Euro Backpacking Tip?

Forgot to mention I haven't left Australia other than a family holiday to Thailand a couple years ago. However I am heading to NZ/Samoa in 3 weeks

Do you have at least a vague idea of the countries you want to visit?

Well i'd be landing in London and from there at this stage I had in mind: Netherlands,Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Czech, Spain, France. But I know there is so much more. That's why I've come here, I do have a vague idea but i'm open to going anywhere.

Thanks for your help, i'll research into those

in netherlands amsterdam is nice, many people i know said they liked utrecht much more, i havent seen utrecht

if you really want to see belgium then go to brügge
but it is really tourity and expensive, maybe stay the day there and then go at evening to ostende (30min). its a nice town by the sea

nice places in germany: berlin, hamburg, dresten, bamberg, heidelberg, nürnberg. Munich is overrated

cant say much about switzerland but its really expensive

czech: prague is pretty cool. nice oldtown, huge party scene and drugs are basicly legal, was to young to experience this

spain: brcelona is nice but really touristy

in france bretagne and strasbourg a nice

would also recomend portugal

>drugs are basicly legal,
Tell me more

Thanks so much mate that is awesome! Given me a lot to think about, i'll definitely be checking out a few of them! Where do you recommend going in Portugal?

>>1130094
Also are there any areas I should avoid for safety?

Amerifat here,
Just wrapped up a 3 month trip. Started in germany, then italy france spain. As far as nature the alps looked awesome from the bus. The German countryside in the spring was dope. Can't beat the hills of tuscany. But really the best was spain. Particularly the city of granada. Gorgeous old Arabic city with hotsprings and mountains 1.50 euros and 30 minutes away by bus. I'm a sucker for hot and dry rocky landscapes though.

hopping from capital to capital is nice, but you will not see much nature

If you travel from Berlin to Prague you could stop over in Dresden. There is a popular hiking region nearby called Saxon Switzerland.

Wow that looks incredible, things like this is really what I am hoping to find, thank you this is perfect. I can promise you I will be making the effort to head out there. Any other places you recommend?

pretty much every drug is legal in small amouts to carry around. Technically its not legal but in small amounts the law isnt enforced by the police, even most hard drugs like meth. Pills and weed are easy to get.

i wasnt there, heard a lot nice things about it. I will go probably go september to Porto, Lisboa and faro


>>1130111
The only places i know you should avoid are some suburbs of paris, stockholm, brussel and london.
but there shouldnt be something interesting to see

other than that i dont know any dangerous places. And during the day i wouldnt be afraid of going there too if i had a reason to go.

look out for pickpocketing. Especially in italy, spain and balkans. look out for gypsies. dont put your wallet/phone in your backpocket.

europe is really safe compared to the rest of the world. Even with the refugee crisis.

If you go to London don't venture out of the royal Borough
