Hanging Out in Europe is the hippest, smartest, most honest travel guide yet for the college-age crowd, and will show you where the party is in every major city in Europe. Discover Madrid, the city whose nightlife never ends, and Dublin, where half the population is under 25. Learn how to surf an artificial wave in Munich, and where to find clothing-optional beaches on the Riviera. Follow the local belly dancers to the monthly techno party in a Budapest bathhouse. Get the lowdown on great little hostels and inns, the happening museums and festivals, and the best cheap eats in every corner of the continent. More important, tune in and turn on to the local attitude and vibe. Fun, irreverent, and totally real, Hanging Out in Europe is the guide for the savvy young traveler who wants to experience Europe the way the locals live it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for college students =), March 24, 2002

I got this book as a going-away gift for my best friend who is studying abroad. She was raving about how useful it has been and how she and her flat mates used it religiously. Then when I went to visit her for spring break, we used the book to find the Best hang outs in England and Spain. The book has honest feedback, helpful maps, commonly-used phrases/lingo, price informations, dress code recommendations, and describes the scenes of all the best places to eat, drink, sleep, sight-see and party.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would have not made it through Europe without this book, December 18, 2004

This book, is the reason why my treck all through Europe was so successful. I am in college and I studied abroad in London for a semester, and on the weekends my friends and I would travel. We did not even know where to book hostels, and what parts of town are good to stay in, until we consulted this book. This book guided us from where to stay in Amsterdam, to the best outdoor cafes in Rome... It is the perfect guide for the college budget traveler, that does not have alot of time in one city. From the best party sights, to the best views, this book has it all.

This is great. Especially if you are looking for something a little more trendy. Lodging is accurately described. Clubs were all a hit.
