I made this part of the travel section, but i think it more deserves a "society" tag.
At least in Western Europe, the last 2-3 decades (or even more) have seen massive advances in transport infrastructure – the ICE in Germany, TGV in France, Eurostar… on top of that, you have a very dense motorway system. Also, the EU is more integrated than before the 1990s with Schengen, more people speak English…
Nonetheless, if you closely look at it, the common travel routes for people have barely changed. They will go maybe 40-50 kilometers max. somewhere to an event, and that's it. Going from where i live (in Western Germany) it's still seen as a "really big trip" to go to Berlin, although it's 3 hours 40 minutes by train. Even Frankfurt a. M. would suffice for that sentiment partially, which is two hours.
Not to mention any transnational integration, any cities apart from border towns might be well on the moon, although Dutch, Belgian cities like Brussels and Amsterdam are much nearer than any of the other big known German cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Munich…
EDIT: I'm focusing on everyday life as well mostly. Of course, travelling far around the globe is much more common, but travelling to a holiday resort in South America isn't the same as for example going to a cultural event 100-120 kilometers casually.
