Hello all! I just got back from London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin and just wanted to share the AWESOME time I had with everyone. I was worried at first as I was travellng alone but it was so easy to meet people! Just a few things I would do differently.
Set my train times for after 8:30am. Hard for a 25 year old to make that train, I had to pay 50 pounds because I missed the Eurostar from London to Paris!
Have a more realistic budget- I ended up going well over my 80 Euro a day budget.. lots of it was on all the tasty food there was in Europe!
Take day trips to smaller cities- well worth it!
Not go in August. I know this is pretty shallow but some nightclubs close completely in Paris and Berlin because August is a slow month. Was told by many people to go in July.
Other than that that was it! The trains are so central there I didn't have any problem whatsoever locating them! Also the tube stations were easy to follow in every city as well. I am already planning a trip to Europe in July of next year! Cheers, Shawn.
