Overall Cost Of Interrailing

Wreckreational

This question hasnt really been answered but what would people reckon would be the overall cost of this interrail trip, roughly. its my first time interrailing so im not really sure of cost; have made a rough guess but im not sure whether I've either massively overestimated or underestimated...

roughly 2 weeks
...
Start in Switzerland
Zurich (flights roughly 80 euro)
and finish maybe in Nice (80ish euro again)

Would be looking to spend a week in Switz - Bern, Interlaken, Lugano
followed by a week in Italy - Florence, Venice, Rome, Turin etc.
Staying mainly in hostels.

I've made a rough guess at 2,300euro for this. Is this too much/too little?

Has anyone done a similar trip with any info? Maybe if people could give me a rough idea of the TOTAL cost of their trips; preferably in Swiss/Italy but if thats not possible then anywhere in Europe.

Thanks, Wreck

i done 2 1/2 weeks last summer.....started in Rome>Florence>Venice>Munich. It costs roughly €900 including flights. 7 places in 2 weeks is difficult enough, you'd need to be spending atleast 3 days in most of them towns.

800euro on accom/food, 130euro on flights, 340euro on interrail ticket = around 1200 for 2 weeks.

Barcelona>Marseilles>Milan>Bern>Munich>Dusseldorf>Amsterdam.

i went interrailin for close to 2 months and spent 3g's,so you should be grand :cool:

Wreckreational

nice one, thanks.
i hear Switz is really expensive but do you think I'd be ok for the two weeks on 1300-1600?

Kid Nothing

yeah Switzerland is dear enough but about the same as Dublin! You'll be grand with €1300

Wreckreational

great thanks for your help

You should cut it down to 3-4 citys and just buy train tickets at the train station to the next location. And it shouldnt cost more than 2K

Furthermore to that question how would one need when going for a month?

Id think about 50-60 euro a day would be ok, incl. hostels, food, touristy things like city tours so for a month surely about 2 grand would be enough??

Anyone think I would get away going Interrailing for a month with around €400, I have the ticket already for thet train and flights over, would it be possible to sleep rough for a while and spend the bare minimum on food and drink. Starting in Amsterdam going up towards Berlin and back doen towards the Prague direction. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would say no not a chance, unless you are planning on doing a roma gypsy job on it and moving to other countries to live on roundabouts and what not, begging in traffic and that

A hostel alone in places like Amsterdam can easily cost €25 a night or more, your budget of around €13 a day would barely be enough for food

Living rough in a lot of these places (especially Amsterdam in my experiences would be dangerous and stupid)

i would disagree with the person who has prebooked everything hostelwise-personaly i dont think thats the best way to enjoy interrailing-book your 1st hostel and have a rough plan done-but apart from that be flexible by a day or two in each place and dont tie yourself down too much-youl meet great people and see great places along the way so thats why i say dont tie yourself down-book your 1st hostel grand-but what we used to do was before we left each city we would book the hostel in the next city-hostel arent realy like hotels where the price changes the later you book them

in relation to the price-i went from amsterdam,berlin,krakow,prague,budapest,dubrovnik,ljubiana,lake bled,venice and then rome

-my budget was exactly 50 euro per day(that paid for hostels,various activities and tours in each city and eating out for dinner and buying stuff to make sambos for lunch)
in amsterdam you will blow this (seen as some hostels cost 40 per night) but you make up for this in the cheaper places
we didnt splash out big time but we also didnt play it cheap-so you can spend what you want realy!
enjoy it!
