Europe budgets vary massively by country mix, season and city choice. First-time travellers often overspend by moving too quickly between too many cities.
What shapes the budget
Flights, visa, internal trains or flights and hotel location are the most important budget factors.
Daily food and attraction costs matter, but routing mistakes usually cost more.
Best way to control spend
Limit the number of countries, travel in shoulder months and stay near transport instead of chasing city-centre luxury.
Package vs DIY
Packages work well for first-time travellers who want fewer moving parts and a more predictable spend.
