• How much does it cost to travel 5 countries of Europe in 3 weeks? Ok, so my best friend and I are wanting to go to Europe for 2-3 weeks in the next year or so. And we need to know how much it will cost to go from Ireland...London....France.....Italy....… All expenses paid. Such as: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner; travel; hotels; souvenirs; extra spending money..? In order to go we have to save money, and we need to go there without the chance on not being able to come back properly.. And how much it would cost for each country??

• Answer:

  This is too general a question to give you a good answer to. especially guessing what prices will be like 4 years into the future. However, here are some tools you can use to price things for yourself as it is right now. It depends a lot on exactly where you're flying from, when you travel, where you go and how, what you see and do, where you stay, and how long the trip lasts. These links should get you started on finding current prices, you're likely to need a few thousand dollars each: 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. It is not usually a good idea to use rail passes in Italy because individual tickets will almost always be cheaper. trains in Italy: http://www.trenitalia.com/cms/v/index.js%E2%80%A6 airfares: http://www.kayak.com/flights hostels: http://www.hostelbookers.com/guide/weste%E2%80%A6 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). A pizza runs about 8 to 13 euro. Pizza by the slice or a panino is around 3 to 7 euro. 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 and extra spending are totally up to you - prices can range from a few euro to thousands of euro for a single item depending on what you buy. Set a budget for your discretionary spending and stick to it. You can find entrance prices for museums and other tourist attractions on their websites. For example, the Vatican Museums in Rome: http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/z-Info/M%E2%80%A6
