How to plan a Europe trip yourself (and save money)

Trains over flights, the right neighbourhoods for hotels and when to book attraction tickets.

Europe on your own is very doable from India, and often much cheaper than a fixed group tour. Here’s what makes the biggest difference.

Fewer cities, more days

Every move costs a half-day. Three or four cities in ten days feels relaxed; six feels like a race.

Trains first

For many routes, trains go city centre to city centre and save airport time. Booking early usually gets better fares.

Stay near transport

A hotel near a main station or metro line can be cheaper than the old town and saves money on taxis.
