Never hiked before, but I'm studying in Europe from September to December and want to go on those crazy hikes I see online with the beautiful views. How do I start, and how to i spend this summer preparing?

I'm a 19-year-old guy, and I'd say I have an above-average fitness level. I do have a slight knee problem, but I've been doing physical therapy for a bit now, and it should be 100% fine in a month or so. I'm from Long Island, NY, so if anyone's around here, would you tell me where the best places to go are? I'm studying in Budapest but I plan to travel a lot, and I want at least a few of them to be backpacking/ hiking trips in nature. Would i have to do overnight hikes to get the best expierence? I'm very new to this so please lmk!
