Backpacking trip through Europe, I need your help

in #travel8 years ago

My friends and I want to do a summer backpacking trip through Europe for two months.

Were from Austria and most of the time we will travel by train . We haven't totally planned the route yet but the countries will be
Hungary-Italy-France-Spain-Belhium-Germany-Netherlands-Danmark-Sweden.

It would be awesome if you could tell us something about your country or your city/village what doesn't stand in the tourist guide and please recommend any must see cities or places you have visited.

Thanks a lot in advance! :D

(and sorry for my grammar mistakes)

Sounds like a sweet trip in the making, besides sites like trip adviser, I try to see if the town has an events calendar, Frankfurt has some amazing opera events in the month of June-Aug and fantastic festivals. Finland has a massive metal festival. I am also not a big fan of the touristy stuff so I usually look a town over and see what they have to Offer. Have you thought of Iceland? Or Greece instead of France/Italy?

Thanks a lot for your comment, we didn't knew until now about the massive metal festival in Finland, we are really considering going there now.
To be honest not really, nobody of us were in Iceland before so it would be also a nice country for our trip.
Last year we were in Greece and it was really beautiful, hopefully will be Italy as good as Greece.

Yeah I found out about it a week after i booked my return flight from teh EU, missing it by just days :/, I know Italy is really pushing for people to kind of hit the smaller towns cause of its influx of tourists to Rome and other big cities is causing issues. I followed so I could read up on your adventures.

ah iam sorry for you :(, yeah because everyone wants to go to Rome if the go to Italy and ignore the rest of the country.

Thanks a lot :D
