Europe, the second smallest continent, has a long history of human development and is considered the cradle of Western civilization.
Today, its cultural wealth is used to cement a colorful European community and is exported around the world as one of the continent’s greatest assets.
But Reddit user Doeyy0 I wanted to dig deeper.so they made post On the platform, we asked users, “What’s the most European thing ever?” From cobblestone streets to kebab stalls, here are the most popular responses they received.
From an American point of view. Kebab shop. I have traveled all over Europe and they are *everywhere* and I have stopped in too many places. I might be able to eat durum kebab now…
Drive between 4 countries to go on vacation without a passport or visa, using the same currency everywhere.
Plus, you can use your phone forever without any additional charges.
One big difference is how the roads are laid out from the village to the big city. They all have numerous squares or public meeting places. You can enjoy your drinks….music, people watching. No need to drive anywhere. Lots of local pubs. I always wondered how so many Europeans could get by with these tiny refrigerators. There are many butchers, bakeries, farmer’s markets, cheese, delis and flower shops within walking distance. They always shop locally and fresh. No car.
My uncle lived in a large condominium or in a residential area over there. Butchers, bakers, fruit, produce, etc. moved out for a few hours every Saturday. Everything is fresh, local and absolutely delicious. And you don’t need a car.
By far the most European is the quaint and charming cobbled streets winding through the medieval city, flanked by towering cathedrals and quaint cafes serving espresso and croissants. The timeless elegance of the picturesque vineyards of Tuscany, the romantic waterways of Venice and the boulevards of Paris. It is the sizzling aroma of fresh sausages that waft through his markets at Christmas in Germany, the contagious energy of Spanish fiestas, and the hauntingly beautiful tunes of traditional Irish ballads. Most European by far is the rich tapestry of cultures, cuisines and landscapes that make up this diverse and endlessly fascinating continent.
Pubs, schools, random post office buildings… older than any building in America
On a business trip to Texas, someone asked me what it’s like to not have a gun.

One of the strange things I’ve learned about other countries is how they receive American music on their radios, while we rarely receive their music on our radios. is not. These days, the closest we get is his BTS’ Boy With Luv featuring Halsey.
