Europe

Across Europe, chocolate was a winning choice in Switzerland, Belgium and Ireland. It also came as no surprise to see people love to purchase a beret from France, beer from Germany, clogs from the Netherlands, The Evil Eye from Turkey and Venetian Masks from Italy.

Lego was the top souvenir in Denmark, where it originated, and umbrellas were the top pick in England, likely due to the unpredictable weather.
