Maybe but a brief look at statistics e.g. https://www.statista.com/statistics/254155/inbound-travel-from-western-europe-to-the-us/ and https://www.statista.com/statistics/311580/outbound-travel-from-the-us-to-europe-by-destination/ seems to show that in 2019 14 millions from Western Europe went to the United States while 12 millions from the US visited Western Europe. I'm not sure what's the overlap between Western Europe and Southern Europe visitors but I'd argue the order of magnitude appears similar. Consequently and keeping in mind the population size, if travelers to and from have any significance to the understanding of the size of a place, then comprehension would be about equivalent.

Depends where they go though. I'm guessing people on both sides mostly visit a select few cities in WE or US, and don't really get a feel for the sprawl of the country in general.

The US is mindbogglingly large, whereas finding remote spots in WE is more of a challenge.
