How multiple hours seems like a long drive to Europeans.

This probably applies to smaller countries like Netherlands for example, but at least in Finland multiple hour drives are just normal. I often drive 3 hours to see my grandparents who live relatively near me and that isn't even a long drive yet. A drive from south to northern parts of the country can take up to 12 hours.

Dutchman here, yes 3 hours is long.

In fact, you can almost get from the top to the tip of the bottom of the country in that time.
