Instructions
Step 1
If you want to maintain independence on the way, plan the route yourself, do not limit yourself in luggage, you should go to Europe in your car. You should obtain a Schengen visa in advance, book hotels and print your booking confirmation pages. If you are in Germany, order a special sticker with the environmental level of your car ahead of time. When driving around the Czech Republic, you have to pay for the roads by purchasing a sticker. The rest of the European motorway fees must be paid along the way, through the terminals directly on the roads.
Step 2
Take out insurance: make a green card for a car and a medical policy for an overseas trip for each passenger. You should have an approximate travel route, besides, a satellite navigator will not interfere. To travel to Europe by car from Moscow, you need to visit Belarus. The border between Belarus and Poland is located near Brest. From Poland you can travel to Bavaria, then travel to the Czech Republic and return to Russia again via Poland and Belarus. If you go to Europe on your own, you can freely choose any stopping points.

If you decide to travel to Europe with your car, take care of the comfort while traveling. Don't take many passengers. Traveling together, you can not only perfectly accommodate your luggage, but also relax by reclining your seats, for example, while waiting in line at the border with Poland for a long time. Get a thermos, portable refrigerator, a small supply of non-perishable food, small pillows, and a couple of blankets. Bring a change of comfortable shoes in which you will be comfortable for a long time on the road. Remember that you will have to travel a lot, sometimes you will have to travel almost all day, especially if the travel time is limited, and you want to see a lot.

It is not necessary to take Belarusian rubles, euros, zlotys and Czech crowns with you. At any ATM in each country, you can withdraw the required amount in the appropriate currency. Some banks offer quite favorable exchange rates, so you will also save money. By paying with a card, you can additionally avoid the commission for withdrawing cash at a bank that is not native to the credit card.
