EUROPE
LOW ELEVATION
Europe is the planet’s sixth largest continent, including forty-six countries, as well as a few dependencies, territories
and regions. The landscapes of Europe are incredibly diverse, from the spectacular Alps and dramatic coastlines to the
medieval cities. Similarly, the continent of Europe is an interesting mix of cultures, religions and lifestyles.
With so many unique places to visit, traveling light is a must. Quick drying short shirts and underwear are essential items
for the lightweight traveller, allowing you to launder your clothes over night. In the summer months the sun is especially
harsh around the Mediterranean. Hats, collars, and sunscreen will help to prevent sunburn.
Europe is mainly in
the temperate climate
zones and experiences
milder weather than other areas of
similar latitude. Rainy seasons are spring
and autumn while summers are mild with
pleasant temperatures. Spring is a beautiful
time to year of travel when tulips and other
flowers are in bloom. Summer is considered
the most popular time to travel with long,
hot days and often humid conditions. The
interior can have very hot summers and
intense sunshine.
