How much money do i need to travel around europe for a month?

How much money would I need saved up in order to travel in Europe for 1 month?

• I'm in college now, and I graduate in 2 years. After college before I try to find a job and start a career, I want to travel around Europe for around a month, but I'm not sure how much money I'm going to need saved up in order to do that? Does anyone have a rough estimate from experience how much it will cost. I'm wanting to go to places like Paris, London, Dublin, Rome, Athens, Venice.. etc. Thanks!

• Answer:

  The costs depend on exactly when you visit, where you visit, where you're coming from, how you get around, rather you stay in hotels, hostels or have other arrangements, and what you see/do/eat. Generally, I would count on a minimum of 75 to 100 euro per day (per person) using hostels plus airfare for the trip to Europe. Here are some resources that can help you plan and check current prices: http://www.kayak.com/ - airfares http://www.skyscanner.it/ - budget flights especially good within Europe. For longer trips, this can be a better option than the trains. http://www.seat61.com/ . For transportation, you'll want to look into whether a rail pass is better than individual train tickets for getting around. The site explains how to determine whether a pass is worth the money to you and if so which option to get. There are links to the national train sites where you can find schedules and prices of individual tickets. One of the best sites for planning schedules throughout most of Europe is the German train site: http://www.bahn.de/i/view/USA/en/index.s%E2%80%A6 site will also have information on supplements for the trains when using a railpass. http://www.venere.com/ - hotels - probably not useful for what you want, but there are some cheap hotels. http://www.hostelbookers.com/ - hostels. http://www.monasterystays.com/ - monasterys & convents that offer accommodations http://www.couchsurfing.org/ http://www.whatsonwhen.com/sisp/index.ht%E2%80%A6 - festivals, exhibitions and events http://www.backpackeurope.com/ - information & advice Check the websites for entrance fees for the museums & galleries you're interested in. I spend anywhere between nothing and 40 euro a day depending on exactly what I go to see when out exploring. I often spend 25 to 50 euro for a meal, but I like to try the local specialties and some of the better restaurants, but you can eat well for less. Here in Italy, a pizza is 8 to 13 euro and a panino or wrap is around 3 to 6.50 euro in many places. You can also shop in the markets and put some meals together for yourself.
