Population Density in Europe

This map was made with the help of the data of Eurostat. The subdivisions of the countries follows NUTS 3 standards. I used a quantil-scale, which means each colors has about the same number of regions.

I got some feedback, that I maybe should have used a Log-scale. I tried that, but I prefer the look of the first one.

Here the list of the 25 densest territories in Europe.
