Backpacking in Europe

Europe is a diverse continent, with each country having its own unique identity and most having their own language too.  Backpacking in Europe is a rewarding experience, and although some Western European countries can be expensive, if you are backpacking on a budget then there are plenty of bargains to be had here too. 

I am slowly working my way through Europe and when I’m based in the UK I often take short trips to the continent.  As I continue to explore you will find more countries added here so if the country you want to visit isn’t listed, please come back and check again soon!  

If you are not sure which country in Europe you want to visit, these posts may inspire you to choose, or you can browse all of my European blog posts here.

Click on your chosen country to find all of the articles for that destination, or feel free to explore each one so you can create your own European travel itinerary.

Considering Travel Insurance For Your Trip?
  • Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong when you travel.  I always buy travel insurance for my trips and was very glad I had insurance when I had my laptop and passport stolen in Ecuador! 
  • I chose World Nomads Travel Insurance for my current backpacking trip to Australia and New Zealand.  World Nomads offers travel insurance for independent travellers and intrepid families, and offers cover for more than 150 adventure sports and activities as well as emergency medical, lost luggage, trip cancellation and more.  Get a quote, make a claim, or buy or extend your policy while on the road.

  • I have also used SafetyWing which is available for purchase online in 180 countries and you can also buy it while you are already travelling. SafetyWing travel medical insurance is charged on a month-by-month basis so a great flexible choice for digital nomads or if you're not sure of your future plans.
