3 Month europe trip budget

Book Now Your Next Flight! I quit my job to travel for a year and started the first part of my trip in Europe. Briefly, what was your itinerary? I explored some countries thoroughly and city hopped a bit as well.

Czech Republic: Prague.

Poland: Krakow, Zakopane, Tatra National Park. Portugal : Lisbon, Sintra, Porto. Spain : Seville, Barcelona, Sitges. It’s true that the continent definitely isn’t the cheapest in the worl but here’s the good news: it can be done on a modest budget.

Here’s how much our Europe trip cost, including a breakdown of transport, foo activity and accommodation prices. Looking for more travel cost posts? See full list on ourbigfattraveladventure.

For this trip, we found a nine-night housesit in the Algarvelooking after dogs and pigs. We stayed in a beautiful converted barn house in the countryside and fell in love with the animals, the sit also saved us a couple of hundred pounds in accommodation. Aside from housesitting, we found Europe accommodation was cheapest on Airbnb (if you haven’t yet signed up, here’s £off your first booking).

We used Airbnb throughout our trip, as cheap hotels in Europe are hard to fin although we did start to wonder about the ethics of using the website, especially when renting apartments. Mostly we rented spare rooms in people’s homes, but when we were staying in Porto and Prague, we rented whole apartments. Since we mostly stayed in apartments, we were able to keep our food costs pretty low by shopping at supermarkets and cooking our food at home. On travel days we didn’t eat all that healthily, we mostly ate snacks en route and then bread and hummus when we arrived somewhere for the night. Just before the trip, we transitioned to a vegan diet, which we feared might be a problem, but we actually managed to find plenty of options in the supermarkets (Prague was especially good).

Here’s a typical grocery haul from Tesco in Prague, which cost £20. We did eat out a few times on our Europe trip, especially when our families visited us in Prague or we hung out with friends in Porto, also in the few Airbnb stops where we didn’t have a kitchen. As always, we check Tripadvisor to find a decent vegan places to eat out. Here’s a vegan burger from one of our favourite discoveries, Vegan’s Prague, which cost £for two meals.

Here are some example meal prices: at Lehka Hlava, Prague, we had their. We deliberated quite a bit about the best way to travel Europe, should we fly and hire a car, should we use public transport, or should we buy a car and take it with us? Eventually we decided that the best way for us to travel around Europe was in our own car.

Our insurance policy allowed days of use outside of the UK, so that really determined the length of our trip. Things like insurance, vehicle tax and fuel will really depend on the car, the way you drive and your car insurance history. Mostly all our sightseeing was free, including hiking and wandering around cities. We took ‘free’ walking tours, where you pay a tip rather than a fixed fee, in Amsterdam, Sloveniaand Prague, which we paid between €5-each for.

The only miscellaneous Europe travel costs we had were for some new clothes, as we bought a couple of jumpers and some jeans while we were in Porto. So, can you travel Europe on a budget? The answer’s yes, depending on what you define as budget. We were pleased with all the amazing places we saw and had some incredible experiences, especially at the excellent Christmas markets. Did we travel around Europe on a budget you could use?

This is a fine itinerary if you don’t have a tight time schedule, and want to get off the grid. This area has amazing beaches and culture, but the ferries can be irregular. By the time I was ready to leave for my trip , I had enough money saved.

There are just too many variables. To be honest, I’ve never spent the above “average” cost during any of my trips to Europe. It’s really not that difficult to save money while in Europe, but I wanted to give you an average estimate.

My estimates are based on two people travelling together and splitting costs, so expect to pay more if you’re going solo. Airfare – I like to estimate $9as the average price of airfare to Europe from Toronto. During the off-season, I’ve seen flights to Amsterdam and Dublin in the mid $600’s (I just booked a roundtrip to Lisbon fr $550).

Being fully flexible is the best way to find cheap flights. Hotels – For those who think $1is expensive, I would argue that it’s on the cheaper end. However, there are a few other tricks you can use to save.

The reality is, hotels are expensive these days, so getting one for $1(€105) a night is a pretty good deal. Brand name chains will cost more, so look for independent operators if price is your biggest concern. Food – My estimate of $a day is a subjective estimate. That works out to $per person per day which some people will think is too much while others will think it’s too low.

If you decide to go that. I also go to grocery stores to get breakfast and snacks which I find saves me a lot of money. That being sai since I love to eat, I don’t mind spending more when I see something I want. Attractions – This is where things can get tricky. Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe without question.

Tour Prague Castle , one of Europe ’s most stunning castles. Take a photo at the John Lennon wall. Sip on beer with any of your. So read on to discover my ideal Eastern European itineraries that will show you how to see the best of this region for less. Continue reading and you will get the idea.

That’s a great location to travel around Europe because it’s right in the centre. I was a bit worried I wouldn’t have enough for my hiking photography themed travel adventure. What -cities can you suggest.

You rock your blog rocks. Mostly do sightseeing, eat from grocery stores, staying at budget Airbnb or hostels, Do free stuff as possible. I budget for €5per week when we are touring as opposed to being on a static site. We are a family of and we are not wealthy.

We live on a tight budget. Europe is a destination where you can have a backpacking trip , a budget trip or a luxury trip. As someone who's done both a circuit trip of Europe and more focused trips, here's my two cents: - Your itinerary is still whirlwin far too whirlwind for my taste.

The possibilities are endless. We usually have a car for some of the trip and trains for some. London is a great place to start your one month Europe trip.

Heathrow is Europe ’s biggest airport, and it is really easy to reach from almost anywhere in the world. From the airport, you can easily get to the city centre via rail or coach links, where the hostels are located.
