The Nile is not the longest river in Europe, as it isn't in Europe - it's in Africa.
The longest river in Europe is the Volga at 2,300 miles (3,700 kms) long. The second longest is the Danube at 1,771 miles (2,850 kms) long. The Thames, by comparison, is only 210 miles (338 kms) long.
A list of major European rivers, with their lengths and locations, can be found at the website below.

According to the Collins Mini-atlas of the World it's the Volga at 2291 miles long. The Volga also has the largest drainage basin at 533000 sq. miles! The danube comes in second place at 1770 miles and the Ebro is not in the top 6 longest rivers!

The Volga River, the largest river system and one of the most important rivers of Europe rises northwest of Moscow in the Valday Hills and flows 3,700 km (2,300 mi) to the southeast before emptying into the Caspian Sea near the city of Astrakhan’. It is navigable for about 3200 km (about 2000 mi), and large numbers of ships ply its waters with freight and passengers. The Volga is fed by more than 200 tributaries (about 70 of which are navigable), including the Kama, Samara, Oka, and Vetluga. Together, the Volga and its tributaries occupy a watershed covering about 1,450,000 sq. km (about 560,000 sq. mi), or about 40 percent of European Russia.
