In general in Europe there is a 1-bag limit for carry-on, but you can often get away with 2. Depends entirely on the airline. For example, Ryanair are absolutely Nazi about it. If a woman has a bag and a purse, they make her put the purse into the bag at the gate. Even stuff you buy in the airport must fit into the one carry-on item. And they have a strictly enforced 10 kg limit for carry-on. The other big low-cost airline, Easyjet, is much more liberal. While they too have a 1-bag limit for carry-on, at least in principle, there is no weight limit (it just says "within reason") and I never have any trouble with my Domke 803 plus a Samsonite shoulder bag when I fly with them. So the best thing to do is to check with Continental and also with any airlines you are planning to use within Europe.
