It depends who you ask when you wonder where Europe starts. Some might say Brussels. Others might throw Strasbourg or Berlin into the mix. But if you ask a Luxembourgish local, the answer is usually just one word: Schengen. Yes, Schengen, not the visa, the actual village. It is a tiny village in the very south of Luxembourg that lent its name to the whole Schengen Area, the passport-free zone that lets you jump between countries without anyone asking for your ID. The place is almost too small to believe it changed Europe, but here we are, another proof that size does not matter...
