Wow! What a trip. In just over one week we travelled nearly 2000 km and visited 13 hackerspaces in 10 different cities in Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. However that was only the tip of the iceberg — there were dozens more hackerspaces in the area, and we wish we had the time to visit them all! The hospitality of the hackerspaces was amazing. Thank you so much to all the spaces we visited! If you missed some of tours, you can see the them all here.

Did you enjoy these tours? Is there anything you’d like to see more of? The style of the tour? Other things to focus on? Let us know in the comments!
Great articles – it could be cool if a comparison could be drawn between American and European hackerspaces. Well, if there is a difference at all :)
Yes, that would be quite interesting. It’s fun to read about hackerspaces over here and over there, but I can’t compare them, having never been on the other side of the pond.
Not a single visit in France ?
We have some great hacker space too :)
please have u got some adress/name, very interressed to visit them.

You can find them all here! http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_ALL_Hacker_Spaces =)
Thanks for coming over, we enjoyed it a lot even if it was a short visit! And the article is totally, utterly awesome.
So did we! We can’t thank you enough for having us, we’re so glad we made it out to Hack42!
Isn’t England in Europe? We have those too!
Dude, you’re a bit late. There were limits set quite early on.
See this posting maybe?
Next time you’re in the area come and check out the London Hackspace!
Great to have you James!
You might want to have a look at this video before referencing The Netherlands as Holland. ;)

Darn I thought I fixed all of those!
Oh, I thought The Netherlands WAS Holland!
The hackerspace Euro tour was fantastic! I’d love to see maybe a database/ map of hackerspaces, worldwide. This could make it easier for people to find a hackerspace in their local area. Maybe have profiles, too?
May I introduce you to the Hackerspaces.org Wiki?

Alright, fair enough. :)
Next time you should also come over to Vienna and visit the metalab!
basically he went to holland and got stoned. =p
Projection.
Basically, he went to the Netherlands, and Belgium and Germany, and drank Club Mate.
I second the call to come to metalab in Vienna – most definitely a great place to get your hack on!
It was a nice serie of great articles, thanks to all hackerspace owners to share your space with us !
I didn’t read all of the articles, but I did enjoy the ones I did read!
