The expenses for the 56 most popular cities in Europe were calculated. The prices for most necessities such as hostels, transportation, and attractions are fixed and predetermined. However, the cost of a budget-conscious lunch or a pint of beer may fluctuate. The prices encompass the following expenses:
- A night’s stay in the most economical bunk at a well-located hostel with positive reviews.
- Two daily rides on public transportation.
- One paid/famous attraction daily (calculated based on the average expense of a major attraction in each city for each day).
- Three affordable meals per day (with a minimum meal price of 20%).
- Three servings of inexpensive beers or glasses of wine per day as an amusement allowance. Non-drinkers may opt for dessert and coffee or attend a local music performance instead.
- To economize on alcohol and food while backpacking in Europe, consider visiting bars and pubs during their discounted hours.
- Utilize public transportation. Take trains whenever possible or opt for buses, although buses tend to have longer travel times.
