Hi!
I'd definitely advise you to get an interrail ticket - check out www.interrail.net - for some real useful and cool information. You could also look at www.interrailnet.com (although I would recommend the first one - it's better)!
Good luck with it!

on your own, no package tours. Renting a car is best, if you can't afford it take the train. Stay in small hotels/pensions where the locals stay--avoid the hostels full of other foreign tourists unless the primary purpose of your trip is to spend time with other foreigners.

You do not cite your age, but most of the answers seem to come from youngsters, so here's my 63 year old answer.
Do your research before you leave home.
Europe is not much fun in August, that's when the locals take their vacations.If you can, travel in the Spring or Fall.
What is your level of traveling experiences? Are you a self sufficient type? For your first visit travel with a group or a friend, not a sibling or cousin (you do not want your love life or embarrassing moments to become Family History.)You might look into group or Church travel. Many monasteries and some convents have cheap accommodations. When I was younger I stayed in Hostels, now that I am older, Elder hostels, Bed & Breakfast homes and Pensions.
Europe is rewarding but do not try and visit all of it at once, savor it and immerse yourself in one region at a time. Remember also that here in America you can say and do many things that you cannot in foreign countries. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is still the best advice.
Enjoy yourself and find the best of Europe.

Go with a tour group you will see all the cities and dont have to worry about getting lost

Mr. Wizard

Right now, use the safest approach: via the Internet...until we gain more USA-friendly European countries: Waving the Stars n' Stripes in some overseas countries right now is NOT the smartest idea at the moment!

Alex

The web. :D

I've never been to Europe, but from what I've heard it's definitely by rail.

excited!!

tour bus

bubi

by bus and it is really cheap like 20 bucks per person or so

or by train which is not very safe

maybe this is wat me momy say

A Eurail pass of course! You can buy a train ticket for around a 150 Euros and start off in England then take the "Chunnel" to Paris and on to Brussels, Vienna. Lisbon or Barcelona. For less than the cost of a interstate plane ticket you can see the whole of Europe quickly and efficiently. I wouldnt go with the "Youth Hostel" housing option though- book your hotels with local B and B's if you can, and Keep your copy of "Rick Steve's back door pass to Europe" in your Knap Sack. Hes full of good advice!

If you got the money, there are many ways,
If you don't have much money, purchase an ATLAS, explore whenever you feel free :-(

haslo

Eurail pass, probably...

Are you going via airlines or are you doing it from the privacy of your home on the computer, man do they have some wonderful places to visit on the computer and you don't even have to get dressed!

fanlandcheese

get an inter-rail ticket. It allows travel round europe for a set period of time. A bit like a round the world ticket for a plane. check out national express too.

Clau

If you have the money travel if not do it on-line... that way you will be ready for when you have the momney!

walk... it'll take you a long time, but you'll end your jouney eventually. It'l be great fun... go on... you should.

YOU SHOULD ENSURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY FOR TRAVELING EXPENSES AND ETC. START CALLING TRAVEL AGENCIES, AND SEE WHAT WHO HAS THE BEST OFFER. GET A ROUND TRIP TICKET TO EUROPE. ENJOY YOUR STAY AND BRING ME BACK A T-SHIRT (SZ MED).!!!

Ask a Travel Agent, visit a website to learn more info about Europe.

try a rail pass and youth hostels rick steves has written many easy guides to europe and hes on pbs and the books are in the library

danintel91

Definitely get a EurRail Flexpass. Sticking to the Major cities by train gives you more flexibility on where and when you travel. Learn German because in most of those country people speak it. Travel through Switzerland by day because it is so beautiful. Try to use the "InnerCity" train lines because they have restaurant cars.

To get to a diferent contry,use a train.To explor a city,walk or use a bike.

I'd say to start at venice, stay there for a couple of days its just a really beautifull place, and it will put you in the right frame of mind to tackle the rest. av a great time good luck don't forget to check out the market at rialto bridge ..........

Backpacking has always been a popular method, but you'll need to plan where you want to go, so you don't get into the trouble areas.
