• I have time off until the last week of august and want to travel. what would be the cheapest still best place to fly to in europe from sfo? I would like to stay for 10 -14 days...and travel around. I know it may not sound so realistic without any planning but such is life. any ideas? comments? how much do you think i will need to backpack around some countries in europe in 4 weeks? what would you recommend?

• Answer:

  One of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe is Turkey and you could probably find a very affordable package holiday in a hotel. But for traveling around back packing then you would probably be better considering places like Holland, Germany, Belgium or France. They have great facilities for camping and the further south you go the better the chance of decent weather. You could go by train or coach to make it more affordable. You will need to make some plans though and you would probably want to get a pass for rail or coach travel that lets you travel pretty much where you want.
