European Countries For Traveling
European Countries For Traveling
If you're going to Europe, and planning on traveling, rather than staying in the 1 location for the duration of your holiday, and you don't need to invest a great deal of money, there's two or three alternative methods that you can to travel all through the continent.
The first option might be to take what you may call the " traditional conventional" budget alternative, which would generally be backpacking and traveling by train. Nothing wrong with that at all, and by making use of a pass on the trains (known as a Eurailpass, and readily obtainable in the USA from http://www.raileurope.com/eurorail/index.htm) you'll be able to certainly reduce your spending, whilst journeying widely throughout many countries.
There are, although, a number of down sides to this conventional "budget" planning.
First, whilst it can often be exhilarating and exciting to meet and travel with strangers on a train, equally, often times, it's nice to have your own space to enjoy the journey, on your own.
Secondly, by definition, trains can simply take you as far as the railway station, and railway stations aren't often placed where you want them to be placed. In other words, if you have definite "target" places that you wish to see, then you may well finally end up having to take a train, then a bus or taxi (for who knows what distances) prior to arriving at your destination. This should not be a difficulty if the location you so desperately need to go to is within the city, but what if it not?
And, naturally, trains run to their timetable, not yours!
An alterative to trains are planes. Flying within Europe is now incredibly low priced, and might be reasonably handy, particularly if your visiting a land that it widely set for tourism.
For instance, correct now, it's achievable to fly from the UK to stunning Salzburg in Austria for GBP19 1 way (approximately $35) or to Istanbul in Turkey for GBP31. See http://www.easyjet.com or http://www.ryanair.com for a lot more data on availability of flights and fares.
Spending budget flying, even so, accommodates many of the disadvantages of the trains - crammed into modest seats next to an individual you've got never met before, the necessary delays and so forth.
So, here's my suggestion. If your lucky sufficient to be planning an extended European adventure, (at least 1 month) then make it a genuine adventure of which you are in total control.
Travel by car. Then, you'll be able to go exactly where you want, when you want, you can to choose your own organization, and, basically, you're the boss. Perhaps you're now thinking, nothing so revolutionary in that, automobile hire isn't precisely a new thought, is it?
No,. it isn't, but I'm not suggesting that you use Hertz, Avis or any of the other global vehicle rental businesses.
I'm suggesting that you do what I did some years ago for a three month tour of Europe.
Acquire a car - a used model, some thing relatively affordable that you can then resell at a later date, prior to you fly home. Be sure that it's a fairly fundamental model, something that is widely accessible throughout Europe (to make sure that any required spare parts will in all probability be low-cost and plentiful) and that it's mechanically straightforward - no turbochargers or superchargers - so that if anything does go wrong with it on your travels, repairs is likely to be simple (i.e. inexpensive) as well.
In my case, I traveled to Europe, purchased an estate car (a station wagon) in France for $750, drove some 10,000kms throughout France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and so on, and sold it for $650 three months later. Other than a couple of minor repairs (a new battery) in addition to the cost of the gasoline, I lost precisely $100 on the deal.
Within the meantime, I had gone exactly where I wanted, when I wanted and done precisely what I wanted to when I got there! Genuinely, the freedom of outside road!
