Things to know before travelling to Europe
This Faq section contains everything you should know before travelling to Europe. If is your first time in the continent, or you are coming from a nearby country is always informative to know facts and things.
Getting around Europe is a breeze and you have plenty of options. For overland travel, intercity bus lines like FlixBus are the cheapest way to get from one place to another. If you’re planning to go to several different locations over the course of a week or two and prefer to take the scenic route, book a Eurail pass, which lets you take the train as many times as you like over a set period of time.
It’s not necessarily the cheapest option, but it’s definitely the most enjoyable. For longer distances, you can take budget airlines like RyanAir – sometimes the prices on these airlines are as low as just a few Euros! We’ve included some tips to help you get from place to place in our 2-week Europe itineraries.
When you’re moving around from city to city in Europe, you won’t want to lug around a bunch of heavy bags with you. Avoid surprise baggage fees and spare yourself the misery of lugging your heavy bag up 5 floors of rickety staircases (because everywhere we’ve ever stayed in Europe is somehow always on the 5th floor and there is never an elevator).
If you’re the rolling bag type, Away Suitcases are as beautiful as they are functional. If you prefer to carry your belongings on your back, we swear by this roomy carry-on backpack!
…and last but not least, don’t forget to pack an outlet converter! We recommend getting a type C converter as this works in most European countries.
English is widely spoken in Europe but each country has their own language. Learn a few words before your trip and surprise locals by saying at least Hello, Good Morning and Thank you!
The best time to travel to Europe is in spring or autumn. The temperature are mild with sunny days. Many destinations are affordable during spring and autumn months. Avoid summer because it gets very busy and extremely hot in any European destinations.
