Europe, the birth place of Western civilisation, and the wealth of cultural curiosities that have derived from this ancient civilisation make this continent a wonderland for avid explorers and cultural investigators. There are endless options available for getting around this expansive continent, with modes of transport varying from country to country. Mainland Europe's longest rooted societies have developed road systems unparalleled to most road networks in other parts of the world, making driving one of the most efficient options for cross-country transportation around the continent. In the past decade, thousands of low-fare airlines have popped seemingly out of nowhere, providing services to almost every imaginable destination in Europe at very affordable prices. Eurorail passes have become a popular option with young backpackers wishing to ingest as much European culture as possible in a reasonably short space of time.
