West Europe consists mainly of the Scandinavian countries, Ireland & UK, Benelux, Iberian countries, Italy and it’s microstates, Greece, France and the western part of central Europe. The living standard is higher as in the eastern countries. Connect cities by train or car and see another culture every day. Without any borders left one can freely hop around from country to country!
