So I'm going to Italy for a class and then I'm planing on traveling around for a little while afterwords in the month of August. I'll probably stay mainly in Italy, but I would like to go to Greece and maybe visit my cousins in France. I've never done something like this so I really could use some help with my trip. Is there some guide for people for backpacking in Europe? What are just some overall recommendations on traveling like this? [more inside]

Our family: 2 adults; one young adult. We all have limited travel experience in Europe. Our budget: 6,000 bucks or so. Our rough plan: Get a taste of the best of Europe without running ourselves ragged. Experienced European Travelers: If you had this time, this money, this background, where would you go and what would you see? Where would you fly into/out of? How would you get from place to place? Any/all suggestions much appreciated!

I'm currently backpacking through Europe and was given an invitation to Oktoberfest for this Friday. I'm really excited about this, but can't seem to find any places to stay that aren't booked or very expensive. I'd like to spend Friday and Saturday night there, giving me the opportunity to see the rest of Munich. What are my options in the area to find a place to sleep? Are there non-hostel options or perhaps one that isn't well known?
