what's the lowest budget you would consider Interrailing on...? what's possible?
assuming your ticket is already paid for...
what is the lowest amount of spending money YOU would be prepared to feasibly do it on, and, conversely, what is the lowest you believe would be possible, regardless of whether or not you have the inclination...

I second this thread, I want to know. My friends are saying £600 including the ticket, about 6 countries, month long ticket with 22 days (£215 ish)
I think that's over the top...
I reckon you could do a month on £180

Honestly, you being serious ?
. Well I personally think thats too low, by the way Ihave not been yet myself but do want to in the future. Well would you want to last on such a low budget whislt travelling through a few countries ? I surely would not, thats for sure.Reply 5

I know of several hostels that are between £8-£10 a night, you could also consider camping...and eastern europe in particular is cheap.
It's all about being a student bum!

I've no idea how much you would need, but I have looked in to stuff like this a little bit before and £180 for a month is not a lot at all. Not if you want to do anything other than travelling, eating and sleeping....which would perhaps get a little annoying after a few days. You'd be in all these great places and not be able to do anything other eat basic food and walk around. And even then you'd be pushing it to be able to afford a place to stay and enough food....seriously pushing it.

I am just interested in hearing other peoples opinions, I realise there are no right or wrong answers as people want completly different things from their trip.
personally im not shocked by the guy who said £180, I mean I plan to take around double that, but this would still be considered a very low budget by many, and if i ended up with £180 I would still go.
but I am happy to sleep on trains where possible and I am not a massive drinker. I am happy to travel around spending a lot of time on my own with just a bag of something nice procured in Amsterdam, a couple of books by Kerouac and Burroughs and a rail timetable, to be honest.

But anyway the title was 'lowest budget' and that's what I could do it on. Personally, I don't mind roughing it a bit and I could easily camp for a month, if needed. Or even stay out all night and sleep on a train.
I'm planning on doing the whole thing for £500.

How exactly could you last for 22 days on £180?! Even if the hostels all charged your cheapest possible suggested price of £8, that would leave you with 18p a day for food. Not my idea of a holiday, personally.
Well travelling on my own would seem pretty risky to me. I personally would never do it and would be bored out my head. Well I plan to go interrailing in the sumer hopefully and plan to do as much as Europe as I can, but I want to save up a grand atleast anything on top is bonus, plus I have got a coupe of mates coming along aswell, so we can look after each other aswell as have a good time.

cool, would that be the 22 days or the full month? im gonna try for the full month on somewhere around £350-400 - I Dont mind roughing it a bit either, in a strange way I think it will add to the fun!

When I travel in Europe, I usually budget around 20 euros a day (not including accommodation). That's mainly just for food and city transport.

Okay I'm going for a week to Poland and my accomodation is £5 a night in a fairly decent apartment [with friends] and 200 cigarettes are the equivalent of £10 (according to my friend)...The food is apparently anywhere between £2-£20 a day depending on what you want. A pizza is £4.

I'm saving £1000 for the whole month, which leaves approx £30 a day to cover food, hostels, museums and booze.

Me too, perhaps slightly more. Have any of you guys booked for the summer? As the European football thingys is on in Austria/Switzerland, things might need booking sooner/be more expensive.

but that should only have an effect in Austria and Switzerland, right? you don't think it will have a kind of knock-on effect on other countries or anything?
