Travel in Europe.?

Eurorail pass definately, cheap an easy. Take this through Portuagal, Spain (Malaga, Costa Del Sol, Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona), France(Nice, St Tropes, Monaco ( monter Carlo), Lyon, Marsielle, Tolouse, the place where evian is from, Versailles: where Marie Antoinette lived with King Louis Xll, Bordeaux, Lille, Chambary, Mont Blanc, Paris and Strasbourg!) Then u have done the entire France, only spend a like day in some of the small tows like Toulouse, etc. Spend a few in beautiful Nice and St Tropez! (south of Francce) and spend heaps in Paris ofcourse! I'll tell u right now that the best place for scuba diving is in Nice, the South of France. Has some of the most unique marine life in the world and is just amazing! Very beautiful, clear water. Then go across the english channel (only 2 hours away by a french train called the TGV) to London! Then Italy, Greece, Czech republis, Germany, Brussels, Luxembourg, Vienna, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo are also amazing cities! Definately visit Stockholm, the place is built upon 14 different islands and is just amazing! Lively at night too, beautiful people, lots speak english as their 2nd language. Wish I could go with you! Will do it one day! Hope this helped, and have fun! :)

I did Europe entirely on my own when I was twenty. I look back as an older adult, now, and I think MY God! What was my mother thinking that whole time!? I wrote to my parents frecuently, but never called, that would have taken too much time, and this was WAY before internet, so, I wonder how much my mom worried about me. I think of all the things I did where I might have gotten into real danger, had certain situations occured slightly differently, and yet, I was lucky, and a bit savvy, and managed not to get into any trouble (no stranger-danger too much to handle, etc.) and I had the time of my life! I think travelling with a good friend or your cousin sounds terrific!!! How old are you? Are you both mature enough to handle things if they DO get a little rough? can you avoid sticky situations, or get out of them if you get into them? I would say, if you are under twenty, you should be extremely mature to go alone, or wait a couple of years for that. Whatever you do, don't do the one night in every city thing. Concentrate on a couple of cities if your time is too short to do everything well. It is important to really get a feel for each city/country you are in, and not to just be able to say you were in each major city. Be sure to build in some down time, nature and such. And be flexible. I found my down time was planned just a week too late, and I wound up blowing one major city, because I was already burnt out. After spending a few days in the mountains, I was much refreshed, and started with a new spirit. (for me, it was about two and a half, maybe three weeks of really intense city/museum stuff that ruined the fourth week). What you should watch out for is, first, be aware of any terrorist activity, and try to avoid places that look iffy...I was in Belfast the day one of the hunger strikers had died, and there were riots. I managed to get out pretty quickly, but had I stayed in the Youth Hostel, would have been pretty sticky. Watch out for pickpockets, they can ruin your trip. Keep more than one source of money, two or more credit cards are a good idea, just try to get the kind that don't charge too much for the exchange. They run from 1 - 3%. The actual exchange rate is the best using a card. ATM cards should have 4-digit PINs. 5-digit ones don't work in a lot of European machines. They, too, are a great way to avoid carrying too much cash, and traveller's checques aren't accepted much anymore. Men. be aware of strange men. Don't go anywhere you're not sure about with some strange native. you just never know. Stay in public places. and use taxis at night. Just, generally use good common sense. get your youth hostel card, and if you are a student, an international student ID card, and a train pass (research the options, there are several, so you can decide which is best for you), before you leave the US. And have fun! if you decide to do it the backpack way.

Icelandair has some great rates to a bunch of European cities. The benefit of using them is that you can stay over in Reykjavik for up to 7 days for no additional airfare. They also have a $99 one night stayover with free transportation, free breakfast, a Reykjavik city card, and one night hotel. I would check out their website for stuff like that.
