Europe
is the most western peninsula of the Eurasian continent, and
as such has plenty of expansive coastlines. Each country has
developed its maritime traditions over the centuries and for
over a thousand years discoverers and conquerors sailed from
the coasts of Europe.
These traditions are revived each year with sailing and port festivals, amongst which we select and present you with some of the most interesting.
In Hamburg every year the harbour's birthday is a tribute to traditional navigation; in St. Tropez you can mingle with rich yacht owners; and in Great Britain "Skandia Cowes Week" lures with its enormous yacht speedboats. Succumb to the charm of the tall ships and enjoy dreaming of far away lands and the furthest expanses of this great world!

"As a European I welcome the publication of this Top 500 Events guide. It's really much more. It's an encyclopaedia of regional traditions and customs in Europe , and a valuable journey planner for every European citizen. It will be my vademecum on trips throughout Europe in future.
I hope that you too will derive plenty of enjoyment from the guide, and that it will help to bring Europe still a little closer together."
