How to Plan a Backpacking Trip Around EUROPE | My Itinerary & Ranking Each City!!

[00:00] hello guys welcome back to my Channel

[00:01] today we are going to be talking about

[00:03] the itinerary that I had when I was

[00:05] traveling around Europe for 2 and 1 half

[00:07] months I just recently got back my name

[00:09] is Christina if you guys don't know me

[00:11] welcome to my channel but I went around

[00:13] for 2 and 1 half months and I'm going to

[00:14] be going exactly my route what cities I

[00:17] went to and then I'm going to be ranking

[00:18] all the cities that I went to from my

[00:20] most favorite to my least favorite and

[00:23] again I'm sorry guys I love them all but

[00:26] I did just try and rank them based on my

[00:27] experiences everything like that so

[00:29] let's just get right into my itinerary

[00:31] and I'll talk about some possible other

[00:32] itineraries if you were curious about

[00:34] that so let's start off with my

[00:36] itinerary I did want to do Western

[00:38] Europe and Eastern Europe as separate

[00:40] trips because we were only going for 2

[00:42] and 1 half months I didn't want to cram

[00:44] like one day in each City I obviously

[00:46] wanted to spend a few more days in each

[00:48] City to actually get to know it so I did

[00:50] decide just to do Western Germany hit a

[00:52] bunch of the big spots and then one day

[00:54] I do want to go back for Eastern Europe

[00:56] so just so you guys know I did not go to

[00:58] Eastern Europe really at all so I did

[01:00] fly into and I do recommend if you're

[01:02] wondering how to plan your trip I used

[01:06] Hopper to buy the cheapest flight there

[01:08] which just happened to be $3 and

[01:09] something dollars like $350 and it went

[01:12] into Venice and then the cheapest flight

[01:14] out was out of Barcelona 2 and a half

[01:17] months later uh so that is my starting

[01:20] and ending point and I recommend that

[01:21] anyone that's trying to plan the route

[01:24] kind of does that as well like get your

[01:26] flight there and return flight and then

[01:28] plan it around where you have to be at

[01:30] the start and where you're going to be

[01:31] at the end and that way you have a kind

[01:34] of idea of which like Direction you have

[01:36] to go in so I flew into Venice Italy

[01:39] that was my first stop after that we did

[01:42] go to Lake KO based on someone's

[01:44] suggestion in Italy we asked them and

[01:47] that's where they suggested to go after

[01:49] Lake com we ended up going to

[01:50] Switzerland we went to burn Switzerland

[01:53] after burn Switzerland Interlock in

[01:55] Switzerland then we made our way to

[01:57] France we went to Leon France and of

[02:00] course Paris France cuz you have to see

[02:02] that right if you're going to be there

[02:03] then we went to Frankfurt Germany had to

[02:06] get to Germany my family's part geran so

[02:08] had to check it out then Berlin Germany

[02:11] and then after that we went to the

[02:12] Netherlands we went to Amsterdam and

[02:15] then of course right next to Amsterdam

[02:17] is Belgium so we did go to Brussels

[02:20] Belgium after that after Brussels we

[02:22] went to Copenhagen Denmark then back to

[02:25] Amsterdam because I loved it so much and

[02:27] it was just an easy way to get to where

[02:29] we were going now next then we went to

[02:31] London in the UK then Bordeaux France so

[02:34] we had to get to we wanted to get

[02:36] towards Portugal and Spain so we stopped

[02:38] in Bordeaux France as a little stopping

[02:40] point then we went to Madrid Spain then

[02:44] logos Portugal then to Sevilla Spain and

[02:48] then to Barcelona and that's where we

[02:49] left from so that is everywhere that we

[02:52] went those are all the cities that we

[02:54] went to countries everything like that

[02:55] we kind of went up down and around kind

[02:59] of um and that route worked perfectly

[03:02] for us it was two and a half months so

[03:04] we traveled an average of every three

[03:06] days but that doesn't mean that we were

[03:08] in each place for 3 days so in logos we

[03:10] were there for like 8 days or something

[03:11] like that which means that we were in

[03:13] maybe Bordeaux for a day or something so

[03:16] it doesn't always even out to 3 days a

[03:18] place but I really really really enjoyed

[03:21] my route if you guys are going on a trip

[03:23] that's similar I definitely recommend

[03:25] taking a similar route to we did because

[03:27] we wouldn't have changed a thing if I

[03:29] was planning

[03:30] out of Eastern Europe I would probably

[03:32] choose a flight that lands in Greece and

[03:34] leaves out of Bulgaria because they are

[03:36] right next to each other so you could

[03:37] just go all the way up and around and

[03:40] then all the way back down that way you

[03:41] do get to go in a nice Circle I'm going

[03:43] to be looking off my phone just to read

[03:45] you guys a possible route that I would

[03:47] do but I might go Greece Albania

[03:50] Macedonia Serbia Bosnia Croatia Slovenia

[03:55] Austria just cuz I really want to see

[03:57] Austria then maybe Slovakia IA Poland

[04:01] Lithuania lva then down to bellus

[04:05] Ukraine Romania and Bulgaria so that's

[04:08] probably what I would do is just go on

[04:10] that upward and down Route so that's

[04:13] kind of the route that I would choose of

[04:14] course that depends on how many days you

[04:16] have you can't do that route if you're

[04:17] going to be there for 3 weeks it would

[04:19] be impossible but if you are taking a

[04:21] longer route I would probably do that

[04:22] and if you have more time add in the

[04:23] rest of the countries of course cuz you

[04:25] don't want to miss out on anything I

[04:27] hope to one day go on a long enough one

[04:28] where I could hit all the countries but

[04:30] we will see okay so now I just wanted to

[04:32] rank all the countries that I went to

[04:35] cities and countries and everything like

[04:36] that in a list just in case you guys are

[04:38] curious of my favorite least favorite

[04:40] middle um like I said this is just my

[04:42] personal opinion I did love them all so

[04:44] please don't take this list personally

[04:46] this list is also based on the fact that

[04:48] maybe we spent four days in one place

[04:50] and then only a day and a half so it

[04:52] might be tainted by all the travel like

[04:54] I might have listed a place lower

[04:56] because we were only there for a day and

[04:58] then the following day we took a 12-hour

[05:00] bus so it just reminds me of that place

[05:02] you know so don't take this list

[05:04] personally they're all beautiful places

[05:06] and if I got to spend more time in the

[05:07] ones I break the lower I'm sure that

[05:09] they would be just as good as all the

[05:11] rest of them so don't take me personally

[05:13] okay okay so like I said in my last

[05:15] video Amsterdam was definitely

[05:17] definitely my favorites and I'll give a

[05:18] quick reason why beautiful amazing fun

[05:21] free amazing I would definitely live

[05:23] there I actually hope to live there one

[05:25] day next is ceva just because I love

[05:28] love ceva that's where my family from I

[05:30] have a special PL place in my heart for

[05:32] it my mom grew up and was raised there

[05:34] my grandma my cousins my uncle everyone

[05:36] lives there so enough said I love it

[05:38] there next is logos just because I loved

[05:41] Portugal I can't say enough most

[05:44] beautiful place ever absolutely obsessed

[05:46] amazing next was interlocking because we

[05:49] did get to see the Swiss Alps so I just

[05:52] can you imagine sking the Swiss Alps it

[05:53] was just insane next is Madrid cuz I

[05:56] just love Spanish culture I love the

[05:58] food there absolutely delicious just

[06:00] beautiful beautiful place then is like

[06:03] Como Italy this was actually a place

[06:05] that we got recommended when we were

[06:07] there we never intended on going there

[06:08] but it is just so stunning it's

[06:10] something that you think is like out of

[06:11] a movie or like a picture book like you

[06:13] just it blows your mind when you're

[06:15] there I loved the culture and the people

[06:17] were so inclusive I just really had a

[06:18] great time there next is burn

[06:21] Switzerland I think Switzerland is just

[06:22] a cool cool cool country I love the bite

[06:26] culture there and the people were so

[06:28] friendly probably one of the friendliest

[06:30] people just beautiful place really cool

[06:32] city with a lot to do I loved it next is

[06:35] Leon France because I did meet sumon the

[06:38] nicest people there and on top of that I

[06:40] had hands down the best breakfast of the

[06:42] entire trip there and all the other food

[06:44] was delicious too so I had to put it

[06:46] there because the food just like out of

[06:48] this world next is Barcelona on this

[06:50] trip we didn't actually get to spend too

[06:51] much time there but have been there

[06:53] quite a bit lot before and I just think

[06:55] it's an amazing City again I love

[06:57] Spanish culture so you know don't judge

[07:00] me then Copenhagen Denmark it's just one

[07:02] of the more unique places that we've

[07:04] been to it was absolutely freezing which

[07:06] is why it's not higher up on the list

[07:07] I'm not good with the cold okay but

[07:10] insanely beautiful place really really

[07:12] unique compared to the a lot of the

[07:14] other places that we went to so that's

[07:15] why I had to rank it so high then is

[07:18] Venice Italy and I know you're probably

[07:20] like why is this not higher on the list

[07:21] well it's only not higher because I had

[07:24] been there before and of course I do

[07:26] think it is very very beautiful but it

[07:28] is very very very very touristy so like

[07:31] tourists for days and I showed a Clips

[07:34] before in my Venice Vlog but like there

[07:36] are so many people you're walking like

[07:38] this so that's why I ranked it a little

[07:40] lower then we have Paris we're going

[07:42] with all the big cities here Paris

[07:44] friends and I enjoyed Paris so much but

[07:49] it's not ranked so high because the

[07:51] Eiffel Tower during the day it just

[07:52] didn't wow me at night I think it's

[07:54] incredible but during the day it was

[07:56] just a little bit like you know the Mona

[08:00] Lisa also wasn't like out of this world

[08:02] but the lube itself was just incredible

[08:05] so that was why it's kind of in the

[08:06] middle then is London I really really

[08:09] enjoy London I actually liked it so much

[08:11] but I couldn't put myself putting it

[08:14] above any of the other things on this

[08:15] list everything is just so good guys

[08:17] it's honestly so so hard it took me

[08:19] forever to make this list because I kept

[08:21] being like no this one no this one no

[08:22] this one and I was like but these three

[08:24] are tired so don't judge me okay but I

[08:26] really enjoyed London it was very cool

[08:28] it was not like what I was expecting ing

[08:29] at all it's very Americanized almost but

[08:33] there's so much to do which is why I

[08:34] liked it so much I'm a person that likes

[08:36] to do activities I like to mini golf I

[08:38] like to go to cool bars I like to go to

[08:40] cool clubs and if you're in London

[08:41] that's what you're doing then is

[08:43] Brussels Belgium again I love this it's

[08:45] so hard to put it so on low on the list

[08:47] because I actually did love it I wish I

[08:48] could put it a little higher up and just

[08:50] tie it with something but their Belgian

[08:52] waffles were amazing and also just the

[08:56] city was really really cool it was like

[08:57] tight little Alleyways with a a bunch of

[08:59] shops and restaurants the only thing is

[09:02] I didn't enjoy the food that wasn't

[09:05] dessert if that makes sense as much it

[09:07] just wasn't really my type of food I am

[09:09] a pick person so don't judge me okay

[09:12] then I put Berlin Germany again it was

[09:15] really cool but in Germany we didn't

[09:16] really get as much opportunity to

[09:18] explore or anything as much so that's

[09:21] why it is lower on the list just because

[09:23] we didn't get to explore as much as the

[09:25] other places then Frankfurt Germany

[09:28] again kind of for the same reason and we

[09:29] were only there one or two days so it

[09:31] just didn't wow me in a way but it was

[09:34] still beautiful and I really hope to go

[09:35] back and get to give Germany the Justice

[09:37] it deserves I just on this trip didn't

[09:40] have enough time I guess then is

[09:42] Bordeaux France and the only reason I

[09:44] put it here is because we stayed in a

[09:46] horrible Hotel it was like a 40-minute

[09:48] walk to the hotel it was an absolute

[09:50] disaster getting anywhere so that whole

[09:53] like thing of that is Tainted and then

[09:55] last is hurg Germany I'm sorry Germany

[09:58] because I just really did not enjoy the

[10:00] food there it just didn't live up to my

[10:02] expectations because you know hurg the

[10:04] creator of the hamburger okay but it

[10:06] just wasn't that great and we didn't get

[10:08] to do as many things as a lot of the

[10:10] other places so that is my list of

[10:13] ranking the countries cities in order

[10:15] from my favorite to least favorite if

[10:17] you guys have different opinions let me

[10:18] know Down Below in the comments let me
