10 分钟Hi there, it's Dan Snow, host of the Dan Snow's History Hit podcast.
It is officially summer here in Europe.
I would love for you to accompany me on a history lover's holiday vacation around this continent.
On my podcast throughout August, I'll be your guide to Europe's most iconic historical hotspots,
