Is it possible to backpack around europe in winter?
A lot depends on what you are used to, but even people from tropical countries have traveled in Europe in winter and enjoyed the experience. All over Europe you can expect frost in winter, but in southern Europe it is rare. In winter you can very good travel the cities of Europe, like London, Paris, Rome and so on. Smaller towns close down for the winter months, except the wintersports towns. Whether you bring a backpack or a suitcase does not make much of a difference, it is called backpacking when you travel from place to place and stay in hostels or cheap hotels. Do not bring a suitcase that is so heavy that you can not lift it, you will still need to walk around with it more often than you expect. You can look up the average temperatures for the countries or cities you want to go to, or you can ask again here, mentioning where you are from and where you want to go, so we can give you a good advice.
