🌍 Countries

The list travellers brag about: every country in the world, continent by continent, and the quick trips that tick off three at once.

195 countries

Every Country

All 195: the 193 members of the United Nations and its two observer states, Vatican City and Palestine. Taiwan and Kosovo are on their continent's list, not this one, which follows the UN.
3 countries

Benelux

Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg: three countries a train crosses in a day.
3 countries

The Baltic States

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: three medieval capitals, Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius, a bus ride apart.
5 countries

The Nordic Countries

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden: fjords, saunas, the midnight sun and the northern lights.
6 countries

Europe's Microstates

The six smallest countries in Europe, from Malta to Vatican City, which is smaller than New York's Central Park. Each is an easy add to a bigger trip.
7 countries

Central America

The seven countries on the land bridge from Mexico to Colombia, Belize to Panama: volcanoes, cloud forest and two oceans a day's drive apart.
13 countries

The Caribbean

The thirteen island nations of the Caribbean, from Cuba and Jamaica to Grenada and Barbados. Cruise ports count as long as you went ashore.
11 countries

Southeast Asia

The eleven countries from Myanmar to Timor-Leste: the backpacker loop through Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, and the islands beyond it.
27 countries

The European Union

The 27 member states of the EU, from Ireland to Cyprus. Most share a currency and open borders, so they add up faster than you'd think.
12 countries

South America

All twelve countries of South America, from Colombia to the tip of Chile: the most finishable continent.
45 countries

Europe

Every country in Europe, Iceland to Russia, including Kosovo and Vatican City. Continents follow the UN's regions, so Turkey and Cyprus are on Asia's list.
23 countries

North America

Canada, the United States and Mexico, Central America and the island nations of the Caribbean: 23 countries.
14 countries

Oceania

Australia, New Zealand and the island nations of the Pacific. Some, like Nauru and Tuvalu, see fewer visitors in a year than a big concert.
49 countries

Asia

Every country in Asia, from Turkey and the Middle East to Japan, including Taiwan. The biggest continent, and the longest list after Africa.
54 countries

Africa

All 54 countries of Africa: the longest list of any continent.
