While you can spend your whole life traveling there is no doubt that it can be easier when you are younger with less annoying things like mortgages, bills and families to tie you down.
We’ve picked 27 of the all time best places to visit in Europe before you turn 30…
1. Louvain – Brussels
Small student town just outside Brussels that is teaming with young people, cheap but great quality beer and a constant party scene.
2. Florence – Italy
Full of culture, great food and stuff to see. It’s also a stop on the backpacker tours so the bars and clubs are brilliant fun.
3. Island Hopping – Greece
Choose from any of the hundreds of islands and just buy yourself a ferry pass and sleep on the beaches by day and party all night.
4. Dublin – Ireland
A city being reborn after a bad recession and full of great bars, friendly locals and more pints of Guinness than you could probably ever imagine (or drink)!
5. Reykjavik – Iceland
Dotted up as North as you could go the people here are liberal, love to party and some of the scenery to see is like something from another planet. Incredible.
6. Dubrovnik – Croatia
A must visit at any time of year but especially in the summer when the party scene lights up. Seems to be a special atmosphere as people have only been living freely for a couple of decades. Very popular with the yacht week crowd.
7. Ibiza – Spain
Couldn’t really leave the party capital of Europe off the list now could we?! From the opening parties in May through to end of season in September you’ll never not have fun here.
8. Mayrhofen – Austria
Once a quiet skiing village, Mayrhofen is now one of the party capitals of Europe… during the winter months. Expect world class DJs, top slopes and a week of sheer fun.

A creative hub that is best known for the festival but come her at anytime of the year to live it up and enjoy their world class nightlife and friendly locals.
10. Budapest, Hungary
The city is bisected by the River Danube and this is a super place to come on a budget. Try the baths by day and the wild party scene at night time.
