BONUS 2: Things to think about when planning your journey to Europe

Well, now that we completed this very complete 2 week Europe Itinerary, I feel it’s time so that you can actually begin fascinated with the logistic particulars of this journey (aside from all of the specifics I’ve already given you)

But, I do know a few of you might need to customise your journey in your finances and/or timeframe. So right here I’m going to present you all the additional particulars you could be keen on like get round all of the international locations, issues to pack with you, prices and stuff that you could be want always.

Transportation

As you’ve observed on this 2 Week Europe Itinerary I’ve largely added trains and planes, since they’re probably the most environment friendly methods to journey the lengthy distances between these cities.

But after all there are different choices like buses and renting vehicles and I’ll undergo each on this part so you may simply customise my itinerary to fit your wants!

By Train

One of the most effective methods to journey round throughout this Europe journey is by prepare. Of course there are occasions when this isn’t attainable or it takes too lengthy, however normally it’s a fantastic deal.

Depending on what you need to do you should buy particular person tickets for every vacation spot or get the Interrail/Eurail Pass. We’ve bought an entire put up on whether or not this cross is price it or not and I’d undoubtedly give it a very good learn earlier than deciding.

NOTE: It’s essential to know that these passes solely allow you to journey on sure trains, so it’s tremendous essential to verify on the prepare stations earlier than you hop on one. Usually the high-speed and in a single day trains require an additional price.

You can go on their official web site and plan your journey simply to see how a lot it could value you to get certainly one of their passes once you go to Central Europe and the opposite elements.  

Pros:

• Super comfy
• Usually take you within the metropolis middle
• You can save by shopping for a rail cross

Cons:

• Can take longer when it comes to journey size
• Tickets may be costly

By Plane

If you purchase your tickets early and from finances airways, you will get a really low-cost worth in your tickets.

For the two weeks in Europe itinerary that I’ve written above I’ve solely added airplane journey solely the place the gap could be too lengthy for trains.

The commonest finances airways are Ryanair and EasyJet. I fly with them more often than not at a good worth. 

PRO TIP: You can use Skyscanner to search out all of the offers and costs which you’ll be able to simply evaluate to search out the most affordable ones.  

NOTE: Make positive that you simply take into consideration the opposite taxes and baggage charges that you simply’ll need to pay. That’s why typically trains are extra handy, you don’t need to cope with any of that.

For this specific Europe itinerary, I’ve solely added 1 airplane experience, from Amsterdam to Venice. If you obtain your ticket prematurely that might value you round €100.  

Pros:

• Quickest when it comes to journey size
• Cheap tickets if you happen to journey solely with a stick with it

Cons:

• Airports are normally outdoors of town
• You need to arrive 2h early (wasted time)
• Last minute tickets are costly

By Car

If you’re a assured driver, have slightly extra time and also you don’t thoughts driving by means of the capital cities throughout this journey to Europe then renting a automotive could also be for you.

It’s undoubtedly extra comfy relating to baggage, house and suppleness. You can go away a spot everytime you need. Plus you may go to distinctive locations just like the Amalfi Coast by yourself!

However it’s tremendous essential to consider all of the little particulars. For instance most capital cities are normally fairly hectic and if you happen to’re not used to an setting like that, it might actually delay your schedule.

If you solely have 2 weeks and need to comply with this actual itinerary, the driving will more than likely take a whole lot of your time that you would spend visiting points of interest. That’s why I like to recommend solely renting a automotive in Italy for the above itinerary.

NOTE: You’ll in all probability need to pay an additional price if you happen to hire your automotive from a distinct location to the place you drop it off, and this price will likely be exponentially greater if the 2 places are in several international locations.

Pros:

• Great for flexibility (can go away once you need)
• Super comfy

Cons:

• Probably costlier
• Higher prices in case your drop off the automotive in a distinct nation
• Parking in small cities may be troublesome and costly

By Bus

Traveling by bus is the most affordable choice for this 2 week Europe journey, but it surely additionally takes the longest.

Most folks (together with myself) use Flixbus to get round as their tickets are fairly low-cost however there are many issues to think about.

Firstly, you’d need to journey at evening so that you gained’t waste full days (that you would spend visiting points of interest). That would additionally imply you’d be fairly drained the following day to do something, so take into consideration that as nicely.

Pros:

• Super reasonably priced bus tickets
• Get to see the countryside whereas transiting

Cons:

• Many hours wasted on touring
• Not very comfy

Money

The 2 currencies that you simply’ll want for this journey are kilos (for London) and euros (for in all places else)

In most locations it’s best to have the ability to pay by card, nonetheless I’d at all times carry money with me simply in case you want it for small purchases or locations that don’t settle for playing cards, tipping, or emergencies. If you’re planning on primarily utilizing your bank card, I feel €50 and £20 in money must be sufficient to carry as a begin after which if you happen to want extra you should use the ATM to withdraw money.

NOTE: Visa and Mastercards are normally accepted in all places they’ve card services however know that American Express is much less accepted so in case you have one then I’d advocate bringing one other Visa or Mastercard with you or additional money.

As I discussed, you may at all times withdraw cash from the ATMs, nonetheless do not forget that more often than not that might indicate a price, so having some money with you’ll enable you in any circumstances once you go to Europe.

PRO TIP: If you want to withdraw cash whereas in Europe, attempt to use the ATMs that are connected to the surface of banks wherever attainable. Many of the ATMs that you simply discover standing alone in locations like comfort shops will cost even greater charges for withdrawing cash.

Cost of a 2 week journey in Europe

I do know lots of it would be best to know the way a lot cash you want to see all these vacationer locations!

So I’ve made a tough calculation of how a lot you’d pay on common for 2 folks for transportation between every metropolis, mid-range inns in every location, meals finances for every day plus some points of interest that you simply’d see to present you an thought.

• Mid-price inns: 14 nights x €140 per evening = €1,960
• Transportation (trains & planes): from €240 per individual = €480
• Tuscany & Pompeii Day Tours: €194 per individual = €388
• Food finances: 14 days x €60 per individual = €1,680
• ~5 points of interest per metropolis x 2 folks = €800

Total prices for two folks: €1,960 + €480 + €388 + €1,680 + €800 = €5,308

€5,308 ÷ 14 = €380 per day for two folks
