1. Budget your trip
My first tip is to budget your trip. Before you book anything, work out how much you can afford to spend on your trip and use this as your budget for trip planning. Europe can be expensive so make sure you leave a bit of extra cash from your budget.

2. Plan as much as you can before you travel
Europe has fantastic travel options and hotels, but because of the prices and yearly events across the continent, it is best the you plan as much as you can before you travel. Create a spread sheet, plan which trains, buses or flights you are going to catch and book it before you travel.
3. Check the Europe Travel Visa requirements
If you are from the EU, you wonât need a visa to travel around the content. However, beginning in 2021, US citizens will need a ETIAS visa when entering the EU.
4. Book early
As we mentioned before, booking your travel and hotels ahead of time is the best way to go. The earlier you book, the cheaper the prices; especially when booking up airfare.
5. Check the holidays
Europe has different school holidays from the US, so check the school holidays before you travel. You donât want to visit a city that is crowded with tourists when it could have been avoided.
6. Get a Europe Rail Pass
The railway network around Europe is fantastic, so use this to get around. If you are a European citizen, you can get an interrail pass and if you are a non-European citizen, you can get a Eurail pass. Do your research on the rail network before you visit and use these routes to plan your trip.

7. Pack appropriately
Europe is a big place with a diverse range of weather. Always pack layers, bring a raincoat and of course, comfortable shoes. That being said, try to pack as light as possible, you donât want to be heaving around heavy luggage when catching trains around Europe.
8. You canât see it all
Europe offers some incredible places to visit and amazing experiences to try but you canât see it all. Choose your must see destinations and spend plenty of time in them – donât try to whiz from city to city or you will get burnt out and not enjoy the trip as much.
9. Use public transport
Whilst in each country, get your head around the transportation and use it. Taxi prices add up whilst most buses and trains around the major cities are easy to navigate and affordable.
10. Carry cash or debit card
In Europe, many stores will use chip and pin, meaning your US credit card may not work. Be sure to carry a debit card and/or cash as you travel the continent.
11. The Euro
Most countries in Europe use the Euro as their form of currency. However, not all EU countries do so check in advance. Currently, countries that do not use the euro are Croatia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the UK.
12. Use the safe
Europe is a fairly safe place to visit but there can be pick pocketing in the major cities. We recommend you keep cash in your hotel safe and only take out what you need for that day. We also encourage you to wear your cash; whether you get a money belt or fanny pack, or even a small shoulder bag.
13. Book attraction tickets in advance
Europe is an incredibly popular place to visit and is suffering from over tourism. Donât miss out on those must see attractions by booking tickets in advance and arriving early, especially when visiting places such as the Eiffel Tower, Vatican, Colosseum and London Eye.
