Depends on when you're going, and if you're a cold/warm sleeper. Pick a few places along your route and look up the average nightly lows for that month. If you're a cold sleeper like I am, take the lows and subtract 10-15 degrees from that low, and that will give you a good idea of the bag you should have. If it varies wildly because you'll be in mountains part of the time, and the rest of the time in a temperate zone, you might consider bringing a 25-40 degree bag and a sleeping bag liner. For cold nights you can use the two together, and at the opposite end you can just use the liner if it's warm out.

I think a 15 degree bag is the most versatile range for 3 season outdoor use. I think it would do well if you are spending time camping outdoors, but if you are going to be hitting hostels and using it more as an indoor bag, I think something in the 30-40 degree range would be more comfortable and also save you space and weight. Hope this helps

A fifteen degree bag can be used in all but the coldest & warmest temperatures. The Blue Kazoo will work great for lower elevation, light winter temperatures in southern Europe & you can ventilate it well for the rest of the year. A 15 or 20 degree down sleeping bag is designed for three season tent camping in the US.
