In Europe

No matter what you call it - independent travelling, backpacking, social exploring? You don't need to travel far from home to experience a completely different culture. Europe is your playground!  Whether your thing is extreme sports, history, music festivals, archeology, there will be something for you.

Eurodesk can help you by providing you with local information across Europe from the location of the closest youth information shop in Oslo, Norway to festivals to visit when you are on your way to Estonia.

If you are strapped for time you can ask us to ask our European network for local tips on getting around, cheap accommodation, funky places to hang out and the kind of things they don't tell the tourists. 

Tip

Many European countries produce a travel guide for young budget travellers in English. Make your first point of call to a youth information centre to bag a great deal on accommodation, food and entertainment.
