First of all use extra cash to pay off the loan(s) you have. This will give you a guaranteed return of the interest rate charged; dependent on the type of loan this can be anywhere between 7% and 20%, which no investment can guarantee.
After that look into cheap funds, like already pointed out by NorfBank. Start by researching the types of funds that interest you, and dig into the underlying investments by reading the company annual reports.
Buying directly into shares is not really an option for you, as transaction fees for buy and sell will be about €8 each, and you won't be able to achieve enough diversification.
