I’m planning on going as long as my money will take me. How much would you recommend for a 1-2 month trip?
Everytime I plan out my trip I plan for at least 3000, but ive never done it
1,000.000 Roubles’ Or $590.000.00 Canadian You Have to buy the country.
1-2 grand depending on how u eat and wat ur going to europe to see
Now that’s something i’ve always wanted to do. You’re so lucky. But, you shouldn’t use cash, maybe travelers checks or credit cards? They would be safer.
If you can arrange 10,000$ or more Ican think about that .
It depends on how you plan to move and live there for that time. I can travel for just $10 a day… ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD… but I know how to travel and I speak 4 languages, so I don’t need to go just in the tourist areas to eat or stay.
$1000 a month will do you quite nicely… less if you know how to travel. It’s a very subjective thing… and no 2 people travel the same way.
2000 if your planing on having a good time recommended
It depends of course on what you will be doing and where you plan to sleep. Basically on a shoestring budget you can sleep for $50/night or less but you have to reserve ahead. How do you plan to eat? Food will cost you a minimum of $20/day if you stay in a BB(breakfast included).
Train tickets etc add up fast when you are backpacking and if you drink beer or stronger that can also make a big difference. Based on my calculations from personal experiences $3,000/month will be enough but you need to budget closely.
TIP: If you plan to call home buy small denomination phone cards in each country. They are cheapest that way.
Have a great time!
Calculate $55-$70 a day for food, lodging ect.
2500 $. The cost of living in the Eastern European countries is cheaper than in Western Europe.Only Moscow is very expensive place.
To be safe I would recommend $ 60-80 /day. Eastern Europe is not any cheaper than the west.Especially now days $-euro exchange rate is not helping at all. Just came back from a month trip in summer. Austria -Hungary-Slovakia-Croatia
i did it… im from canada and in 2 months $4000 was just enough to get me home lol i would take $5-6000 to be on the safe side!
im doing a 2 month back pack of europe as well starting in london in 2010…based on research im bringing 4000$ US to acount for food + drinks. add a plane ticket and a eurotrain pass and your looking at 6000-7000$ but this will supposedly do you quite fine if your like me and look for mom and pop places to eat and cheaper, local spots to hang out. also it is much cheaper to go with a couple of freinds, splitting a train pass thats shared with 2-5 people will cut costs into 3rds in my case. it all depends on how lavish you wanna live for 2 months
