How many countries have you been to Europe

106 replies

Linnytwinny · 16/11/2025 13:39

As long as I can remember, I have had a life long goal to visit every country in Europe.

It is a slow process. I am 41 and so far I have visited 27 out of 44.

Slowly ticking then off. Like a lot of us I dont get a lot of annual leave a year.

How many have you been to?

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 16/11/2025 13:56

I've been to about 20 countries in Europe. There are others that I would like to visit, but not necessarily as a priority as I enjoy exploring beyond Europe too.

WelcomeToMonkeyTown · 16/11/2025 13:57

UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Vatican City, San Marino, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Transdiniester (if you count it), Greece, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus, Czechia, Serbia, Bosnia,Slovenia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania.
I’d love to visit them all too. I’m lacking somewhat with Scandinavia & the Baltics

IdentifyingAsAWoollyMammoth · 16/11/2025 13:57

All 4 countries of the UK, plus Ireland, Belgium, Greece, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. Not a huge number bearing in mind I'm almost 52. Not been to any other countries outside Europe.

Cynic17 · 16/11/2025 14:03

All 4 in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Czechia, Vatican City, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel and Russia.

Alongthetowpath · 16/11/2025 14:05

16, (plus all the countries that make up the UK.)

I would love to visit Iceland.

poorchurchmouse · 16/11/2025 14:06

I’ve been to 18. France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Denmark, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Malta and Cyprus. I actually can’t remember if I’ve been to Luxembourg- if I have it was a flying visit for work.

RescueMeFromThisSilliness · 16/11/2025 14:06

Scotland, Wales, England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Greece. We did have plans to go to Moldova, but that's been put on hold for the time being, for obvious reasons.

vincettenoir · 16/11/2025 14:09

I’ve been to 17. If there’s more you want to visit you might want to go inter-railing. It’s a great way to get around.

Suednymph · 16/11/2025 14:12

I googled the list so going in alphabetical order and apparently 15 of them I have visited is:

Bulgaria
Cyprus
Denmark
England
France
Ireland
Italy
Luxembourg
Malta
Netherlands
Northern Ireland
Scotland
Spain
Turkey
Wales

HeadDeskHeadDesk · 16/11/2025 14:17

14 out of 44. But I've been to quite a few more non-European countries than most people so I can't complain.

HeadDeskHeadDesk · 16/11/2025 14:18

If we are counting the Britain as separate countries then I've been to Scotland and Wales as well as England do that's 16, not 14.

Sunset6 · 16/11/2025 14:21

Israel is not in Europe!

mondaytosunday · 16/11/2025 14:22

I’ve only been to 13 (plus Wales and Scotland). Spain I’ve been to about 30 times. I go to the US a lot too. I’ve been as far away as Australia.

Suednymph · 16/11/2025 14:24

@mondaytosunday also been to Australia but not once to the states and no intention while the orange dictator is in power.

JamesClyman · 16/11/2025 14:27

Nine (or 11 if you count Jersey and Guernsey as separate countries).

Rosecoffeecup · 16/11/2025 14:32

10 I think - UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Croatia, Belgium

lostintranslation148 · 16/11/2025 14:35

25 including England, Scotland, Wales. Oh Turkey too if that counts as Europe. There are 4 more I plan to visit in the next few years.

Just looked up the wiki list and it says 46 countries in Europe. Realised i've also been to the Vatican City so actually 27 with Turkey too.

So snap OP! The one's I still want to visit are Estonia, Slovenia, Poland and Romania.
