Europe is perfect for backpacking trips. You can visit multiple countries and see amazing things in just a few days, accommodation is easy to find, and English is widely spoken. However, if you want to make it a truly great experience, there are some tips you should follow.

Choose Your Season Carefully

Summer is the best season to travel through Europe. The weather is sunny and dry, allowing you to pack lighter clothes. Traveling during fall or winter comes with fewer crowds, but you are risking getting caught in the rain or having to walk around in cold weather.  

Turn to Hostels or Couchsurfing for Accommodation

If you want your budget to last while in Europe, turn to hostels or Couchsurfing for accommodation. Hostels are widespread all across Europe and offer a place to rest with basic amenities at affordable prices. In case you want to save some extra money, browse through the hospitality exchange platform Couchsurfing, which has a lot of fellow travelers willing to offer you a place to stay for free.

Travel by Train

The fastest, most convenient, and affordable way to travel through Europe is using the train. All major cities in Europe are well-connected by railways, so you won’t have to worry about how to get from point A to point B.

Eat Where Locals Eat

Finally, a backpacking trip through Europe is an amazing way to sample some amazing dishes. Just make sure not to go to restaurants. Instead, ask around and see where locals eat. This will help you get much better food for a lot cheaper.
