What would you say is the best national anthem in Europe? I don't know if it's the best but I like the Czech Republic's anthem:

I go with Ode to Joy (to be honest i actually know it better than the dutch Wilhelmus) Ah, you're thinking more supranational than national.

There are plenty of nice anthems around, even the more mediocre ones. I like our's (partly acapella version here). Even the music is fairly distinctive, hard to confuse it with another European anthem. Contrast that with the UK anthem and Liechtenstein anthem having the same basic melody due to historical happenstance... (The lyrics differ, of course.) There have been pretenders to the throne of the Slovak anthem, but a lot more generic and none of them ever came as close in terms of artistic merit. To me, there isn't a good alternative anthem for Slovakia. Musically, I have a strange fondness for the Finnish anthem and Dutch anthem. The Czech anthem and the Finnish anthem are quite similar in their focus on the land, though the Czech one is more operatic (as is typical of our central European anthems, LOL). The Finnish anthem appeals to me because it's deliberately non-bombastic and rather meek. Rather cute anthem. I generally don't like anthems that sound too martial or too nationalistic. Determined, patriotic, a bit nostalgic, but tasteful, those sorts of anthems I like more. Ones praising the land itself are good in my book as well. P.S. Ă…land has an anthem that sounds like a Swedish folk-pop chart hit from the 1970s. But it's a cute anthem.
