Hi!

I would calculate like this:

- 20 Euro per day for accomodation in hostel; 5€ for a seat in an overnight train, 15-20€ for a couchette in an overnight train; note that there are not night trains on every leg of your route, it only makes sense to travel Budapest - Praha and Bern - Vienna overnight.
- 10 Euro for food per day...can be less if you are fine with simple meals or supermarket stuff, can be more if you want to eat out in a finer restaurant
- 5-10 Euro for other stuff, depends on you: Going out in the evening can be more expensive, going to museums etc...

So overall ~35€ per day...a lot depends on you: How much are you willing to spend? You can live a lot cheaper if you are fine with that but it is also possible to spend more.

Hi!

I suppose you are travelling with a 5in10 InterRail pass, right? Then you need 4 travel days for your trip and can use the remaining fifth travel day for your way either from Romania to Budapest or from Vienna to Romania.

- 169€ InterRail pass
- :?: € for ticket Romania - Budapest or Vienna - Budapest
- 6€ for reservations when going to/from Romania; if you dont go with night trains you dont need any further reservations on your trip
- :?: € if you choose to use a night train; for prices check at the country boards
- 200€ accomodation
- 100-150€ for food, stuff, etc...

So you will total at about 500-550€...but remember that this is only a calculation and you can certainly live a little cheaper if you want to. In the end it depends on you... ;)
