Tips for Planning a Perfect Eurotrip

When you want to plan a European vacation, you want to be sure that you are doing it right. While in the past planning was more of a leisure activity, with budgeting and booking a hotel, nowadays it’s more of an investment.

The aim is to make sure that you are planning the right trip and not spending too much money on unnecessary things like accommodation or flights. You should leave enough room for your expenses and save money for things like souvenirs or local food. You need to write optimized travel guides or itineraries that allow you to make the most out of your trip.

1. Know where you are going to go and how long your trip will be.
2. Make sure that you know the cities where suitable accommodation and restaurants will be available to you.
3. Don’t mix up the different kinds of holidays in Europe like partying, sightseeing, shopping or just spending time by yourself.
4. If you are planning a holiday in one country for example Paris, go for one day at a time and choose hotels based on that date – don’t go all the way there!

What do you need to pack for the Eurotrip?

When we are traveling to another country, we do not always have enough time to think about what to pack. When we travel on a long vacation, we might not have any physical items with us and sometimes the list of things that can be useful during the trip is fairly limited.

We should not only pack for the city where we are going to, but also for all locations we will visit. It is easy to forget about important essentials when we are on a long road-trip. We should remember that even though a laptop is not needed, there might be emergency situations which might require so it.

Conducting a self-guided trip to Europe is one of the most enjoyable things that we can do. So it’s a good idea to prepare for it before your departure.

What you need:

1. Travel Bag. Remember that you need to pack a bag for each member of the group so you can travel without having to worry about what else you need to bring along. Because, after all, your trip will be punctuated by eating in some really great restaurants and relaxing in some very nice hotels where you might even get lucky and find the perfect catsuit for yourself…
2. Make sure that you have enough memory card space and batteries to be able to capture all the great moments from your trip.
3. Passport and other documents. If you are the national of a country that has a visa-free regime with the EU, you will need to apply for the ETIAS Visa waiver from 2023. This visa waiver enables you to enter and travel inside the EU, so this is something to consider while planning your trip.
4. Travel Insurance. Traveling is fun, but it can be risky too. You might find yourself in an emergency situation, which is never a pleasant experience. To reduce the impact of this emergency, you will need to have a travel insurance, so if anything goes wrong, you can rely on someone. Besides, all the EU countries require to have a valid travel insurance alongside your passport and other documents.

What is the Average Cost of a Eurotrip?

In the recent years, budget travel has started to become more and more popular. In fact, even large multinationals have started to compete by offering better deals and last-minute discounts for their clients. However, planning the trip to Europe in this regard can be a bit tricky.

No matter whether on budget or not, traveling is still quite costly. You should expect to spend about 20-30% more per day on a trip vs. what you could do at home. A typical European trip might cost you $1500 to $2000, depending on your travel dates. It also depends how long are you going to stay in Europe, how many countries are you going to visit and what are these countries. This is why it is important to have detailed financial plan of your trip, so you know how to control your spending.
