Five Unmissable Backpacking Destinations in Europe
If you live in the UK and you've found yourself with a bad case of itchy feet, why not explore some of the stunning destinations right on your doorstep? Europe is a treasure trove of beauty spots; and with such easy access from the UK, it's a real backpacking favourite! Below you'll find five fantastic places to turn your travel adventure into an amazing life-long memory!
Annecy, France
This quaint little town nestled in the French Alpes is one of the most breathtaking towns in the world. It sits just on the edge of Lake Annecy, providing spectacular views of the snow-tipped mountains reflected in the water. There's a lot of accommodation options if you're backpacking, including a stylish hostel (or auberge de jeunesse) on a hill or one of the many campsites.
Rome, Italy
Ok, so it's not exactly the world's best-kep secret, but Rome can be the perfect backpacking destination. It is dripping with history and has more photo ops than many other European cities. From the Trevi Fountain to the Vatican, you're sure to find something to make you say wow'!
Budapest, Hungary
Eastern Europe has some fantastic backpacking destinations, but Budapest is a firm favourite. Whether you're taking in the views of the Danube from Castle Hill or making the most of the vibrant nightlife in the city, stopping off at Budapest will be a memorable and (more importantly) fun experience!
Paris, France
Another predictable choice here; however a lot of people don't realise how great the City of Lights can be for a backpacking adventure. You can take a stroll down the Champs D'Elysees before taking in the sight of the world-famous Eiffel Tower. And don't miss the Louvre - it's one of the best museums in the world. Who knows, you might discover the Holy Grail!
Amsterdam, Holland
You probably already know what this city is famous for - but it's not all red lights. The city has a rich history and includes such spots as Anne Frank's house and the Van Gogh Museum, so it's perfect for backpacking. You can also hire a bicycle and join the locals on their favourite mode of transport!
