The labeled map of Europe is a printable political map that names all 51 countries of the continent and marks their capital cities, and it comes in two free versions as a JPEG and a PDF, with a bundle of five adding more. Both versions name every country; only one of them names the capitals too.
Because the names are already on it, this is the reference sheet: the copy to check answers against, pin to a wall, or hand out when the exercise is about reading a map rather than filling one in. For the version students complete themselves, use the blank map of Europe, or pair the two, one to work on and one to mark from.
It pairs well with our geography worksheets. For the other continents named the same way, see the labeled continent maps.

Which Free Version Should You Download?
Both are free and both name every country. The difference is how much detail comes with them.
| Version | What is on it | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free Labeled Map | Countries, capitals starred, and a second tier of major cities such as Hamburg, Lyon, Barcelona, Manchester and Odesa. Adds the islands and dependencies with their parent country in brackets, the Arctic Circle, a latitude grid and every surrounding sea | Detailed reference work, and any exercise that involves capitals or cities |
| Free Political Map | A cleaner sheet: countries and seas named, no capitals and no cities, larger type and simpler colours. Note that it labels North Macedonia by its former name | Reading from a distance, wall display, and lessons about borders rather than cities |

*Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkey lie in both Europe and Asia, and Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Cyprus are counted differently depending on the source. That is why you will see Europe given as 44, 46, 50 or 51 countries: the number depends on where the mapmaker draws the line, not on any disagreement about the map itself.
The Seas Around Europe
Europe has more coastline for its size than any other continent, and both maps name the water as carefully as the land.
Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Barents Sea, Bay of Biscay, Black Sea, Celtic Sea, English Channel, Greenland Sea, Ionian Sea, Irish Sea, Ligurian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Sea, Norwegian Sea, Sea of Azov, Tyrrhenian Sea and the White Sea are all labelled.
About Europe
Europe covers about 10.2 million square kilometres, which makes it the second smallest continent, yet it holds roughly 745 million people and more countries per square kilometre than anywhere else. Six of its states are microstates, Vatican City, Monaco, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Andorra and Malta, and Vatican City is the smallest country in the world at under half a square kilometre, which is why it appears on both maps as a leader line rather than a shape. Russia is the largest country in Europe and in the world, though only about a quarter of it lies west of the Urals. Mount Elbrus in the Caucasus is the highest point at 5,642 metres, and Mont Blanc the highest in the Alps at 4,806 metres. The Volga is the longest river at about 3,530 kilometres, ahead of the Danube, which passes through more countries than any river on Earth. Those are the details a named map of Europe is consulted for, which is why every country and every sea on it is written out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions people ask most about the free labeled map of Europe.
How many countries are there in Europe?
These maps show 51. Counts of 44, 46 and 50 are also in circulation, because Russia, Turkey and Kazakhstan straddle Europe and Asia and because Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Cyprus are placed differently by different sources. The disagreement is about where the continent ends, not about the countries themselves.
Does the map show the capital cities?
The Free Labeled Map does: every capital is starred and named, and a second tier of major cities is marked as well. The Free Political Map names the countries and the seas only, which is what makes it the cleaner sheet to read from a distance.
What is the difference between the two free versions?
Detail. The Free Labeled Map is an atlas-style sheet with capitals, major cities, islands, dependencies, the Arctic Circle and a latitude grid. The Free Political Map is simpler and larger-lettered, with countries and seas only.
Can I print the map of Europe in A4 size?
Yes, both files are sized for A4 and print on US Letter without cropping. The PDF keeps its line quality when enlarged, so the same download also works for a poster-size print or a classroom wall chart.
Is the labeled map of Europe free to download?
Yes, both versions are free in PDF and JPEG, with no sign-up. Only the Europe maps bundle, which adds five further versions, carries a small one-off price.
