Hi there,

My friends and I are going to spend a couple of months in Europe. We'd like to visit Spain, UK, France, Italy and Prague, Amsterdam and Brussels.

We've never been in Europe before so we'd like to get some advice on things to see, to do... We're travelling on a budget so we're also looking for some info about hostels or cheap hotels.

Finally, we also are after some information about the best and cheapest ways to travelling around europe.

Thank you very much in advance and every little help is welcome.

Hi rivo11, and welcome to the Travel Forums. Your trip sounds like it is going to be fantastic.

As far as getting cheap plane tickets goes, you might want to try some of these sites: mobissimo.com , cheapseats.com , cheaptickets.com and priceline.com

Before you go to Europe, look into getting Eurail Passes to cover your rail transportation around Europe. Or, if you want to try flying everywhere, use the web to check out fares and schedules for some of the famous European cut-rate airlines like EasyJet.com and RyanAir.com

I'm sorry that I'm not any help on hostels, but there are some web sites out there that will help you find B&B's in Europe. There was one site that I really liked, but unfortunately I can't recall the name of it.

Hi Laura,

Thank you very much for your prompt answer.

I guess that getting the eurail will be very handy because i think it's much cheaper than getting plane tickets.

Thank you very much once again for all the information you've given me it will be quite useful.

Hi rivo11,

I would recommend you to visit HostelBookers. As you are travelling to a different destinations in Europe you will find many hostels in Europe where you can stay. They are rated by people who have stayed there so I guess this will help you to take a decision.

In our web site we also have sections with information about travel news, events and activities worlwide that you might find helpful while planning your trip.

I hope this helps,
