10.) Iceland
Okay, before you say… “hey, Iceland is huge – how is it a micro-state???” Well let me explain. Although the geographic landmass of Iceland is much larger than the rest of the European micro-states, if we count resident numbers it is actually smaller than quite a few. Iceland is such a perfect place to visit and witness the Northern Lights, The Blue-Lagoon, Whale-Watching, Glaciers, rugged coastal paths and so much more.
