Next to Coinbase, i also recommend using Changelly to buy your Bitcoins or any other crypto coins you need.

Simply go to https://changelly.com.
(1) Click on " Buy "
(2) Choose Euro/Dollar & Choose what coin to buy
(3) Fill amount in Euro/Dollar

Click " Buy Now " and follow the given instructions

Be aware, for this method, you'll need to have your crypto wallet ready. For example: You buy from Changelly and let them send the Bitcoins to your existing Bitcoin wallet. One of the recommended softwares for crypto wallet: Jaxx or Exodus.

Thanks @FiyiK for above tutorial, might be really helpful especially for crypto rookies !

Just one remark from me to keep all informed and just a hint: first choice should be coinbase !
If you can't handle coinbase due to any reason, changelly might be an alternative but keep in mind, changelly takes huge fees, around 10% more than coinbase.
Therefore it's recommended to use coinbase with first priority
