Inter-railing bagage?

tallulah_crack

hey this might seem like a bit of a stupid question but im going inter-railing around europe for a month and i was wondering what kind of luggage you would recommend i bring...large backpack, small wheelie case...?
any suggestions appriciated!

i brought a decent rucksack. Hand luggage would kill you arms after a few hours.

Definitely backpack - I went for a month two years ago and brought a 60L - it weighed about 13kilos. My friend brought a wheelie and it was ridiculously awkward. Some cities will not have smooth footpaths - like a wheelie in venice doesn't work!

brought a wheelie lol id say you laughed at that..

dont bring too much is another thing you'll end up regretting it when your breaking your back lugging a heavy backpack around

One of those big 60L Backpacks should do it. They sell them in Aldi or Lidl around this time of year. I got one last year, they're well made and comfortable.

I got a 60L backpack aswel... perfect for the job! We spent a month interrailing last summer and the aldi ones held up the same as the "branded" ones...

My Lidl one ripped before i even left just lying around the house, they won't be much more expensive if you go to a good outdoor pursuits shop

60L would be the very max i'd bring, you seriously don't want to be carrying any more on your back

You dont by any chance work in "The great outdoors" do ya?

ya, had an 88L bag and couldnt get it off my back fast enough once in the hostel.

As previous posters said, definitely get a backpack. 60L is a good size but absolutely no bigger. And there's no need to fill the bag! You will be very thankful to have a light bag!
