Northern
Europe perennially tops lists of favorite destinations for North American
travelers. Those who have been there look forward to returning, and those
who have not dream of going.
There are plenty of good
reasons for this popularity. The many great cities in this prosperous and
sophisticated corner of the world include London, Paris, St. Petersburg
and many others. Its landscapes include the rugged beauty of Norway and
Finland, the bright flower fields of the Netherlands and the lush greens
of Ireland. The architecture encompasses modern masterpieces as well as
ancient churches and castles.
Alexander the Great, Julius
Caesar, Cleopatra, Saint Paul, Marco Polo and millions of others from the
dawn of civilization to present-day cruise vacationers have explored the
coastal cities and thousands of islands of Southern Europe and the
Mediterranean Sea. These are, in fact, places linked mainly by the sea,
and much of their history, commerce and traditions have their origins
there. |
