Anyone who tells you that there is one “best way” to see Europe should be politely ignored. This travel guide is designed to facilitate all varieties of travel, from a few days in Paris to a breathless, continent-wide summer sprint to a leisurely year (or two) abroad. This section is made up of tools to help you create your own itinerary: themed categories let you know where to find your museums, mountains, and madhouses, while suggested itineraries outline various paths across Europe.
For 50 years, we have published the world’s favorite budget travel guides, written entirely by students and updated every year. With pen and notebook in hand and a few changes of underwear stuffed in our backpacks, we spend months roaming the globe in search of travel bargains.
