How much would a 3 month trip through Europe cost for two?

• Me and my other half are planning a 3 month trip through Europe for the summer of 2013 when we both finish school and i would like an estimation of how much it would cost and best places to go and see. thank you for your time

• Answer:

  Prices two years in advance are not very predicatble. It will depend a lot on exactly where you go, when you go, how you get around, what you see, do and eat, the types of places you stay, etc. However, count on $100 per day plus the airfare (per person). These links should get you started on finding current prices to refine the estimate for a trip now: Just as a reference for airfare, I flew round trip between Denver and northern Italy a few days go for around $900 and this is the off-peak season. Obviously, prices depend on exactly where you start and where you fly into as well as the travel dates. trains & railpasses: http://www.seat61.com/ This site has a huge amount of information including links to the various national railroad sites where you can check schedules and price individual prices. It also covers rail passes in depth. airfares: http://www.kayak.com/flights budget flights in Europe: http://www.skyscanner.it/ , http://www.whichbudget.com/ hostels: http://www.hostelbookers.com/guide/weste%E2%80%A6 monastery/convent stays: http://www.monasterystays.com/ hotels: http://www.venere.com/ general advice: http://www.backpackeurope.com/tips/ I generally count on spending 25 to 50 euro for myself when I go out exploring here (for a full meal). Of course, you can eat well for less (or a lot more). You can get a pizza here in Italy for 8 to 13 euro. Pizza by the slice or a panino could be in the 3.50 to 6 euro range. For comparison sake, a McDonalds McMenu meal (medium size) is around 6.50 to 8 euro - I don't suggest that you actually eat there, but it will give you an idea of prices here vs there. Souvenirs are totally up to you - set a budget and stick to it. Other places in Europe might vary some, but aren't really all that different since there are a wide range of prices in any area. You can find entrance prices for museums and other tourist attractions on their websites.
