I'm planning my first Europe trip and would rather learn from other people's mistakes. What did you do wrong on your first trip that you would avoid next time?

AI Summary

The biggest mistakes were trying to visit too many places, underestimating travel days, packing too much, eating only near tourist sites, and not booking key attractions early enough. Users recommended slower pacing and more realistic schedules.

My biggest mistake was moving cities too often. Every travel day took more energy than I expected, even when the distance looked short.

Do not plan every day like a checklist. Leave room to wander, rest, and enjoy the place instead of rushing to the next stop.

Book the famous attractions ahead if they matter to you. I missed a couple of places because I assumed I could just show up.

I packed way too much. Dragging a heavy suitcase over old streets and train platforms was miserable.
