List of European countries by area

Below is a list of European countries and dependencies by area in Europe.[1] As a continent, Europe's total geographical area is about 10 million square kilometres.[2] Transcontinental countries are ranked according to the size of their European part only. Inland water is included in area numbers.

List of European countries and dependencies by area edit

Definition edit

Europe and Asia are contiguous with each other; thus, the exact boundary between them is not clearly defined, and often follows historical, political, and cultural definitions, rather than geographical.

Certain countries in Europe, such as France, have territories lying geographically outside Europe, but which are nevertheless considered integral parts of that country.
