Europe isn't just a place that you can explore for a week, it's one of the biggest continents in the world, so, if you're planning to really get to know Europe, its people, and its culture, better prepare yourselves. A
tour in Europe requires time, so atleast 5-6 months before you fly there, think of your specific destination.
If you want to
go to France first, you better learn the basics of the language - French. Millions of tourists fly there every year, so better book your flights 3-4 months before. You can't just go there and expect that you can sleep anywhere and book a hotel room on the spot, so better check on that the same time you've purchased your air fare. And, let's say you want to really go around, apply for the
Eurail pass, that would settle everything, pack your bags and you're off!
