So I'm getting ready to book everything for my one month trip to Europe, in October. My budget is going to be around $3,000 for the month long travel. I'm thinking about getting a 5 country rail pass. Here is what I have so far..I'm leaving this pretty open ended, because I don't really know what I'm interested in seeing, to be honest. I really just want to see what it's like to be in different countries. I think I will decide when to do stuff when I get there, even if it isn't the most efficient, I love the idea of being free to go and do what I want on the spot. That being said, here's what I'm thinking so far, please feel free to make suggestions.
-Start in London, spend a few nights there to get used to being in a different place
-Head to Amsterdam (leave when I feel like it
)
-Continue to Belguim
-Head down through Germany, visit a friend who is studying abroad, find some cool cities to visit (Note: I can't enter France, as it won't be on my Eurail pass)
-Go down to Switzerland, stay in Gimmelwald (Will it be too cold to hike in October?)
-Enter Italy, maybe stay in the Clinque Terre, but I would like to see Rome, Florence, and Venice if possible. It also depends on how much money I have left, as it's kind of expensive down there I've heard. (I'm budgeting $100 a day, can't go over that at all)
-Possibly go back up and see Eastern Germany and fly out of Berlin?
So that's what I've got for 4 weeks, I could possibly extend my trip and have a lower budget (If you guys think it's a good idea to live off of less than $100 per day)
Anyways, that's the idea of this trip. Of course I'm always willing to make changes, as I don't know if I can do all of this in just a month. Advice/input are appreciated! Thanks
