Ok Guys looking into going to Europe and will around $3500 when I get over there. In your opinions.. How far can this get me and How long will it last? I don't mine sleeping in multi-bed dorms and that kinda of thing and am not a big party type. Just want to see as much of Europe as I can and have great time doing it. You guys are the best! wootie

Hey BuddyLee, Great to have ya on the boards!!!

If thats 3500US that your talking about it should give you in the area of
2,884.23 EUR, whcih in the grad scope of things is pretty dam good!! I think if you budget for 70EUR a day will give you 41 Days of travel...not bad at all my friend. There will be ways to save money but also ways to go over budget, so ya need to factor that in aswell. You can cover alot of Europe in 41 days, and if you head over to Eastern Europe you $$$ will go even further!!!

thanks CD! 41 days is not bad at all! and I'm sure I could extended those out a little longer! maybe a full 2 months? would that be pushing it...

If you want to extend your trip longer than the 41 days, don't try to spend much time in England, Switzerland, and the Scandanavian countries. All of those are very expensive. Netherlands, Germany, France, and Austria fall in the mid-range price (about $70 US a day). The rest of Western Europe is pretty cheap such as Spain and Italy. If you go to Eastern Europe you will be able to stretch your trip by quite a bit. Budapest and parts of Prague are expensive by Eastern standards, but if you hit Poland, and the Baltics you can get by on very little a day, or live extremely well on the $70 a day budget (5 course meals, private rooms, plenty of site seeing)
