One of the best ways to get to know a country and its people is through historical and cultural sights, and, luckily, Europe has plenty to admire. Every town and city around the continent has its own story to tell, often relating to resplendent monarchies, powerful alliances and sprawling empires.
From the well-preserved medieval towns of Germany to the Greek ruins of Athens and the Viking museums across Scandinavia, there are so many ways to look into the past to learn about the present. More often then not, a destination's history influences its food, attractions and traditions in the modern-day.
