Rate my solo trip itinerary: Munich to Prague to Krakow to Warsaw to Vilnius to Riga to Tallinn to Helsinki to Stockholm to Copenhagen. Any tips?
Hey everyone,
I'm planning a solo trip for this July and wanted to get some feedback on my route. I live near Munich, so the trip will start there, and it will end in Copenhagen, from where I will head back home. I have a budget of around €4000 and want to travel for about 26 to 30 days using only trains, buses, and ferries. I will be staying in hostels along the way.
I'm a bit more on the introverted side, so I’m looking for a mix of cool architecture, history, unique local vibes, and places where I can just wander around with my headphones on. I am definitely not into big party scenes or packed holiday resorts, and I prefer chill hostels over party ones.
The route goes from Munich to Prague, then Krakow, Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, Helsinki, Stockholm, and finally Copenhagen before I make my way back home.
I traveled to Budapest last year and noticed prices went up quite a bit, so I know Eastern Europe isn't dirt cheap anymore, and I know Scandinavia will be pricey too.
I would love to know how realistic this timeline feels with an average of about two and a half days per city. Have any of you visited these specific cities recently and could share your experience? I would also highly appreciate if you could recommend a good, safe, and laid-back hostel in any of these locations that fits a relaxed solo-traveler vibe. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
