Sometimes in Western Europe we get from some people an anti American snobbery that American people don't travel , I always answer this by saying cost is a factor and also why would you need to leave the usa you can ski in Colorado get tropical in Florida / Hawaii see the desert in the South west mountains ,wilderness, big cities , musical history native history etc without leaving your country. I'm European by the way .

Because seeing other cultures is cool! Going to a place where you don't speak the language and can't read the road signs, where nobody looks like you or sounds like you, is a really wonderful experience. Even just going to a grocery store is kind of fascinating. Seeing how many words and phrases you can pick up and challenging yourself to get by. It's really awesome.

The US is a beautiful country with lots of different kinds of landscapes and cities and vibes, for sure. I've been there a couple of times and my map is still covered in hundreds of stars of places I want to see - as it is in my home country too, I never stop visiting it. I just think that the world is such a huge, exciting place, and it's great to try to see as much of it as you can while you're here.

going to a place whose road signs I can't read feels dangerous. Like, if I can't even read public info, how could I deal with customs and all? How do I make sure not tu offend a culture unknowingly. I'm from Colombia, and I've always thought about this in the context of fellow Colombians going to the US without knowing English

the places you would travel to as a casual traveler are likely to be tourist-heavy, so locals are accustomed to interactions with strange foreigners. you're very unlikely to significantly offend any locals as a tourist. I've traveled across lots of countries and cultures but can count on one hand the 'bad' encounters I've had with locals, and none of those were remotely enough to ruin the trip. Definitely don't miss out on traveling because you're worried about getting lost or offending locals. Watch Anthony Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown' if you want some travel inspiration

Because you don't travel for nature alone, mate. I don't need to see the Gran Cañon, as I have been to the Fish River Canyon numerous times. I have been to the Alps in all seasons, so what if the Rockies are a bit craggier and younger? (And I don't ski unless I live right next to the pistes, which I did for 2 years in Austria.)

And the US has no Eiffel Tower, no Saint Peters, no Leaning Tower, no Brandenburg Gate, no Neuschwanstein, no Eagles Nest, no Paseo de Gracia, no Marble Arch, no Eremitage – just copies at best.

Traveling in the U.S. is certainly rewarding and it is a large and diverse place. In fact, I would even agree that to an extent in some contexts the U.S. is analogous to a single other country; and in some contexts it's more analogous to a subcontinent or group of countries.

However, the idea that you don't "need" to travel--or that any other travel is relatively valueless--for that reason is exactly the kind of blinkered provincialism that leads to negative American stereotypes abroad. The existence of treasures in the U.S. don't make the treasures of other countries and other places somehow less interesting, less compelling, less important or less fun.

If you are not from Europe and are doing a tour there, you can visit plenty of countries in a few weeks...If you went to North America for a few weeks holiday, you'd probably only visit or 3 countries at most...if you live in Europe, it would be quite common to visit multiple nearby countries every year

It is believable if 45% have visited Italy. The Vatican number is about 42% of the Italy number. That makes sense. Except for nearby Europeans, most people visiting Italy probably go to Rome. Why not wander over to the Vatican while you are there? (Full disclosure: that's why I went there.)

Wtf, definetely not. People tend to travel to places are closer to them and most jetpunkers are from Europe or USA.

Everything that's been said about how easy it is to travel within Europe is true (relatively close, not as expensive as other travels, no need for a VISA...). However, I still wouldn't compare it to travel within US States, as there is a greater cultural and especially linguistic barrier between many European countries. While most of my European friends have travelled extensively, I also know several French people who'd rather go to Canada than to Spain or Italy, because they're afraid of the language barrier. I'm sure there are also lots of people of the US, among those who can afford it, who don't travel because of the language barrier.

Level 69
Aug 14, 2023
I dont think the language barrier feels as strong to most of the world as it feels to americans. Itsnot that of a big deal, I traveled to russia when I was young and could only speak portuguese and an OK english and the trip was wonderful.

I mean, obviously people get excited to travel somewhere you can speak the language, so makes sense french wanting to visit canada, but I really doubt french people would avoid travelling to italy bc of the language

You clearly did not read the description: People that listed the countries they have been to on here, which is mainly people from Europe and North America, who will mainly travel to Europe and North America. Since Europe has a bunch of countries that are easily visited by Europeans, and as many Statsiders will do a bucket list of destinations when they come over, the European countries dominate.

What are the archetypical Euro family vacations? (for English speakers)

I can group these by (UK//Portugal/Spain/France/Lowlands/Nordic). Are international car road trips popular? Or does train/plane make the logistics & fees easier?

I'm a little confused about how to group Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Poland, and Croatia.

I know of "dozen countries in 24 hours" types of trips.

I'm a little surprised to see the absence of Japan, China, SK, UAE, Russia, and maybe the Philippines or Thailand.

I was thinking of their aviation & languages. I'm guessing Russia has visa/language challenges. And maybe a lack of tourist industry due to distance + climate? No desire to go all the way to Moscow, just for Moscow?

I would've thought there'd be more SEA; something like Bangkok>KL>Singapore>Hanoi>Manila. Maybe it is too overwhelming to try to plan that with the language barriers. Same for Tokyo>Seoul>Vladivostok>Shanghai/Beijing.

There's only so much time & money. And easier trips to make.

Vatican City here is such a funny result. Obviously statistically it makes sense that of the ~45% of people who have lived or visited Italy, many would have gone to Rome and therefore the Vatican, but it just never crossed my mind until after the quiz. Very weird to see it up here with much much bigger tourist destinations like France or Spain.

It's clear by the comments that most people can't read. It clearly states "lived or visited" so it would be weird if Caribbean countries were on this list with such small populations.

Monarchists in the UK would have us believe that the monarchy is essential to the tourist industry. Yet four of the top five most visited countries are republics, and number one (by some margin) remains France, who famously disposed of the their kings and queens nearly 250 years ago.

Yeah republics are popular in this ranking, but that doesnt change that the monarchy is popular with tourists in England, people go to tower of London to see how they literally turn them into more gold than human for coronation and go to castles because they are castles, for people that do not know how a monarchy is, that is interesting
