A candid Instagram video by an Indian tourist has gone viral, sparking a discussion about what it's really like to travel in Europe during summer.

His blunt advice to fellow travellers? 'Mat aao Europe' – don't visit Europe in the summer.
The struggle of Europe's summer heat
In the now-viral video, Bulbul expresses his discomfort while travelling through different cities in Europe, pointing out how tough it can be to explore during the peak summer heat. Right at the start, he delivers a clear message for anyone planning a European summer getaway: 'Bahut garmi hai. Jo log bhi Europe aana chahte hain ghoomne, please mat aao' (It's way too hot here.
Those planning to visit Europe, please don't).
Watch the viral video here:
What bothers him the most? The absence of basic cooling facilities in many European hotels and rentals. Even with steep accommodation costs, he says it's common to find places without air conditioning– or even a fan– making it nearly impossible for tourists to deal with the scorching heat.
Small rooms, high prices: The discomforts of travel
Bulbul also takes issue with the size and pricing of hotel rooms, calling them 'dabbe jaise chhote chhote kamre hain yahan par vo bhi itne mehengey' (The rooms are so small like boxes and still very expensive).
The video also touches on the lack of basic amenities for travelers, with Bulbul explaining that even staying hydrated in the heat is a challenge. He warns that a small bottle of water can cost anywhere between 2 to 2.5 euros (around ₹200–₹250), adding another layer to the frustration.
Mixed reactions from viewers
Since Bulbul's video went viral, it has sparked a flood of responses from viewers online, with people expressing both agreement and disagreement.

Some users agreed with Bulbul's take on summer travel, recounting their own frustrating experiences in European cities. One user commented, 'He is absolutely right. Majority of cafés and restaurants didn't even have fans, let alone AC. Not a good idea to visit during summer.
Even the cheapest hotel in India has a fan or a cooler.'
Similarly, another user shared their experience, 'My daughter lives in Germany... she says the same.
She bought a fan and an air cooler.'
However, not all viewers felt the same way. Some defended the European summer experience, asserting that Europe, in fact, offers plenty of comfort even in the heat. 'I don't know which part of Europe you went to. No doubt it's warm, but there are ACs on the trains, trams, buses, and in hotels. It's beautiful. Don't spread rumours. I was there last week, and it was amazing,' a user pointed out.
