Asia is the world’s largest (44,579,000 km²) and most populous 4,774,315,138 (2024) continent. Asia shares the landmass of Eurasia with Europe and Afro-Eurasia with both Europe and Africa. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean, and on the north by the Arctic Ocean.

The border of Asia with Europe is a historical and cultural construct, as there is no clear physical and geographical separation between them. Asia is separate from Europe by the watershed of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea, the Greater Caucasus, the Black Sea, and the waterways of the Turkish straits.

From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the serene temples of Kyoto, every corner of Asia is filled with unique experiences waiting to be discovered. Indulge your senses with the aromatic flavors of Asian cuisine, relax on pristine beaches, or trek through lush jungles and towering mountains. Whether you’re drawn to the ancient wonders of Angkor Wat, the vibrant markets of Mumbai, or the tranquil rice terraces of Bali, Asia promises to leave you spellbound. Let the allure of Asia captivate your soul and create memories that will last a lifetime.
