No European capital sits in Europe and Asia. Istanbul is a city that straddles the two continents and it is often mistaken to be the capital of Turkey, although the true capital is Ankara and lies completely in Asia.

What is Europe's national capital?

Well, there isn't one. Each country that comprises Europe has its own capital city. Eg For the UK it's London, for France it's Paris. If you consider the European Union them there is a parliament that sits in Brussels (Belgium) so perhaps that is the closest to a European capital. However, the economic power sits firmly with Germany, so you could argue that the more significant capital is Frankfurt. If I had to opt for one, it's Brussels!
