    You just have to plan your itinerary well. Decide where you will start and where you will leave from first. It’ll be easier to then decide where you want to stop between those 2 cities. I agree with getting a Eurail pass. Research on each destination city and places to stay and book in advance.

     

    I prefer exploring 1 city for a few days, before I travel to the next, to make sure I don’t miss anything and at least I don’t have the feeling that I missed seeing something important after the trip.

     

    Zurich and Geneva are lovely, very expensive though. London and Paris just a bit less expensive from my experience. I really liked Austria, Salzburg more than Vienna. Italy is of course a must see. Germany for the history but a lot of the cities that were bombed in WW2 just feel new and lack the atmosphere of the older architecture. Portugal I enjoyed and less tourists also.

     

    My bucket list now are the Eastern European cities. Czech Republic and Croatia where my friends have been look great.

     

    Just watch out for pickpockets, they’re everywhere.

     

    I usually use Pacsafe bags. They can be locked and are slash proof. And I also use either an inside money pouch around my neck or waist to separate my cash and credit/atm cards.

     

    The advice not to keep them all in one bag is very sound.
