Geography of Europe - Landlocked Countries

Landlocked Countries

  • Andorra
  • Armenia
  • Austria
  • Belarus
  • Czech Republic
  • Hungary
  • Kazakhstan
  • Kosovo
  • Liechtenstein
  • Luxembourg
  • Republic of Macedonia (name is currently under dispute)
  • Moldova
  • San Marino
  • Serbia
  • Slovakia
  • Switzerland
  • Vatican

Notes:

  1. Liechtenstein is doubly landlocked.
  2. Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, and Macedonia constitute a contiguous landlocked agglomeration of eight countries in Central Europe and the Balkans, stretching from Geneva all the way to Greece.
  3. All other landlocked countries (Luxembourg, Andorra, Vatican, San Marino, Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan) are "standalone" landlocked countries, not bordering any other such European one (the emphasis is necessary, since Kazakhstan borders Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, thus forming a vast landlocked expanse in Central Asia)

Famous quotes containing the word countries:

    “Indeed, men never know how to love. nothing satisfies them. All they know is to dream, to imagine new duties, to look for new countries and new homes. While we women, we know that we must hasten to love, to share the same bed, hold hands, and fear absence. When we women love, we dream of nothing.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
