Gap Year Trips & Tours
Travel your wayOur Gap Year Trip Style: Do Europe with Topdeck
Gap years were made for adventuring. And what better way to get out there and explore this amazing ol’ planet than by heading out with some of the best people you’ll ever meet on a city-hopping, bucket list-smashing Topdeck Gap Year trip through Europe?
We’ll stay in hostels. We’ll stay in Austrian Gasthofs. On the European Explorer trip, we’ll even stay on a yacht in Greece for a few nights. Sound like your kind of gap year? Then leave your comfort zone behind, pack your sense of adventure and come join us. It’s time to see the world – Topdeck style.
Gap Year Trips with Topdeck

Travel with people aged 17-20
Wanna do Europe with people your own age? We get it. Our Gap Year trips are for people aged 17-20 only – so whether you choose a long or short trip, you know you’ll be in awesome company. It’s actually kind of like uni. But on wheels.

Stay in Hostel Plus accommodation
We’re not usually ones to brag, but our multi-share Hostel Plus accommodation is pretty awesome. It's also easy on the wallet – so you’ll have plenty of cash left to spend on the fun stuff. Optional activity, anyone?

Get social with your trip mates
Shotgun your favourite bunk and prepare to do some serious bonding. Not only will you eat, sightsee and indulge in the odd activity or two with your fellow Topdeckers, you’ll also share comfy lads/ladies-only dorms.
