Places like Amsterdam and Paris may have more to offer than Frankfurt so check BackpackingEurope.com for backpacker recommended hostels in these locations.
If arriving into London, getting cheap flights to the continent is highly likely, the choice huge, so any one of these destinations can be the deciding factor of where you start your trip. Easy Jet.com is an example of how many European destinations are available to you.
More intimate things are offered to the independent traveler like integrating with locals, you'll absorb more culture you'll find more out of the way places full of charm and adventure.
These make up the most memorable moments of your trip.
Pick a few countries to see, if possible, trying to visit all of Europe at once can be a big challenge. Otherwise if this is your first trip and you want to get a taste of "Europe" then many people do a whirlwind trip ear tagging favorite places to visit at another time.
