There is so much to see in Europe that one week might not seem like enough, but good news \u2013 the continent is so well-connected that, with the right planning, you\u2019ll still be able to check a lot of experiences off your bucket list. Planning a Europe trip can be overwhelming, but we\u2019ve got you covered with this list of things to consider. Whether you\u2019re a first-timer to Europe or a seasoned traveller, we\u2019ll help you make the most of what will definitely be the trip of a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/n\/europe-7-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Europe for one week <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How&nbsp;to&nbsp;plan&nbsp;for&nbsp;a&nbsp;trip&nbsp;to&nbsp;Europe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make an itinerary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step, and trickiest part of any European trip, is to plan where you want to go. If you\u2019re travelling with friends, narrow down a list of places you want to hit together, then map out a logical itinerary that makes sense for your time frame and budget. Though it can be tempting to try and fit as many destinations in as possible, it\u2019s best to spend at least a full day wherever you plan to stop \u2013 only then will you be able to get the best feel for the place, and see more of what it has to offer without feeling rushed. If you\u2019re having a hard time narrowing it down, keep in mind that you can always hit the places you missed on your next Europe trip \u2013 that way, you can be guaranteed to return even without having to throw a coin into the Trevi fountain over your left shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-places-to-visit-in-europe-in-spring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Best Places to Visit in Europe in Spring<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble narrowing down exactly what you want to see and where you want to see it, one of the best options for spending a week in Europe is joining a group tour. Not only will you enjoy included accommodation and meals, your guide will know all the best hidden gem spots that you never would have known about if you were travelling solo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe5.jpg\" alt=\"Cinque Terre, Italy\" class=\"wp-image-20080 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe5.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe5-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/450;\" \/><figcaption>Ready to see places you&#8217;ve only seen on Instagram? | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/D1fs2x11_jk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Raul Taciu\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Raul Taciu\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time your trip<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When making your itinerary, time your trip around the things you want to see the most. There\u2019s a lot going on in Europe year-round, but there might be specific experiences that might be dealbreakers for your trip. Summer is high season for most destinations, for good reason \u2013 the weather tends to be best in the summer months. However, this might mean visiting spots that are off the beaten track to avoid tourist crowds. Go to the Netherlands in the spring if you want to see the Keukenhof tulips in full bloom, or go in the fall for Oktoberfest in Germany, and other harvest festivals around Europe. Winter might seem like a more unconventional time for vacation, but it\u2019s a great time to travel if you want to see all the Christmas markets around Germany and Austria, find true <em>hygge <\/em>in Denmark, or live our your Love Actually dreams in London. It\u2019s also the optimal time to hit the best ski slopes in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bring necessary documentation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve decided on the perfect itinerary, it\u2019s time to get all your paperwork in order. Check that your passport is valid for the duration of your trip, and consider <a href=\"\/travel-insurance?source=dtc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"buying travel insurance (opens in a new tab)\">buying travel insurance<\/a>. Make sure you\u2019re able to get any visas you might need to cross the border \u2013 depending on your citizenship, you might need a Schengen visa. Thanks to the open borders of the Schengen area, travelling between countries in the area is unrestricted, but be sure to carry identification as well as confirmations of accommodation and transportation to avoid any trouble at the borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe4.jpg\" alt=\"Cochem, Germany\" class=\"wp-image-20079 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe4.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe4-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption>Europe is like a fairytale! | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/-uQBxh6L5D4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Kai Pilger\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Kai Pilger\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take out local currency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s super helpful to have cash on hand in Europe \u2013 it can be useful when paying small local vendors, public transit fares, and cab fare. Though most of Europe is generally good with withdrawing cash from cash machines and accepting foreign credit and debit cards, having a decent amount of the local currency on hand can back you up against credit and debit card malfunctions, and help to avoid incurring foreign exchange fees from your bank. <\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/places-to-go-stargazing-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Best Places to Go Stargazing in Europe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn some language&nbsp;basics<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any trip to Europe is going to be a cultural experience of a lifetime, so why not make the most of it and learn some of the local tongue?

This can be hard, but one week is the perfect amount of time to pack for \u2013 you\u2019ll have enough space to bring the essentials and still have a bit of room to bring home some awesome souvenirs. Don\u2019t worry if you find yourself needing something you didn\u2019t bring \u2013 things are accessible in Europe, and it\u2019ll be a great excuse to check out the shopping scene if you need to pick something up. Bring travel adapters and keep the weather in mind, but above all else, bring a pair of comfy shoes. Opting to walk places will help you save on cab fare or transit costs, and walking the streets of Europe is the best way to see the sights.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-mini-moon-destinations-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Best Mini-Moon Destinations in Europe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n\n\n<p>All your stuff should fit within one carry-on bag. Everyone will tell you that one of the biggest perks of Europe is amazing train travel, and carrying only hand luggage will allow you take advantage of it. Not only is train travel in Europe easy and accessible, it can also be wonderfully scenic \u2013 one of the most beautiful train rides I\u2019ve ever taken was from Salzburg to Venice, and it was incredible to watch as my view of the Alps changed into the Adriatic. If you are going to be flying between destinations, having only a carry-on means you won\u2019t be stuck at baggage claim waiting for a checked bag \u2013 you only have a week, so there\u2019s no time to waste! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe2.jpg\" alt=\"Trees in Bern, Switzerland\" class=\"wp-image-20077 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe2.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe2-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Bern, Switzerland | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/4ZQOiDXbzDo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Alexandre Perotto\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Alexandre Perotto\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>While you\u2019re there<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to ensure an amazing experience on your Europe trip, make sure to keep an eye on your belongings, and watch for any tourist scams that might ruin your time. Take a lot of pictures, and don\u2019t be afraid to break out the touristy poses! Be sensitive to the local culture, and take care not to offend. When you\u2019re out and about, it\u2019s always a good idea to have a physical copy of a local map on hand, and take advantage of Wi-Fi hotspots to stay connected without having to pay exorbitant fees for roaming services. Account for transit and waiting times when planning your days, and keep in mind some countries in southern Europe close mid-afternoon for a siesta \u2013 from experience, it can be agonizing to arrive in Italy after a long train ride only to have to wait for restaurants to open so that you can finally have your first amazing plate of pasta (but was definitely worth the wait!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe1.jpg\" alt=\"By the water in Dinant, Belgium\" class=\"wp-image-20076 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe1.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Europe1-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/453;\" \/><figcaption>Dinant, Belgium | <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/3lxrM5yvkcI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u00a9 Alex Vasey\/Unsplash (opens in a new tab)\">\u00a9 Alex Vasey\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you did all the research and prepared everything for your trip to Europe, everything will be a breeze while you\u2019re there.
