They range from historical and archaeological sites to fascinating natural sceneries. France with its wine and romantic air tops the list. It enjoys many galleries, museums and monuments enough to keep an indoor or outdoor tourist busy for many days. The close on the hills comes Spain with its famous running of the bulls’ festival, Alhambra fortress, palace, and gardens, and Ibiza the party destination.
Every part of Europe has something to offer. Russia in Eastern Europe has a lot for tourists. So does Prague, Lisbon, Bratislava and others. However, the most romantic destinations in the continent of Europe are in the Mediterranean countries. Gibraltar, Italy, Greece, Montenegro, Turkey, and others have more than an eyeful to offer visitors. In almost every part of Europe, there will be some major event going down, from the Grand Prix races to festivals like the Oktoberfest beer festivals in Germany.
Anywhere that you go, expect to find different cultures and loves. For example, the English love their afternoon tea and they would die for football. The Italians and the French love their wine and women. For Hungary, it is the architecture and for the Nordic countries, the old, traditional but very charming villages and towns.

Can you assemble Europe?
