The Savvy Backpacker's Guide to Europe on a Budget: Advice on Trip Planning, Packing, Hostels & Lodging, Transportation & More!

Bought for my Secret Santa as she said she wanted to travel, I thought this would be the next best thing and she loved it!

I’m in the process of planning a 10-week journey through Europe and the whole process has been a little overwhelming. That’s why I’m so happy I found this book. It has alleviated so much of my stress and it has made the whole planning process enjoyable.This book covers pretty much everything you need to know about planning a trip to Europe — hostels, using the trains/rail passes, budget airlines, solo travel, itinerary tips, packing lists, rental apartments, travel strategies, eating on the cheap, and a lot more.The book is written for people wanting to travel on a budget so there is a lot of advice about saving money. But the advice isn’t exclusively focused on doing everything as cheaply as possible; it also talks about getting the maximum value for the money you spend (your time is more valuable than money).This book is great for budget-minded travelers in their 20s/30s but the advice is good for travelers of all ages. If you’ve already traveled to Europe a few times then you might already be familiar with a lot of the information in the book, but for new travelers the tips in this book will save you a lot of time and money. I highly recommend it.One final note: This book doesn’t contain information about specific destinations (i.e. it won’t tell you what to see/do/eat in London). It focuses on travel skills and planning advice. For destination specific advice I recommend looking at guidebooks like Lonely Planet or Rick Steves.

Bought for my daughter heading to Europe for 2 weeks. She said it had a lot of great information to help her prep and plan her trip.

I love this book!! I decided that I was going to backpack Europe solo next summer and began reading up on it online. I found a website called [...] and this book was recommended there.I've read it once and plan to reread it so I can ensure I soak up as much of his tips and tricks as I can. He gives very well rounded advice about each subject he touches on. Whether it's where/when to buy plane tickets, advice on where you should stay (hostel/hotel/couch surfing/etc.), or even what type of clothing to invest in and pack. He has a lot of really amazing helpful information and he provides you plenty of websites and books so that you can refer to all of them and make the best decision for you and your trip. I loved it!!

I am so glad I got this book for my trip. I am not backpacking but it has so much great information for traveling to Europe.

Acertado.

As an avid traveler, I really enjoyed this book. A friend recommended it because he knew I enjoyed traveling. As an older traveler, I’m not really on a budget, but I like to save money. So many good tips on so many different aspects of travel, for young and old alike.

It was easier and faster to get some input from some very good. Not all I now some ones really reliableTravel YouTubers that's the best way to get ideas to travel like myself.The book is very boring and so how vague in the appreciations and not always clear how to save money which is the deal when you travel abroad unless you have a lot of money this book recommends you hotel is pretty expensive and things that you really don't need that's what I return it to Amazon
