Countries of Europe
Europe packs more than 40 countries into a relatively small continent, from Portugal in the west to the edge of Russia in the east, and from Iceland in the north to Malta in the south. In this map you fly across Europe and learn to place every country in the right spot.
You will meet large countries like France, Germany, Spain and Poland, tricky clusters such as the Balkans (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro) and the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and tiny ones like Monaco, San Marino, Liechtenstein and Andorra. Knowing the countries is the first step toward mastering Europe's capitals and rivers.

Russia is by far the largest country in Europe by area, although most of its territory lies in Asia. Among countries entirely within Europe, Ukraine is the largest, followed by France, Spain and Sweden.
What is the smallest country in Europe?
Vatican City is the smallest country in Europe and in the world, covering just 0.49 km² inside Rome. Other very small European states include Monaco, San Marino, Liechtenstein and Andorra, all easy to miss on a map.
What are the Balkan countries?
The Balkans, in southeastern Europe, include Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria and Greece. They are often tricky to learn because several small countries sit close together.
