      I once had a US dude confidently explain to me (an European) that "they don't have AC or elevators" in Europe.

        I will say it is constantly told to me (an American in very hot Texas) that while it may not get as hot, summers are worse across the pond because AC is not as widespread. At least that's what Britons say. Is that not the case in much of continental Europe? Does the answer change significantly with latitude?

          When I visited my family in Germany we stayed in a house that didn't have A/C, so I would believe that it's less common overall. We also went to a lot of places with still-standing medieval architecture while we were there and none of those old buildings had A/C either.

        Fancy Europe even has elevators to the first floor. You won't see that in america.
