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:

    “I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
