Europe is a cultural paradise and also the birthplace of many artists who have changed the way we look at the world today. Picasso, Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Monet were all born in Europe and have enormously contributed to the rich European art and history that we enjoy today. The great writers Shakespeare, Baudelaire have also inspired and shaped up European history.

Cultural tourism examples

Be it the enormous history behind the rise and fall of the Berlin wall or the Brandenburg gate that once symbolized divided Germany. Be it Roman Pantheon, the most preserved influential building and burial ground for Ancient Europe’s eminent personalities or Spanish steps, an elegant and vibrant Roman square augmented by colourful flowers. Europe undeniably has a huge cultural heritage and it is unarguably absolutely magical and charismatic.

It doesn’t end there. Michelangelo’s passion for his art can be seen in every frame of Sistine Chapel; a masterpiece that he created toiling away years creating it. The same frenzy can be seen in Antoni Gaudi’s work building the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Leonardo’s most sought after painting Monalisa at the Louvre Museum, Paris is in demand for a reason and inspires interests with art lovers for a cause. The Anne Frank House, now a world-renowned museum where the famed writer took asylum during the Nazi invasion did not see less of life, her diary is up for public view for a purpose. The generation today and the future generations to come must know what it has taken to live the privileged life that they have today, and here's where culture tourism becomes pivotal.
