In Spanish, when we talk about places that we have been to, we can use two verbs: "estar" (to be) and "ir" (to go). He estado en Europa = He ido a Europa. It is actually very common to hear Spanish speakers say in English "I've never gone to Europe" when they mean "I've never been to Europe". Now, the use of different prepositions: When talking about places, we use "en" to refer to a place where an action happened without involving movement. We use "a" when the verb implies movement or direction. That is why we say "estar EN un lugar" but "ir A un lugar" (same as in English "be IN a place" but "go TO a place". If it is not clear, please, ask me!

Because in Spanish we use two different words, while English just one. These are like "Spanish collocations", so "estar - estado" is often used with "en" and "ir - ido" is used with "a".

Hello !!! In the first sentence preposition en mean in Europe. In the second sentence a mean to Europe. In the second sentence you write in the past and two verbs he ido what mean that you went to Europe before. In the first sentence you write that you never visited Europe. The situation it the next: In English you use to para in Spanish put "en" and "a". Ok- the different preposition and different mean. to more information you can see www.dele.es
