Its cathedrals, castles, art museums, historic battlefields, hillside vineyards, picturesque villages, mountain ranges and inviting beaches rank high on modern-day bucket lists. It is far and away the most popular continent among tourists with nearly 600 million international visitors in 2014. France, Spain and Italy are #1, #3 and #5 respectively as the world's top destinations. It's hard to find a better place to eat, drink and be merry.
