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 Inventions

Over the last centuries, Europe brought to humanity many of the greatest breakthroughs. Think about the telephone, the printed press, cinema, the world wide web or the telescope… Or inventions impacting our daily lives such as eyeglasses, toothpaste or soft contact lenses...

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 Rock Playlist

Let’s rock Europe again! There is no need to highlight again the European creativity and in particular in rock music. After two decades of famous bands and rockers, a new range of European artists is rising in every single part of Europe.

European Festivals

Tomorrowland, Sziget, Gastonbury, Roskilde — Summer is already looming despite the chilly weather, so it's time to draw out your calendars, because the rich and dense festival season is around the corner!

European Fillers

We say “uh…” or “um…” in English, “euh…” in French, “äh…” in German and “yyy…” in Polish. A two-person conversation can sometimes be like a tennis match and filler sounds are here to help you think!
