Going on a 1-month urban backpacking trip in Western Europe; how large a pack do I need?


About myself and the trip:



  • I am a 6'1" (185 cm), 23 year old American male traveling with another 23 year old male friend.

  • I arrive in Barcelona in June and leave from Copenhagen in July. In between we are visiting France, Italy, Switzerland, the Rhine Valley, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

  • I am planning to stay in hostels pretty much every night.

  • I don't intend to get any souvenirs.


I need to buy my backpack soon, but don't know how large of one to get. Any advice would be appreciated. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.
