Itinerary
Day 1: Amsterdam
Arrive at any time, find a comfy spot in the hostel to relax or go out to explore before meeting fellow Roamies in the evening.
Day 2: Amsterdam/Berlin
Remember booking this trip months back? Now, you're actually on it, in the places you hoped to experience. What a cool feeling! Soak it up with an included bike tour of Amsterdam. Hop on two wheels and cruise along the city's canals like the locals do. Then, travel by train from Amsterdam to Berlin where you will have a free evening to explore this fascinating city. You could also spend the evening unwinding in your hostel. Maybe play some cards as a group. Anyone ever heard of “Pitch”?
Day 3: Berlin
Let loose today, we dare you. Why? Because it will be fun, especially with your newest pals. Get your bearings with an orientation walk with your CEO around the city. Then, it's your turn to explore the tangible history and melting pot of cultures at work here. Head straight for the Berlin Wall, walk through the Brandenburg Gate, and feast those eyes on the Checkpoint Charlie Museum.
Want to try something even cooler? Rent a bike and visit the now defunct Tempelhof Airport which doubles as a beautiful park space in the city. (A best-kept local secret if we do say so ourselves). At night lounge in the hostel or witness the vibrant nightlife Berlin is known for.
Day 4: Berlin/Prague
Prague is up next, with a few treats along the way! First up on your journey is Dresden, Germany. Home to a booming art scene, we think a visit there to wander around the cobblestone streets, is a must. Explore the picturesque old town, stroll through the charming streets and take in the beautiful views of the Elbe River. Step back in time and admire the stunning reconstruction of Frauenkirche, a must-see landmark in Dresden. Indulge in the art and culture scene.
Afterwards, hit the road and arrive in Prague by early evening. Your day doesn't end here, gather as a group and go on a highlight walk with your cool CEO passing must-see places like, the TV Tower of Prague, the Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge, and John Lennon's Wall, followed by a beer tasting to experience Prague's famous brews.
Day 5: Prague
Soak up the atmosphere of Prague on a highlight walk of all the city has to offer. Afterwards, hit up the famous Charles Bridge with your friends, admire the clock tower in the main square, or sit and sip a thirst-quenching brew at a traditional Czech beer hall with a side of meat and potatoes. It's guaranteed to be a loud, lively and marvellous time! Remember, it's all up to you.
Day 6: Prague/Vienna
You're in for a day of unbeatable views! Get ready for another round of those back-in-time feelings as you stroll through the Medieval town of Cesky Krumlov on the way to Vienna. Be your own Queen (or King) of the castle as you explore 13th century ramparts with the added bonus of spectacular views. Slip into your inner explorer and see the Old Town from the top of the round bell tower, people watch from a cafe in the main square while you debate as a group where to have lunch, and then toss a coin to make the decision.
Finish the day in Vienna where you'll get to know the city as a group on an evening highlights walk. Pass sites like, St. Stephen's Cathedral, Rathaus, National Library, The Hofburg and much more. Later, kick back, relax, and have some laughs at your hostel.
Day 7: Vienna
We're excited for you today! The day is yours after a short walking tour, but don't let the freedom paralyze you. We have plenty of suggestions. You could seek out famous landmarks like, The Vienna State Opera House, Belvedere Palace, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and Vienna City Hall.
Remember, we all need a little downtime during our travels, so if you need a break we get it. Grab a coffee, order a slice of mouthwatering cake and settle yourself in with your pals on a café terrace as the world moves on around you. Don't worry, you still have plenty of time to keep finding a few world-famous museums and indulge in typical Austrian desserts like strudel or Sacher Torte. Keep in mind your CEO just might know the best secret places that will really set your experience apart from the main crowd. Ask away!
Day 8: Vienna/Salzburg
If you have a soft spot for beautiful alpine lakes that border two countries, today is going to check off all of those boxes. You'll be able to wander around the clear waters of Konigsee, smell the fresh air, and find that inner peace that comes from being in the great outdoors.
Salzburg is up next, so don't forget to save some of that wanderlust energy! You'll go with the group on an orientation walk of the city. Wander the historic squares and quaint little side streets of Salzburg Old Town. Climb Festungsberg Hill to visit Hohensalzburg Castle, or find the birthplace of Mozart and meet up to go to the museum there.
Day 9: Salzburg/Munich
A whistle blows in the distance as a conductor shouts, “All Aboard!” You rush to the platform, jumping on with just moments to spare. While this may not be exactly what happens today, it will pretty much be along those lines when you hop on a train from Salzburg to Munich. A city with a big heart, as charming as it is laid back, and as buzzing as it is calm will be waiting for you upon arrival.
Spend time in Marienplatz, home to the Old and New Town Halls. Find the famous glockenspiel, or one of the many great beer halls, or the green dome-crested towers of the iconic Church of Our Lady. The vibe is totally up to you, have a pint, or two, or three!
Day 10: Munich
Depart at any time, or maybe extend your stay in the hostel for a few more days to keep the good times rolling.

The trip was great overall and I would definitely recommend it, but there were a couple elements that could be improved.

Overall good experience. Felt it was a little pricey for hostel living and expected more tickets/admissions to be included since they were in the itinerary.

I really enjoyed the tour, and would highly recommend G Adventures, but maybe less so the roamies format

Had an excellent experience with the exception of some hostels really missing the mark (too many winding stair cases, QR code entry, having to put our own sheets on the beds, limited bathroom availability).

Ronald I - Traveled, July 2023
After going on a trip with my fellow roamies, I believe that it is an excellent way to travel to new places. Some hostels were better than others and I think I would',ve preferred a somewhat slower pace between cities but I'm glad I went.

It's good for traveling on a budget, but they should be prepared for very fast paced travel style, and possibly not getting quality sleep or arrangements.

I had an amazing experience?as someone who had never been to Europe before, this style of travel was a perfect way to see a lot of sights and cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Of course, that can't happen without the behind the scenes being taken care of and things being well-planned out, and I felt that that was certainly the case. Claudia was an amazing guide and always made sure that everyone knew where they had to be and felt included.

I really enjoyed the travel experience that I had on this Roamies by Hostelworld & G Adventures trip. I think this is a great way to travel solo with ease, to meet new people, and to experience new places. The only reason I did not rank a 10/10 is because I did find that the trip moved very quickly, which was great in some respects because we got to see more places, but I did at time wish that we had a little bit more time in some locations.

The degree of care taken by the administrative staff affords travelers an otherwise inaccessible degree of freedom. The value added by the CEO ensures that travelers get the most out of every stop on the tour.

Great way to meet other travellers of a similar age, and more affordable than hotels.
