Finland. Definitely the most beautiful country in Europe I have ever visited. Warm summers and freezing cold winters. People that accept “hermits” like me. I might have been a Finn in a former life. Also so many gorgeous lakes. Only downside: mosquitoes, these vile creatures own half of the country.

I think I’m the first one to say it, but yes, as an Austrian I pick Germany. Living here since many years now, and a few more to come. It’s not always perfect, but every country has its disadvantages I believe.

From the mountains of Bavaria to the coastlines in the North, life here is good 😃

I’d have to say America. I know it’s not European, and is my own country, but it’s by far the best country in the world. I mean, look at our beautiful red white and blue flag. I don’t think any country has ever used such beautiful colors.

German here - when I was on pilgrimage on the path of Saint Jacob, I fell in love with Spain. Been to the Canary islands as well and adored both the cuisine, the wine and the people alike. I don’t need the big cities, just give me the small villages, the small, universal grocery stores. If the world would ever go to hell, you’d fine me somewhere in the outskirts of Spain, in one of those small villages with less than 10 inhabitants, standing by the fire, cooking for and together with everyone.

A country is only as good as the people living in it. And that’s where Spain rules in my opinion.

Each has its own merit. I really struggle not Picking my own. It’s central, big and decent.

I’ll go with Switzerland.

I really like Amsterdam, but for the weather I’d go with Malta.

German, gotta go with Netherlands.

Love that we speak a bastardized version of each others languages, which allows us to somewhat reliably hold conversations without needing to use English and the likes.

(More or less)German who traveled to almost all countries of the EU/Europe: Italy with Romania being a close contender.

The combination of mountains and sea always gets me, but Italy wins by having those two combined more closely and the food being a slight bit more refined. The Danube Delta always beats the Po Delta,but both are still phantastic. Finland and Portugal are Nr. 3 and 4 on my list.

Austria is also nice, depending on the region. Oberösterreich and Kärnten can bite my shiny metall ass, but Vienna, Niederösterreich, Tirol, Vorarlberg are nice.

For some reason Iceland, Denmark and the Netherland are simply not my thing without me being able to describe why - I did not not enjoy them. But… They were always kind of “unmemorable”, maybe to easy, to similar to Germany, I don’t know.

Swiss here - Italy.

I’m from Germany and I haven’t had the opportunity to travel a lot. So I feel like I don’t know enough about any other European country to make such a decision. Damn I couldn’t even say which is the nicest region to live in Germany.

But as an European I do appreciate the opportunity to live and work in any EU country and to travel safely and without the need of a passport within the Schengen area. So that’s a good thing.

I am german. I loved slovenia, albania and iceland for both, lovely people and amazing nature.

I love many things about Bulgaria. The nature, the lively city centers and the overall vibes in the cities.

I’m from Germany and I truly wish our cities had some Bulgarian vibes.

As a German I have to say Spain. Especially the north around Galicia. The country has such a diverse culture and each region feels different.
