The cost of traveling Western Europe

The cost of traveling Western Europe -

Europe covers a vast area of ​​the world where the prices can vary greatly. For 20 euros you can get a private room in Greece. For 20 euros in Paris, you can take a 16person dorm room. You can eat for a few euros in Spain or Greece, but a sit-down menu in Italy will cost around 15 euros. So think about how you can be quite difficult for your trip to Europe budget. But let me share my experience and the prices that I saw recently.

I have now gone to Europe for four years, and I have visited many places. Europe is not cheap, but there are many ways to reduce costs. I recently went through Amsterdam, Greece, Italy and Hungary. In 59 days travel, I spent € 4317, which averages out to € 73.17 per day. These include a few flights, many a good meal, too many drinks on Ios, a few nights of private rooms (it was my birthday after all!) And some unexpected purchases (a jacket, a new iPhone charger, and new headphone) ,

Overall, I think moving for a budget traveler to Western Europe, this is a realistic daily budget. While may vary the cost of Eu-rope, from an average of the cheap and expensive countries. In Greece 40 euros or less can spend per day. In Italy and France, 70 € cut it, if you do not eat. In London the pound can eat into your wallet faster than you put money into it. Here are some general costs:

• Accommodation: In most western European countries expected 20-30 euros per night for a dorm room to pay. (Although in Greece and Spain, it is only 10 to 20 euros per night.) In Scandinavia expecting around 30-35 euros per night to pay. In England, Nightly rates are vary food costs as wild, as accommodation costs usually about 15-20 pounds
• Eating .:. Cheap fast food meals cost 6-8 euros, while restaurants meals will cost about 15-20 euros. Nicer farms will cost 30 euros or more. These can be enjoyed for a week cook for about 40-50 euros
• Transport :. The easiest way to get Europe is by train. The trains connect all the important part of Europe, and they are often very low. The high-speed trains, but can cost more than 100 euros.

For flights, expect around 50 euros to be paid if you book in advance. Transport in most cities is only 1-2 Euro
• activities :. start Most museums and tours at around 10 euros. It is cheaper, of course, in Eastern Europe. Full-day tours cost 30 to 50 euros. Prices vary dramatically by country, so it is difficult to give a good general costs for this budget item.

I 70 € the feeling is good planning budget, given the cost of food, drink, activities and transportation. I have had to manage on much less friends. Last year, I met people who got 50 Euro per day. They had a very tight budget that there was no food and limited sightseeing. I have a lot of people for 60 Euro per day do it seen that included a bit more food and a few more activities. Yes, on a tight budget, you can do it for less than 70 euros. However, under Budgeting is never a good idea. What if something happens, or you decide to do at the last minute a wine tour? Plan 70 € per day and have some piece of mind. They are not so much, but spend about budgeting can ensure you do not run out of money.
