I get it is a joke, but Germany is #2 visited by Americans and Netherlands is 4, above Italy at 5.
Where as we Europeans tend to visit every state in the US. /s
We don’t visit that scary place anymore. You could just as easy be diverted to El Salvador upon arrival.
Obviously. No European can pass up a chance to see Nebraska
Yeah, whenever I’m in Rochester, NY there’s always so many European tourists.
Stop gatekeeping tourism. “Oh, if you don’t live in each city of each country for at least a week, are you even outside your home?” Who TF you think has money for that? People will choose what they want to see. If they stay in one or two cities, they haven’t seen enough. If they run through 10 countries in 12 days, it was only a shallow visit. Who can win? Fuck off with that bullshit.
Traveling [place] implies you’re seeing a large enough portion of it to be representative to all of [place]. That’s what this is making fun of. Nobody says ‘im travelling the US’ when theyre just going to NYC and Florida. At most they’d say they’re going TO the US. That’s just what those respective phrasings imply. The meme isn’t ripping on not travelling or not travelling everywhere.
I have never heard anyone say that they’re “travelling Europe” in my life. I don’t think this is a thing. I’ve heard people say “I’m going to [insert European country]” instead. I’ve heard people claim to backpack across Europe, though I don’t know where that usually entails.
You can also just go to one of the other countries instead
I just said people will go to where they want to go. Did I fucking stutter?
If they want to go to Paris instead of the just as romantic Prague, you don’t get a say in it. None of your business.

idk i think “best” is doing rather a lot of work here. smaller countries can be quite interesting and hospitable as well. i quite enjoyed my time in finland personally
Obviously they also have to go to Eire and annoy the locals by claiming to be Irish and asking where the Blarney Stone is for a selfie.
I consider myself European, then German. The EU keeps the peace between the old rivals.
Latvian here. I have more trust/loyalty to EU than my country itself. Kinda weird when you think about it… or not.
+1
I’ve not done any traveling myself I’ll admit, but I would have figured at least Germany Spain and Greece would have also made the list from how much I hear of people visiting them. Especially Greece.
Americans don’t consider Greece part of Europe. It’s part of history.
This is a nonsense statement 🤣
I don’t understand how people come up with these narratives.
People rip on Americans like this because they don’t know we get 10 days off a year and have to pay $20,000 for the ambulance.
This is the only type of Euro Trip we can afford to take.
Strange, because eastern Europe is a lot cheaper to travel than France, Italy or the UK. Those are some of the most expensive countries actually.
Flying there from the US is more expensive and Americans generally don’t want to see Eastern Europe.
More cost, less benefit.
Might as well only mark the most visited cities and capitals.
Do we actually do this though? I spent two weeks in Europe and didn’t go to any of those places.
No different than European tourists “traveling the US” visiting a couple of big cities and maybe the Grand Canyon on a stop in between.
I’m sure that’s true for many people. When European tourists visit the US, however, how many are actually going deep into the interior of the US? Most tourists, I’d imagine, would be staying somewhat near one of the coasts and mainly sticking to the major cities. I doubt many Europeans have anywhere in Nebraska on their itineraries. Probably not a ton of European tourists in the US right now anyway, but I mean in the recent past at times of relative political normalcy.
It makes sense, though. Most people who are travelling don’t have the time or money to spend months seeing all the highlights of a place as large as Europe or the US. Even just these countries offer a ton to see, whether its the cities or the countryside. I can’t speak for how well-traveled Europeans are, but very few people in the US, even those who have lived long lives here, are able to say they’ve even visited every state, let alone seen the whole country. I bet that’s probably true of Europe for Europeans, too.
I myself don’t have much money for travelling, so I’ve only been to 11 states (and never even left the country), and I certainly did not see everything those states had to offer. Some states are often called “fly-over” states and, frankly, aren’t usually considered worthwhile places to visit anyway (even by Americans), so you can be forgiven for skipping those. I’m sure Europe has its equivalents, too.
This was my first thought when I saw your meme lol. Only other major destination might be Chicago
Orlando for Disney world
But fuck Florida on principle.
Maybe a coma might help you somewhere there… unless, that’s what you are into, in which case I won’t judge you
To be fair, it’d be a lot more difficult to comment if he was in a coma.
Lol, fair point
Orlando for
Disney worldGatorlandFTFY
Woo Gatorland! Best school field trip ever! (Okay but riding Space Mountain with the lights on was still neat…)
What about some of the famous national parks. I’ve seen a lot of europeans at places like Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone
I’ve been to many small places around Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota etc (that middle part full of nothing), voluntarily. Trying to do a road trip “Supernatural style” (the TV show, with burgers but without the monsters). I really liked that but I wanted to see real normal America, not the bells and whistles TV front.
Not to be rude but your huge cities (mostly NY and LA) sucks as a European. It’s not even the lack of public transport, it’s just that they are way too huge. Paris, London, Madrid, Warsaw etc are big, but not THAT big.
My plan for the next trip was to do rural Texas, I wanted to see real rednecks with my own eyes.
But… That was before the fire nation attacked. Now I’m staying in Europe, plenty of things to see here.
As someone who grew up in Texas, if you plan on visiting to see real Texas(sometime in the future of course) then I’d say come for the tex-mex food. Austin and surrounding areas would be good to visit.
For a more accurate map, erase everything south of Rome, including Sicily, as well as Corsica and Sardinia. At the northern end of things, probably also Ireland and Scotland.
Then make four new tiny islands and name them Barcelona, Munich, Amsterdam and Prague.At least put Amsterdam on there😂
Or be Danish:
American: I have been to Denmark! I love Denmark.
Visits Copenhagen only 🤡
Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Copenhagen is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of the country and especially Jutland where the vikings lived, Amleth’s grave is, where the king’s used to be crowned, the earliest Danish law that predates your frigging country by several centuries AND it is the place that Tolkien based Middle Earth and characters like Eowyn on. You could literally go visit the real Helms Deep, Isengard, Aros and Esgaroth and you could go visit the place of the legendary shieldmaiden Hervør who inspired Eowyn and in some ways Aragorn too.
But no no. cOpEnHaGen is Denmark. The one city in Denmark where no one speaks Danish, lol.
To be fair… most of those sights are piles of mud with sign posts.
For tourists I’d rather recommend the cold war museum, the original Lego land, the beaches on the west coast, hiking along the east coast fjords, the lakes at Silkeborg, the desert at Skagen, the ruins at Kalø, the various nature reserves.
There’s plenty of stuff to see. May, June and August are the best times to visit. The rest of the year has unpredictable weather.
Bro give me your best tips on where to go in this magical place. What to do, what to see.
That is if you’ll welcome me, an ignorant neighbour Swede who’s only ever been to Copenhagen also and thinks it’s Denmark.
EDIT: aw man https://old.reddit.com/r/tolkienfans/comments/xec987/tolkien_and_jutland_denmark/
American: I have been to Jutland! I love Jutland.
Visits Midtjylland only 🤡
Especially offensive if you are a Jut like moi. You motherfuckers come here and think Midtjylland is Denmark, yet entirely ignore the rest of Jutland and especially Vestjylland where the oldest viking town is, where Dronning Dagmar died, where witches were burned, where old fisheries and new energy tech stand side by side, where beautiful beaches are littered with crazy nazi bunkers, where you can go north and surf or go south and see the flattest fucking place in the world, walking across the Vadehav to a literal island at low tide.
But no no. mIdTjYlLaNd is Denmark. The one place in Jutland where no one speaks Jutlandic, lol.
East Europe: skeleton sitting on a chair at the bottom of the lake

That is as likely as a cartel hit in New York because it’s so close to Mexico.
Actually, metros in Eastern Europe tend to be safer for tourists by statistics for some reason.
That’s like being scared in Chicago because something exploded in Washington.
