Backpacking Europe? Get a guide book!
This is really important. Before you set off backpacking Europe, get a guide book! A good guide book can help you decide where you go, what you see and where you eat and sleep.
Different types of guide books have different ideas and philosophies so make sure could take a bit of time to look through them before you buy and get an idea which will be best for you. If you are buying off Amazon, take a look at other buyers reviews.
A good book that constantly comes up on best European guide book searches is Lonely Planet Western Europe. This guide book has excellent maps, a comprehensive language guide and hand-picked places to stay and eat for all budgets. I found this book useful, especially when my budget was running low and had to find some cheap places to stay of a couple of nights! Trust me, no matter how much money you take, you’ll run low on cash at some point during your trip. Lonely Planet Western Europe
