How to get around

Transportation around most European cities by local tram, subway, or bus is typically under 2 EUR (2.30 USD) for a one-way ticket. I recommend to use budget airlines (Ryanair, EasyJet, Vueling) if you are flying in between countries.

It will save a ton of time and it is usually cheaper than train, you can find a roundtrip ticket for less than $20. Book in advance to scoop up great deals. Trains are also a great option to enjoy the landscape while traveling, although sometimes are not the most cost effective or efficient method. 

Money Saving Tips

-Don’t always eat in restaurants: In Europe you have a wide variety of parks where you can sit and eat your own food. You could also eat at local sandwich shops and outdoor street vendors. Avoiding restaurants and eating at a lot of the local “grab n’ go” places will give you a taste of the local cuisine at a much cheaper price. 

-Hostels or Camping: The difference in pricing between a hotel and a hostel is huge, and you can find plenty of cute and cozy hostels. There is also a new trendy camping service called Campspace, which allows you to pitch a tent in someone’s backyard for free or a nominal fee.

-Get a Rail Pass: If you are planning on staying in Europe for a long period and visit a lot of places, I recommend you get a Eurail Pass, it could save you hundreds of dollars.

-Plan in advance: Planning with time could save you hundreds or even thousand when it comes to flights, trains and accommodations. 

What to expect in Europe

LANGUAGE

Europe is a continent made out of 44 countries, almost all of them with a different language. Although the majority of the europeans (mostly younger people) speak english, it always help to learn basic words in the language of the country you are going to. 

ELECTRICITY

The electricity supply in Europe is 220v, which means that appliances using North American voltage (110v) will need a transformer and an adaptor.

CURRENCY

The currency in Europe is the Euro, with some exceptions (like Switzerland, England, Croatia..). You can exchange the currency on the exchange houses at the airports or directly withdrawing from the ATM (you should have contacted your bank before hand) 

SAFETY

I’ve found Europe to be quite safe, but just like anywhere else you need to be alert and use your common sense, mostly in the main cities and crowded places. Pickpocketing is a common problem, so keep your valuables close and always be aware of your surroundings.

CLIMATE

Europe is a seasonal continent, with negative temperatures on winter and high temperatures on summer depending on where you are going. Take this in consideration and make your bag according to it.

VISA POLICY

Remember that many countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months (some just three months) after your arrival date before they’ll grant entry to their country. Some of them also require a VISA to enter the country depending on your nationality. Plan in advance and make sure you have everything in order.
