With more than thirty countries nestled in a space smaller than the size of the United States, Europe offers a wondrous opportunity to sample a multitude of cultures, to experience a range of architecture and to learn about some of the world’s oldest historical locations. Backpacking is all about doing it as cheap as possible, while having as much fun as possible; here’s some tips to make it happen.

Planning the Ultimate Journey

The amount of planning and research that goes into a European trip will ultimately dictate the ease and enjoyment of travel. Timing a trip is crucial. Summer is the busiest and most expensive time to visit Europe. Most sights will be choked with tourists and most hostels increase their prices. The months around summer – March, April, May, October and November are quieter and yet the weather is still seasonable. Researching locations can help save money as well; the aim is to avoid busy local festivals, school holidays etc.

Visit Eastern Europe

Spending more time in cheaper countries is a great idea: Eastern Europe is easier to travel around than ever before and these countries are very welcoming to tourists. Countries like Hungary, the Czech Repubilc, Slovenia, Croatia and Poland are becoming increasingly popular with backpackers as they offer much cheaper accommodation, food and drink while still delivering amazing history, culture and scenery. Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic and Bled in Slovenia are two beautiful, historic backpacker favourites.
