IN THE KNOW – CAMPING AT THE EUROS
It promises to be a month-long festival of football. Euro 2024 kicks off in Munich on 14 June and comes to a conclusion with the final on 14 July at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium.
Both Scotland and England – and possibly Wales, too – will be there.
But with tens of thousands of fans heading to Germany from these shores, flights and hotel rooms will be almost impossible to find – and what’s still available would cost a small fortune.
Campervanners have got an advantage over everyone else, though – we can easily travel from city to city and take our accommodation with us.
Germany has a brilliant football culture and some of the best stadiums in the world, so even if you can’t get tickets for one of the home nations’ games, being able to attend any match at the tournament is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
In fact, just enjoying the atmosphere in one of the host cities on a match day will be amazing in itself, whether you actually go to the game or not.
As well as being fantastic for football fans, Germany has loads of great places to stop overnight, from the thousands of basic stellplätze that are dotted around the country, to well-appointed campsites bursting with facilities. Find out how to campervan at the Euros with our complete guide…
