Start from investing every month set amount of money into ETFs.

As you are from Europe, one of the best to start, would be Vanguard FTSE All-World ETF, or in short WVCE. I am mostly investing into it for my retirement.

If you want to feel the market more, you can buy some individual stocks, starting from blue chip ones, or if you want to gamble a bit more, you can take a look at crypto or small cap stocks.

As for platforms/brokers, there are couple of most popular in Europe: Degiro or IBKR. I myself use IBKR for stocks and ETFs.

When somebody asks for good and safe investments maybe don't recommend crypto?
In the UK I think that etf is called VWRP or VWRL. One is distributing and one is accumulating, no idea what that means though
distributing means pays out dividends, accumulating reinvests dividends. If you don't care about being paid out an income accumulating is simpler.
