Trip around Europe.?

Question

Me and my family are planing to travel to Europe in about 3 years. So We would like to visit, Spain, Italy, France, England. and posibly others like Gernamy, Viena Etc.

So If you have had an experience like this can you give me details?

I am interested about the cost of tours like this, for four people. My mom when a while ago, she sold her car and it was enough to visit almost everywhere with a group. though, I understand that since the creation of the Euro now things are more expensive, so... yeah.... All answers are welcomed. thanks.

Answer 1

It was not the creation of the Euro, it is the exchange rate between the Dollar and Euro, that made it so expensive.
I advise you to buy a good guidebook and work out your budget from that.
If you get a Lonely Planet guide covering most of the countries you are interested in, it will give prices for hotels and hostels, restaurants and sights and museums, travel to and in towns.
You can work out what a journey would have cost you then, you can than work it out for now.
I think you should add 25% a year for the years between publishing and now, and at least 15% a year for the years between now and when you want to travel.
Of course, the Dollar - Euro situation may change again, to the better for you, in that case you will have extra money to spend.
But if the Dollar keeps going down, you may need to count 25% extra per year.

It was in the newspaper recently that the average tourist spends 200 euro a day when staying in the Netherlands. I normally budget 100 Euro per day for myself, traveling alone, and some people can still travel for less than 50 Euro per day.
On top of that comes the intercontinental flight.

Packet tours are mostly more costly than what you would spend when traveling by yourself, but they do give a good indication what a travel will cost.
(I can mostly travel a bit slower than what they do, covering the same area in 25% more time for a little less than there all inclusive price, while they count on you having pocket money too, which for me is part of the budget.)
And the big travel companies make sure the prices are correct because they do want to make a profit, not to loose on the trip.

Answer 2

well, the euro isn't as bad as the pound, which is really terrible. if it's the same way in 3 years, if you want to save $, you should probably not spend tooo much time in the UK.
you can usually get 17% back on your hotel and other things you buy b/c of the VAT too...
learn how to use the subways, since cabs get super expensive.
be sure to bring your college or high school ID since admission rates can be cheaper for students (and for senior citizens/young children)

Answer 3

i bypass to eire and germany lots, love 'em the two. Get around by ability of practice. you may get ferries from eire directly to france, or by ability of england. i could tighten your concentration, incredibly of working in all places. i think of it incredibly is greater effective to confirm greater of much less, than to be continuously flying around, yet it incredibly is merely me. The west of eire is terrific. maximum irish, wildest, maximum beautiful. merely hug the coast impressive to backside, it varies the entire way and is all advantageous, esp. cork, galway, clare, kerry, to me. i like everywhere in germany, however the rhine and mosel rivers are specific. look at aer lingus, was low priced, yet now i've got stumbled on air berlin has magnificent expenses from ingredient to ingredient to germany from US.
