Be Savvy About Accommodation

Even in Europe’s pricier destination, the hostel system means there is always an affordable place to stay, and some hostels are truly fantastic. During the summer, university accommodations are also a cheap option in some countries. If you’re traveling during the peak summer months, it’s important to book in advance.

Take the Train

Getting around by train is the best option when traveling through Europe, and you will get to appreciate the diversity of the continent at ground level. Plus, you can make longer journeys overnight and sleep on the train, which will save costs for accommodation.

Eat Like a Local

A backpacking budget shouldn’t stop you from savoring the many great cuisines of Europe. If you skip the tourist traps and stick to locals’ recommendations, you’ll find plenty of affordable and worthwhile foodie experiences.

Get Outdoors

When traveling through Europe, it can be tempting to go on a capital cities tour—but you’ll be missing out on a lot. Europe has much to offer in terms of the great outdoors – from Bulgaria’s Rila Mountains to Portugal’s beautiful Alentejo coast (and everything in between).

The rain, the hot sun, confusion, or just a tendency to forget things, can cost us a lot of money and loss of equipment we need for the rest of the trip.

To avoid frustration, and to keep your belongings safe, here’s what you need to do.

When going on a backpacking trip, it is important not to take more than you need. If you have a particularly beloved book, you may want to leave it at home, as there is a danger that it will be damaged on the trip.

Try making a list of your equipment, and each time you pack, check that you have indeed taken with you everything on the list.

Do not hesitate to take precautions to prevent equipment theft, especially when staying in hostels or dormitories. A lock on the bag and a money belt can prevent great heartache.

Keep your passport close to you at all times. The danger of losing a passport at such times, when not all embassies are open, can be great.

So whether you are heading for a long hike and looking for the perfect mountain shoes or you’re just tired of coming back home with painful blisters every time, you should invest in a good pair of shoes.

Trail Hiking shoes will suit you if you are planning short hikes in nature or in the city, without carrying weight. These are flexible and soft shoes that will give you a good grip on the ground and shock absorption while maintaining comfort and feeling closest to that of a sneaker.

Backpack shoes will suit you better for long and strenuous tracking for several days and for carrying heavyweights. Although it will take you time to get used to walking with them, there is no substitute for durability and grip on your feet that you will have with them.
