I plan to explore Europe next summer for 2 months and would like to know if a backpack or suitcase is better?

We will mainly be taking the train (eurorail) to explore and get to the other countries. I currently do not own a backpack and would like to save the money for the actually trip but would like some advice on which is the best option to take for this long period of a trip.

Whatever you get, make sure it's on wheels - much, much easier on your back!
I suggest that if you are taking the train more, then you should get a good backpack! If you have a suitcase, then on the train it may be harder to get things that are stuffed on the bottom of the suitcase, where a backpack may be easier. But if you prefer a suitcase then thats totally fine! :DI plan to explore Europe next summer for 2 months and would like to know if a backpack or suitcase is better?
Hi Port,



it really does not matter whether you use a suitcase or a backpack. If you use a suitcase make sure it is one with good rollers. Also, on the trains it makes no difference whatsoever.
Backpack! My boyfriend did it for 6 weeks with a suitcase and it was trashed by the end of it. All the while he was wishing he brought a backpack instead. Go for the backpack. Its easier to carry and keep safe.
