There's more than 30 languages in Europe.

US feels like a capitalist monocolture, where every city looks pretty much like the others.

>where every city looks pretty much like the others.

If you're going to make a criticism of the US, this is easy to flip around - every city in Europe looks exactly like the other. A city centre with narrow streets and a central church or cathedral surrounded by blocks of flats. The specific architectural styles change but the idea is almost the same throughout.

Well, except for Paris, Berlin, Venice, Madrid, etc etc

"Has big streets" or "car dominant" isn't the monoculture of the US that people from Europe notice. It is the exact same chain of shops, restaurants, same style of clothes, same TV shows, same music, same brands of cars. If I go to a nearby city all this stuff is the same.

If I'm in Belgium and drive 3 hours I end up with different language, food, styles of dress, music. Apart from a few token multinationals the shops and restaurants are all different. Architecture is different. And the same story if I'm in Vienna, or Zurich, or Berlin, or Lisbon. Language, food, restaurants, shops, work culture, all different.

No. You have octagonal blocks of Barcelona, wide streets of Haussman's Paris and canals of Venice. And that's not even touching the postcommunist part of continent.
