What is the oldest national anthem in the world? Which anthem can't be sung because it has no lyrics? Which country adapt its anthem to the gender of its monarch? Anthems in Europe are full of surprises...

Take the survey

(only three questions!)

European Spirits

Let us take you on a boozy tour of Europe's liquid soul. From the fiery Pálinka of Hungary, the fancy Limoncello of Italy to the smooth Vodka of Poland, our continent has a spirit to suit every taste and occasion.

European Countries’ Nicknames

Have you ever wondered what your neighbouring country’s nicknames are, and how they got them? Do you know which European country is considered the Land of a Thousand Lakes? Where do the nicknames ‘Albion’, ‘Hellas’, ‘Magyars’ or ‘Lusitania’ come from?

European Drama Films

Europeans excel in the art of producing great drama films – feeding us with emotions, passion and reflections. So you better get out your handkerchief – because Europe is calling!

European Breads

Home is where the bread is. But the soft and warm smell of the French baguette has little in common with the strong and dry odour of Norwegian Fjellbrød, or the herbal, salty Italian Focaccia...

European Surnames

You're looking for a friend called 'Pierre Martin' in France ? Hard cheese, he's going to be tough to find. Don't even try to type 'Rossi' in an Italian search engine! Meanwhile, in Germany, 'Müller' is so frequent that you may end up... in a supermarket!
