Backpacking through europe: need advice and tips!

[DavidChase]

Hi everyone! Planning my first backpacking trip across Europe and looking for some insights. Where should I absolutely go, and what should I know?

Hey! Europe is full of diverse cultures and landscapes. Don’t miss the classics like Paris, Rome, and Barcelona. If you're into nature, the Swiss Alps and the Norwegian fjords are breathtaking.

I’d recommend also exploring some off-the-beaten-path destinations like the Balkans – countries like Croatia and Montenegro are beautiful and less crowded. Also, consider staying in hostels to meet fellow travelers!

Sounds fantastic! What about getting around? Is rail the best option?

[Amedeo]

Trains are a great way to travel in Europe, especially with a rail pass. But don't overlook cheap regional flights for longer distances. And buses can be a budget-friendly option too.
