camping car 9 place image
Giuliana
Wondering how much it would cost for plane tickets, eating out, hotels, and renting cars and all that if my family and I were to travel Spain, Italy, France and Germany? Possibly the UK also. An estimated price of how much you think it would cost? Its just me my mom and dad. THANK YOU!
Answer
The actual price will depend on where you're starting from, exactly when you come to Europe, the kinds of places you stay in, how you get around and what you see, do and eat. Generally, you can get by for around $100 (plus airfare) staying in cheap hostels and watching your budget. However, if you're with you family, you'll probably be in hotels rather than hostels and that will be more expensive. I generally spend around 100 to 150 euro per night for the places I stay. There are usually s little cheaper budget options. Here are some resources that can help you plan and check options and current prices for your trip:
http://www.kayak.com/ - airfares & hotels; the explore function is useful for finding the less expensive places to fly into from your starting point.
http://www.skyscanner.it/ - particularly good for budget flights within Europe, but you can also use everywhere as a destination to do something like the explore option on Kayak. You may not need the airfares, but you can compare to the cost of the trains to get around.
http://www.seat61.com/ - a great train site with details about railpasses. It can be cheaper to buy individual tickets than passes. This site will tell you how to determine whether you're better off with a railpass or individual tickets or some combination for your trip. It also details how to use the pass and what to avoid to get the best use out of a pass. Most high speed, international and night trains require reservations and will require you to pay a supplement when you use a railpass. You need to be aware that a railpass is almost always more expensive for trains here if you're going to exclusively travel in Italy. Trains are an excellent way to get around here. If you want cars, check sites like Avis, Europcar, Sixt. Be aware that drop off fees can be high if you rent a car in one crountry and leave it in another. You also need to know that you would need to buy a tax sticker for the windshield before driving on an autobahn in either Austria or Switzerland.
http://www.venere.com/ - hotels/B&Bs - prices for the same hotel can vary hugely depending on the season and what local events are going on.
http://www.hostelbookers.com/ - hostels.
http://www.monasterystays.com/ - monasteries & convents that offer accommodations
You can also look into camping or couch surfing as cheaper alternatives for accommodations.

For sightseeing prices: check the websites for entrance fees for the museums & galleries you're interested in. I spend anywhere between nothing and 40 euro ($49) a day depending on exactly what I go to see when out exploring. For food, I spend around 25 to 50 euro ($31 to $62) for a meal, but you can eat for less. I was in Venice recently and paid 32 euro for lunch at Da Raffaele sitting at a canal side table with the gondolas passing by. Here in Italy, You can get a whole pizza for 8 to 13 euro ($10 - $16) or a pasta dish in the same range. Panini or pizza by the slice is less. For reference, a McDonalds McMenu classico (medium) is going for around 7.50 euro ($9.24). While you can eat cheaply most of the time, I would recommend getting a good local meal from time to time; that's part of the overall experience that it would be a shame to miss. When I travel, I like to try the local specialties and the good restaurants. Try the saltimboca or a pasta Cacio e Pepe in Rome.
