Might as well only mark the most visited cities and capitals.

Where as we Europeans tend to visit every state in the US. /s
We don't visit that scary place anymore. You could just as easy be diverted to El Salvador upon arrival.
Obviously they also have to go to Eire and annoy the locals by claiming to be Irish and asking where the Blarney Stone is for a selfie.
I consider myself European, then German. The EU keeps the peace between the old rivals.
Latvian here. I have more trust/loyalty to EU than my country itself. Kinda weird when you think about it.. or not.
+1
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…
Agreed from New Jersey. I was fortunate enough to go with a friend whose family is all from Portugal, in Furadurao or however it's spelled, I dunno. But did Lisboa, Porto, stopped at the home of the oldest brothers in Portugal (at the time). Was fed much portwine at every home we stopped at, and ate bread with melted cheese in it that I've been chasing for the last 15 years since we were there.
I'm fortunate to be from Jersey for many reasons, but one of them is the huge Portuguese population we have and the cooking they brought with them.
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.
Strange, because eastern Europe is a lot cheaper to travel than France, Italy or the UK. Those are some of the most expensive countries actually.
Flying there from the US is more expensive and Americans generally don't want to see Eastern Europe.
More cost, less benefit.
Honestly one of the places i wanna visit the most is spain
At least put Amsterdam on there😂
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.
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.
I mean, Americans do the same thing.
Those are called flyover states for a reason.
Also popular is renting a car in CA and then driving around there, to Vegas and some other national parks (a la Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Utah’s).
I would like to visit Ukraine. Bit of an issue.
This thread is just massive gatekeeping 🤣
So many angry nerds people care mostly about food and shopping.
The France map should just be Paris
