Planning a solo 2 week Europe itinerary - what should I choose next?
I have 2 weeks vacation and was planning on visiting Europe in early June. I just can’t decide where!
I’m 24 and this would be my first time doing hostel style travel. I work as a software engineer so I’m trying to get out and meet people.
And although I don’t want to be partying 24/7, I do want to get out of my comfort zone and party a little. I never got to party in college. I want to do it while I’m still relatively young
Wants:
Idk how to narrow down the places I’m interested in seeing. Ive already been to Paris, London, Prague, and Vienna. So far the places that interest me are:
Amsterdam, NL and nearby Belgium (Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp). Amsterdam seems cool because of all the museums and beautiful rivers, and Bruges just looks like straight out of a storybook.
Berlin, Germany (heard great things about the clubs, but besides that doesn’t seem very interesting to me at first glance). Not as nice scenery. I could be wrong tho!
Budapest, Hungary. Like Berlin with cool Ruin bars. But not as scenic as like Greek islands or parts of Spain/Italy.
Spain and Portugal in general. Feel like it has a good mix of beauty, party, sightseeing.
Italy, same as Spain. Although I hear the hostel scene isn’t as good there?
Greece, this looks so freaking beautiful (especially Santorini, but is it good for solo traveling or is more for couples?)
Others that seem cool: Scotland, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, and Southern France.
Budget: $8,000 but I doubt I would get anywhere near that.
