Stop guessing where you can legally park your van for the night. This guide gives you city-by-city overnight rules, discreet sleeping spots, and day-by-day routines for 40 destinations across Europe, so you spend less time stressing about parking and more time actually living the van life.
WHAT YOU GET
Real, city-specific answers to the questions every van lifer asks: Where can I sleep tonight without a fine or a knock on the window? Where do I park during the day so I am not stuck walking for miles? How do I fit in like a local instead of standing out as "that van"? Each chapter breaks down parking windows, overnight rules, neighborhood picks, packing checklists, budget numbers, common mistakes, and the exact apps and tools that make each city easier.
