'''European route E30''' is an A-Class West-East European route, extending from the southern [[Ireland|Irish]] port of [[Cork]] in the west to the [[Russia]]n city of [[Omsk]] in the east.

The E30 is one of the longest European routes with a total length of about 5800 km (3625 mi) (3300 km (2062 mi) from Cork to [[Moscow]], 2500 km (1560 mi) from Moscow to Omsk. The naming is by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.

Formerly, before 1985, this was the E8 (London-Berlin-Brest).

The E30 routes over seven European countries, and includes two sea-crossings, one from [[Rosslare]] in [[Ireland]] to [[Fishguard]] in [[Wales]], and one from [[Felixstowe]] in [[England]] to [[Hoek van Holland]] in the [[Netherlands]].

* [[A2 (Germany)|A2]]: Bad Oeynhausen - [[Hannover]] - [[Braunschweig]] - [[Magdeburg]] - [[Potsdam]]

* [[A10 (Germany)|A10]]: Potsdam - [[Berlin]]

Within Poland E30 follows National Road 2 (DK2) and the [[A2 (Poland)|A2 motorway]].

The Russian stretch of this road coincides partly with the [[Asian Highway Network]]'s [[AH6]] (though this latter highway passes through [[Petropavl]], [[Kazakhstan]] in its stretch between Chelyabinsk and Omsk, unlike the E30). The E30 follows the Russian main road [[M1 (Russia)|M1 Belarus-Moscow]], [[M5 (Russia)|M5 Moscow-Chelyabinsk]] and [[M51 (Russia)||M51 Chelyabinsk-Kurgan]]. It goes along minor roads past [[Ishim]] in order to avoid the Kazak border towards [[Omsk]].
