Europe

By Travelog Editorial Team · Updated August 8, 2026

Europe now has forty live countries on Travelog: the six baseline countries, the nine Tier 1 expansion countries, all eight Tier 2 countries, and all seventeen Tier 3 countries, Ireland (Brú na Bóinne), Iceland (Þingvellir), Malta (Valletta), Cyprus (Paphos), Slovenia (Idrija), Serbia (Studenica Monastery), Slovakia (Banská Štiavnica), Montenegro (Kotor), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Mostar's Old Bridge), Albania (Berat), Lithuania (Vilnius), Latvia (Riga), Estonia (Tallinn), North Macedonia (Ohrid), Luxembourg (Luxembourg City), San Marino (its Three Towers, only two of which can actually be entered), and Andorra (the roadless Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley). Every guide follows a Country/State/City/Landmark structure, with each city's most-visited sites split into their own standalone, independently sourced pages rather than folded into one long city article.

France, Czechia, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Norway, Finland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, Cyprus, Slovenia, Serbia, Slovakia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, North Macedonia, Luxembourg, San Marino, Andorra, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Germany are the forty countries in Europe with published guides today. The six baseline countries are fully built out to their planned city lists, the nine Tier 1 expansion countries are complete, all eight Tier 2 countries are complete, and all seventeen Tier 3 countries are now live, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, Cyprus, Slovenia, Serbia, Slovakia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, North Macedonia, Luxembourg, San Marino, and Andorra, closing out this tier, all following the same Country/State/City/Landmark hierarchy where standard visitor logistics apply — Ukraine remains the one deliberate exception, covered as cultural heritage with an honest safety disclosure instead, and Andorra's own single destination is a roadless, pedestrian-only valley rather than a ticketed monument. Each carries its own checked story: Spain's five cities each have a separate UNESCO listing, the UK's two cities take different approaches (London with four separate sites and Edinburgh with one listing built around internal contrast), Italy's four cities range from Rome's and Florence's shared five-criteria historic-center listings to Milan's single-building site to Venice's city-and-lagoon listing holding all six possible UNESCO criteria, Greece mixes both approaches across its five cities (Athens's and Delphi's shared five-criteria listings, Meteora's mixed cultural-and-natural listing, and Santorini and Mykonos grounded in documented stories instead of a UNESCO plaque), Turkey does the same across its three (Istanbul's four-area listing, Cappadocia's mixed cultural-and-natural site, and Antalya's Hadrian's Gate and Aspendos), and Germany closes out the baseline with Berlin's established 1999 UNESCO listing, Munich's connection to a listing inscribed as recently as July 2025, and Frankfurt's UNESCO-free history at the Kaiserdom.

Every city's most-visited landmarks now have their own standalone, independently sourced page, rather than being folded into one long city-overview article, a genuine structural change from how this pillar's earliest guides were originally written.
