Planning

Let us begin with information that will probably surprise you and that is in Europe most people do not have a plan when backpacking. In fact, that is the joy of backpacking through Europe.

Many backpackers travel by train, which is one of the best options to travel by because A, the cost of a train pass is cheap and B, you can get an idea of where you want to travel and see the many beautiful areas that Europe has to offer. But with this freelance style of travel, you will need to know exactly how long you will be in traveling, and also when you want to start your backpacking adventure.

When To Backpack Europe

Many travelers plan their backpacking adventures during the summer months. This offers primetime backpacking throughout
Europe because the weather is nice during this period. However, if you plan your trip during this time, keep in mind that many tourists will be traveling as well and prices for hostels and hotels will be increased during this time. Additionally, many of attractions and site’s you plan to visit will be flooded with tourist. On the contrary, if you choose the winter season you will experience low prices and ease of travel but you run the risk of running into bad weather and delays in your travels are to be expected. Case in point, choose the time you want to travel wisely, and make sure you are prepared for any bumps in the road you may encounter.

How Long???

The best part about backpacking in Europe is you do not need a specific plan of where you want to go but you do need a length of how long you will be backpacking. Many travelers go for a week, two weeks, or even longer. For a first time backpacker in Europe, it is recommended that you plan for at least three weeks. This is because with all the historical sites in Europe, they are spaced apart and you will have enough time to reach a majority of them. Of course, when you pack for your trip make sure you pack for more than the length of your travel. This is security for you just in case you need extra items.

Cost

This is a tricky subject because of the cost of your European trip all depends of the length of stay and the time of year that you travel on. It would be a good idea to research the prices of your hostel or lodging establishment beforehand and give yourself idea on how much you will be spending because lodging will be the majority of your expenses. Also give yourself a comfortable spending amount for each day of your trip and always have emergency money, a credit card would work just fine. Try not to carry a lot of money on you and if you do store in a safe accessible spot. Try not to use your credit card at many places in order to prevent you from getting outrageous user fees. In the end if you plan a trip early and well planned, a European backpacking trip total should cost less than $2500. Overall, backpacking through Europe will be one of the best experiences you will encounter in your travels.
