Two ways to travel around Europe

There are a few ways to tackle European travel. The most popular for a student on a gap year is to go inter-railing and stay in a whole load of cheap hostels. This involves getting one ticket for an area of Europe – for example Spain, Italy and France – for a certain period of time, from a week to six months. This ticket then allows you to catch any train in any of these countries during this time. This is a style of travel which might not suit the older generation, as the main advantage of it is its flexibility: you can change your plans whenever you like, and end up in a small town in a different country on a whim, just because you met someone in a cafe who said it was worthwhile! The disadvantage of this style of travelling is that you can’t get everywhere by train. Europe has so many areas of stunning natural beauty – a nice, coastal campsite, or an obscure Alpine valley – many of which are only accessible by a fairly lengthy drive from the nearest town, or are perhaps serviced by one bus per day. So another favoured method of travel through Europe is by car or campervan, the classic road trip. This tends to suit travellers of all ages, and is more popular amongst those who enjoy the sights of rural Europe than those heading to the major cities. It’s the perfect method for campers, as the car or van provides an extra living space which can be very much appreciated when you’re striking your tent and packing away your possessions on a regular basis. It allows for more belongings on a long trip than you would be able to transport in a rucksack. The most important thing to remember when choosing your car is not to make it too attractive to thieves.
