Backpacking is a great way to explore a new destination. If you’ve read our content regularly you’ll know I love traveling in Europe, and I especially enjoy the freedom of trekking across the continent with my whole life in a backpack.A backpack works better than a suitcase when I travel from city to city, especially if I take the train with an abundance of stairs (looking at you, Hampstead Station). Many of the smaller European cities or older ones, such as Bruges, lack the infrastructure for rolling suitcases. Choosing the best travel backpack for Europe, however, is both an art and a science.
