Barcelona Spain

The enchanting city of Barcelona is a visual delight, and has an atmosphere that combines elegance and sophistication with provincial charm.

Amsterdam Netherlands

Lively, lascivious Amsterdam has a unique atmosphere that belies the caricature of the dour Dutch.Radiating out from the Dam Square, the historic centre of the city is ringed by quaint canals and cobbled streets, thronged with bicycles, tourists, houseboats, students, and street performers. The city wears two faces: on one it smiles and beckons hedonistic youth with its notorious Red Light District and liberal view of marijuana use, while on the...

The splendid city of Istanbul has many unique and fascinating features. It is the only city in the world reaching across two continents, with its old city in Europe and modern Istanbul situated in Asia, separated by the Bosphorus Strait.

Budapest Hungary

Budapest is the capital of Hungary, and with a population of 1.8 million citizens, it is by far the biggest city in the country. The city is often referred to as the Paris of the east, and deserves this name. It bears some resemblance to Prague, but is larger and friendlier. The picturesque setting on two sides of the Danube, the nine connecting bridges, and the villas and public buildings from the fin de siEcle era really make Budapest one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe...

Prague Czech Republic

The Czech Republics capital and international showpiece, Prague is one of the most popular destinations in Eastern Europe.

There are many fascinating hostels in Europe, but also many that you should avoid. Since backpacking is usually a random act by its nature, most people dont even bother to book or at least search for a hostel. If you are lucky to avoid hustlers waiting for you in train stations, offering cheap but probably low standards accommodation, you will end up paying high prices for crowded rooms with noise and bad smells. To avoid unpleasant hostel memories, my recommendation would be book your hostel online.

If you want to book hostels online, we offer free online booking for more european hostels than any other website. You can read cheap hostel reviews and make sure you are choosing the best deal.
