Hi i am going traveling around europe this summer with my girlfriend. We are planning on bringing 2000 each,we are going to stay in hostels and sleep while traveling in night trains,eat as much as we can from supermarkets but will also want to see as much sites as we can and do some activies like bugee jumping in greece! we are planning about 40/45 days travel and have already purchased our montly travel pass...starting in amsterdam and going east stopping in about 10 countries including a week in italy(most countries are eastern european). So wel be living off roughly 45/50 euro a day is this realistic?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated :D thanks

Hi!

That will be enough easily.

Hostel (biggest fraction usually): ~25 Euro (Amsterdam)...will be cheaper in Eastern Europe
Leaves you with enough money for sightseeing, going out etc...especially if you cook on your own.

Hi,

I am planning on travelling around europe for a month in July with 3 of my mates. Its our first time and we plan on starting in Amsterdam and travelling through the eastern countries of europe.

Do you have any idea on how much we would be looking at needing to bring each for the trip?

Thanks, Ross

Hi Ross...

Just do the calculation this way...

Costs per person per day:

- accommodation: ~ EUR 25 | in Eastern Europe you might get a bed in a dorm for EUR 15) - check the website: [ux]https://rail.shop/hostelworld[/ux]
- food: EUR 5 | use your own camping stove, will save you a lot of money - often hostels have as well kitchen
- beer: EUR 5
- extras: EUR 5

In total per person per day: EUR 30-40 (depends on you if you like beer or not, if you like high quality hostels or not ... it's only as an example)

Total costs per person for a 20 day trip: 20 days X 30 EUR = 600 EUR + ticket

Have fun planing your trip.
Peter :)
