A few steamboats, like Delta Queen, have remained as icons. 8. Volga River Europe considers Volga river as their longest river while Russia considers it as the most important river in their country. Out of the 20 biggest capitals of Russia, 11 of them, including Russia’s capital, Moscow, are located in the drainage basin of Volga. It begins at an altitude of only 225 meters (740 feet) in the Valday Hills northwest of Moscow and exits 3,645 km further (2,266 miles) into the Caspian Sea. The Volga River is important to Russia when it comes to their domestic freight and transport, even though the river freezes for 3 months every year. 7. Zambezi River.

It begins in Germany’s black forest and runs eastwards for a span of some 2850 km (1771 miles), crossing through 4 centers, before draining into the Black Sea. After the achievement of the German Rhine-Main-Danube Canal in 1992, the river was included in a trans-European waterway from the black sea up to the Rotterdam in the North Sea. 3.

Amazon River At about 6,400 km or 4,000 miles, the Amazon River is the 2nd largest river in the planet, somewhat smaller than the Nile although legitimate sources object as to the specific length of the two rivers. What is true is that the Amazon is the longest river in the planet by volume, with a whole river current that values for about 1/5 of the world’s freshwater river flow. The Amazon and it’s tributaries run through Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, and Ecuador before draining toward the Atlantic Ocean.
