Would you do this 5-flight Europe loop for €86 total, or is this too chaotic?
I’ve been looking into multi-city flight-hopping trips: routes where you start and end in the same city, but visit several places along the way, with each stop being a real stay rather than a layover.
Example I found:
Stockholm → Budapest — 2026-08-04
Budapest → Milan — 2026-08-07
Milan → Sofia — 2026-08-19
Sofia → Krakow — 2026-08-26
Krakow → Stockholm — 2026-08-27
Last time I checked, the flights were around €86 total, excluding bags, seat selection, airport transfers, etc.
I’ve only done one trip like this myself. My main lessons were: travel with only a backpack, bring quick-drying clothes, make sure at least one accommodation has a washing machine, and leave enough buffer in each city so the trip does not become exhausting.
For people who have done this kind of trip:
How do you usually find chains of flights like this?
Do you use Google Flights Explore, Skyscanner, Kiwi, airline route maps, or something else?
What are your dos and don’ts?
How many stops is too many before it stops being fun?
