Ok so me and my friend are traveling round europe in about 4 weeks
what pervisions am i going to need apart from money and a passport?
what countries should we avoid?
how much money do think two ppl could do it on?
we're both 17 is there any special laws we should be aware of?
(we only want to use about a hotel about every week, booked along our route, apart from that, living out of the car, is this even practical)
Reply to this I would get a student Euro-Rail pass and stay in hostels...Check out Rick Steves best of Europe book for info on sights and costs. As a young person you qualify for student discounts. ricksteves.com also has a TON of info on how to travel on your own...check out the graffiti wall there. I would not attempt to drive in Europe...too expensive.
Reply to this I agree - don't rent a car. the rental and gas will break you (I don't know where you are from but gas in Europe is upwards of $8 per gallon). Trains will get you anywhere you want and you will be able to get student discounts. If you are adventurous, rent a scooter- just beware that driving a scooter in Europe comes with its own set of "un-written" rules of the road...
Since you only have 4 weeks (trust me, it sounds long, but its not) - stick to countries close together (Spain, France, Italy) vs. trying to go in a lot of crazy directions - you will just waste a ton of time in transit. I know there is that itch to "see it all", but really its quality over quantity. You def don' want to rob yourselves of the cultural experience that comes from really seeing a place. Have a great time!
Reply to this Hello Stebblecon 😊
What you could do firstly is buy a copy of the Lonely Planet guide to Europe. It is pretty much the backpackers bible. It gives information about accomodation, transport, money, safety...... It is available in most bookshops around the world for around 30 Euros. If that seems expensive you may be able to pick up a second hand copy in an Oxfam or other seconhand book shop.
About provisions, bring as little as possible. Carrying around a heavy backpack can become a real pain. I rarely travel with more than 10 KGs.
There are no countries in Europe that need to be avoided. No wars or great dangers anywhere. You may want to spend less time in the expensive ones. Switzerland and the Scandanavian countries.
30 to 60 Euros per day(not including intercity transport) could be enough depending on which countries you are in and what you want to do.
One thing to consider is that at 17 years old you are minors and may need the permission of your parents to leave your country. Will they give this permission, or will you be 18 soon?

Reply to this You can enter the Netherlands without a visa if you have a British passport because both the UK and the Netherlands are EU members.
