How do I Find a European Address?

Finding European addresses aren't all that different from finding local ones.

Finding an address that is located in Europe is a relatively effortless task as long as you have certain key components of information: Whether the location is a business or residence, what region of the country the address is located, and, ideally a street name or ZIP code. However, there are many parts of Europe that are still rural, making it more difficult to find the address on a map. For these types of addresses, contacting the person who lives or works at the location for instructions could be your best option.

Instructions

1. Consult the name of the business or country in Europe you wish to get the address for. Once you have done this, you can narrow your search.

2. Type the name of the business and the country it is located in into Google's search engine. A fairly lengthy list of businesses and correlating addresses will appear. Another way to cut your search time short is to go directly to Google Maps. For example, by typing in the words "bakery in Rome, Italy," a list of the most notable bakeries will come up, such as Vero and its complete address located at Via Marcantonio Colonna, 30, 00192 Roma, Italia.

3. Hone your search, ruling out addresses that are clearly not located in the European country you are seeking. If you are looking for a particular person's European address, the most likely way you are going to be able to find it is if the person in question has a reasonably uncommon name. Otherwise, several services, like Intelius (a prominent people search and directory service), will provide you with residential addresses if you are willing to pay a fee.
