How To Backpack Europe
Here is my new, updated itinerary. I just wanted to put this on my blog to help potential travelers out.
This is basically an, “if I could do it all again, this is how I would do it” itinerary. I just omitted a few pointless stops that I had made and added a couple cities that I could’ve easily went to. But this is more or less what I did this past summer. And if you don’t know already, I did this trip in 80 days, and for less than $6000
For those who are new to my blog you can easily find everything I’ve written about my travels in Europe by using the drop-down menu that says “Wanderlust Tour: Europe”. I hope everything that I’ve posted can inspire you to travel and help you plan your next big trip! Feel free to ask any questions as well.
1. Istanbul (Turkish Airlines is a fantastic airline that consistently has the lowest fares to Europe. Plus, they give you a free, long-enough-to-leave-the-airport-and-explore-the-city, stopover in Istanbul. It’s like getting a free trip! I highly recommend flying Turkish Airlines when traveling to Europe!) 2. Rome 3. Naples 4. Positano 5. Florence 6. Tavarnelle Val Di Pesa/Barberino 7. Siena 8. Pisa 9. Venice 10. Milan 11. Tirano 12. Chur (Take the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur. The Bernina Express is an incredibly scenic, UNESCO World Heritage site that you don’t want to miss!) 13. Interlaken 14. Lauterbrunnen and surrounding area (I recommend Murren, Gimmelwald, Wengen, and Männlichen) 15. Bern 16. Lucerne 17. Basel 18. Colmar 19. Strasbourg 20. Zurich 21. Vienna 22. Bratislava 23. Budapest 24. Salzburg 25. Munich 26. Schwangau (Neuschwanstein Castle) 27. Rothenburg ob der Tauber 28. Frankfurt 29. Cologne 30. Prague 31. Oświęcim/Auschwitz 32. Krakow 33. Berlin 34. Copenhagen 35. Malmö 36. Oslo 37. Amsterdam 38. Brussels 39. Paris 40. London 41. Inverness 42. Edinburgh
(Q: Why isn’t Spain included? A: Spain is huge, and far from the rest of Europe. Madrid is 12 hours away from Paris! If I had had a bigger budget and more time, I would’ve gone. But to be honest, Spain is a huge trip in and of itself. If you’re tight on cash and time, just save it for another time!)
