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 Philosophers

Think about: what is Europe, if not a community of philosophers? What would be Europe without its philosophy? Better than Tinder, faster than OkCupid, just get to know some of the best European philosophers!

European Sneezes

Achoo! Atchoum! Atchim! Atsjú! Hatschi! Etcì! Europeans enjoy a rich vocabulary when it comes to sneezing... But why does the same body reaction produce different sounds all over Europe?

European Football Chants

If there is one characteristic all Europeans share across the continent, it is certainly their love for football! But by “football” Europeans don’t mean American football, that you actually play with a rather suspect ball, using your hands and not foot. No! European football!

European Wedding Rings

"Cause if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it, if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it..." Yes, sure! But wait a minute, on which finger? Would you put it rather on the left hand? or on the right hand?

European Musical Instruments

Whether you’re listening to a classical symphony or a Magyar marriage, on a Slovakian hillside or a Hawaiian beach, whether you want to pluck or blow, you can bet there’s a European instrument that can provide the perfect accompaniment.
