Quoting Koper (Thread starter): What Is The European Country You Prefer More?
Surprisingly, France. That country is absolutely beautiful and when the people aren't being a bunch of asstraps, they are quite nice as well. Stay out of Paris and you'll know what I mean.

Quoting Braybuddy (Reply 12): I thought the idea of this thread was to name European countries OTHER than your own, like the Eurovision Song Contest.
Royaume Uni - nul points !
I liked Norway (lovely people, great history, amazing landscapes), Italy (mad place to live, but such fun to visit - all the history, culture, cuisine in the world), and the UK (OK, it's a bit boring, but it's comfy, like an old sweater)
Cornwall isn't a country - it is at best a Pictish backwater
25 PlymSpotter: Try telling that to anyone Cornish
26 Lewis: My country would come first but for the rest of Europe here's my list: 1)The Netherlands 2)UK 3)Spain 4)Belgium

33 LO231: What can anyone like in German history? What's so lovely about it? Regards, LO231
34 Koper: I agree LO231. I think that some forumer think that the artistic heritage in Europe is just looking at an airport..
35 Kay: Regarding this question, there are two highlights of art in Europe and that's it: - France and the moyen-age: Louis XIV and all that was done by him
36 Koper: Thank You Kay! That's what i was searching. I mean, what country has the largest artistic heritage, i think UNESCO has made a list.[Edited 2006-06-17
37 Koper: Thank You Kay! That's what i was searching. I mean, what country has the largest artistic heritage, i think UNESCO has made a list.
38 PSA727: Germany first followed by France. But I must also make note of Czech Republic!
39 Koper: again. Can you explain the reason? What's attracting of the German history and artistic heritage for example?
40 LO231: I know!! At least we agree at something Europe suffered a great deal from German "history" so we should concentrate more on German culture. Which is
42 Kay: In many ways, this country is beautiful, but do you mean the country or the capital and what are your reasons? Kay
43 LO231: As a tourist, I'd say both. Vienna is beautiful, lots of things to see, but the nature in the Alps is breathtaking, too! Regards, LO231
44 PSA727: Let's see... The invention of the printing press made books accessible to not just a select few...which brought forth the Enlightenment and Renaissan
45 LO231: That's what I meant. great culture, and I love the country. Regards, LO231
47 LO231: Roman Empire? A wild guess. Regards, LO231

49 Aloges: We do have a history predating 1933 (and 1914, too), you know. A pretty bad headache for the Romans.
50 LO231: I know, but who remembers? Regards, LO231
51 Koper: Ah really? What would have been Europe and the western culture today without the Roman Empire?
52 PSA727: What would have been Europe and the Western culture today without das deutsche Reich?
53 FRAspotter: Well... considering I was born in Germany and that I still live here 18 years later, I would have to say Germany. Great country, no where else in Euro

63 Aloges: Would that include or exclude the football team at the moment?
64 PSA727: As much as you probably don't want to acknowledge it, the standard of living in Western Europe today for all of its citizens is a lot higher than it
65 LO231: Which football team?? I don't know ANY... Maybe in the US, ask some Europeans. Their first answer to history will be World War II.
66 Halls120: Both Vienna and the entire country. I visit Vienna on business at least once a year - often more, and it is my favorite European city. Unbelievable m
67 TACAA320: Spain [La Madre Patria] Italy France [J'aime Strasbourg] Portugal
