Europe (France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by area yet one of its most diverse, spanning everything from the sun-drenched Mediterranean coastlines of France and Italy to the alpine peaks of Switzerland and Austria, and the historic plains of Central and Eastern Europe. It is home to some of the planet's most iconic cities — Paris, Rome, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, and Berlin — each layered with centuries of art, architecture, and culture. Travellers come for the Alps and Slovenian Triglav National Park, the vineyards of Burgundy and Tuscany, the thermal baths of Hungary, and the medieval old towns of Poland and the Czech Republic. The continent's well-connected rail network makes it a favourite for multi-country overland journeys.

Paris to Berlin: Art & the Alps — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 21-day 18-to-Thirtysomethings rail trip across nine European countries. You book the same hostel dorms and beds, ride the same trains and buses, and hit the same cities — Paris, Interlaken, Rome, Florence, Venice, Ljubljana (with a Bled day trip), Vienna, Budapest, Kraków, Prague and Berlin — but at your own pace, on your own bookings, with a fraction of the price. Every guided element has a self-bookable equivalent: Migrantour Rome books directly online, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Wieliczka have official ticket sites, Prague's beer halls and a Budapest ruin bar crawl replace the group "moments." Costs below are realistic 2026 backpacker estimates in GBP and assume hostel dorms, supermarket breakfasts plus cheap local lunches, and trains booked in advance (an Interrail Global Pass or point-to-point advance fares).

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Europe (France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
