The World Cup Is Coming ⚽ Here’s Where to Go!
|
I don't know about you, but over here at The Broke Backpacker, 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for travel. Besides the potential collapse of the world as we know it, there is plenty to be excited about... If you're a football fan, though, there is probably ONE thing on your mind: the World Cup. This year, it happens across three massive countries and it's gonna be an incredible opportunity for travel-loving football fans. We decided to put together a helpful guide for you, and the only logical person to do this was Nic. Nic has seen football in about 40 different countries, and as you can see in the picture above, it's something that brings them immense joy. The thing is, this tournament is going to be massive, so navigating it might take a higher degree of planning than you're used to. It's the most ever teams, playing the most ever games, all happening across a total of 16 cities spread over a pretty vast stretch of land. It took a while, but we’ve put together a MASSIVE guide to travelling the World Cup this year, covering every host city. Inside, you’ll find the lowdown on where to stay, how to watch the game (with or without a ticket), and all the epic things to see and do in each place. So, without further ado, I present to you our mega-guide to planning a trip around the World Cup.
See ya! |

Busking is the act of performing in public places for tips: money, food,...
Albania is one of the last corners of Europe that feels largely untouched. It’s the kind of place that you hear whispers about. A place that lingers in the back of your mind. The history. The grit. The peaks... Ta-da! Dani has spent her whole life chasing ridgelines and summits. Growing up amongst the peaks of New Zealand, hiking has become part of her DNA. And I’ve never heard her talk about a place the way she talks about Albania. Home to multi-day treks between remote mountain villages,...
Pakistan is a country that will often have people raising their eyebrows. It's one of those places that is still largely misrepresented in Western media, which ends up creating division in the travel community. Real adventurers like you and me, though, we know what's good. I've been fortunate to have visited Pakistan countless times myself. This is probably not the first time you hear me rave about it either... I mean, cmon. And in one of my trips there, I met Samantha, an epic adventurer who...
