Here is Europe’s Complete Country Checklist.

A checklist of all 44 countries for the Europe.

Traveling the world is on many of our bucket lists and some of us even might make it a point to try and visit all of the countries in the world. This blog lists all of the European countries from A to Z including their major cities, the main languages spoke in the country, their currency, and if they are part of the European Union or not. 

Now, believe it or not, determining which countries are in Europe is sort of a gray line. The internet gave me multiple answers from 44 to 51. Therefore, for the sake of this Europe checklist, I’ve gone with listing out Europe’s 44 countries.
