Europe

Here are all the countries in Europe that I’ve visited and have written posts about for Artsy Traveler. This list updates frequently as I keep returning to Europe to explore new countries.

Panoramic view of Vienna’s Michaelerplatz at sunset, showcasing the neoclassical Hofburg Palace with green domes and the illuminated white St. Michael's Church steeple, under a sky filled with pink and purple hues. The cobblestone plaza is empty in the foreground.
The colorful Nyhavn waterfront in Copenhagen, Denmark, featuring bright row houses, docked sailing boats, and bustling outdoor cafés, all reflected in the clear blue water under a cloudless sky.
The Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany, illuminated at night, with its steel arches glowing golden and reflecting on the Rhine River, alongside the towering Cologne Cathedral with its Gothic spires.
A panoramic view of Florence, Italy, featuring the iconic red dome of the Florence Cathedral, the Palazzo Vecchio’s clock tower, and the densely packed terracotta rooftops with distant hills on the horizon.

Beyond Europe

A panoramic view of Vancouver’s skyline at dusk, showing illuminated high-rise buildings, a stadium, and mountains in the background.
A vibrant keel-billed toucan perched on a moss-covered branch in a lush green rainforest.
