As a fresh graduate, how to save money by traveling to Europe! I'm a girl, and I have a list of expenses for a five-country tour in Europe on 10 day! In February, I stayed alone in Europe for 10 days, passing through five countries (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland), and spent a total of 900 euros (6753 RMB) excluding shopping, such as buying a vase for my mother … and I felt very happy! I'm going to share the overall details of my food, clothing, housing and shopping in several points, and I have some summarized experiences/pits/recommended to you ~

Diet: about 150 euros (1 125 RMB).

I save a lot, mainly for eating. Because a person can't eat many varieties when he sits down to order food, and I feel that ordering food in Europe is like opening a blind box … I don't know what strange taste it will have at the meeting. Most of the time, we choose fast food (5- 10 Euro/meal) for lunch, and go to the supermarket to buy sandwiches and fruits for breakfast and dinner. But I will try local specialty snacks in every city, such as waffles in Belgium, potato chips for children who pee in Holland, and pig elbows in Germany. Waffles are sweet, pork elbows are really salty, and French fries are original. ...

My youth tour in Switzerland includes breakfast, which is still very rich. But Swiss fast food is at least 12 euro/ton.

Two: Accommodation is about 273 euros (2048 RMB).

A ***8 nights, all live in youth travel. Zurich and Geneva in Switzerland are slightly more expensive, about 40 euros per night, while Germany and Belgium are about 25 euros cheaper. I took the night train from Holland to Germany. The youth travel experience is very good! My classmates all live in youth travel, and even if they travel together, they will live in youth travel instead of homestay. Some youth teams will provide breakfast and various activities. Some will have curtains to provide private space. Moreover, everyone sleeps separately politely and will not interfere with each other (maybe I have a good sleep quality). On the contrary, I think it's safer to live alone in a youth hostel than a homestay. I strongly recommend my Brussels Youth Travel Service! There are names and pictures! It's new and clean, and there are curtains. The location is right in the center of the city, so it is convenient to go anywhere.

Travel expenses: about 380 euros (28,565,438+0 RMB).

Big traffic: whole train+bus tips:

1: Be sure to book tickets in advance. Because European train prices fluctuate, according to my observation, the later you buy it, the more expensive it is, and you may not get it.

2. If you can choose an operating company, the bus recommends Flixbus! Blablacar's position is close and uncomfortable. Moreover, the seating conditions and charging equipment are not as new and perfect as Flixbus.

3. There are many cases where the bus is late. Don’t panic！ Just wait with the organization at the station. hahaha.

Four shopping

The second-hand culture in Europe is particularly good. I visited several antique shops along the way. Some people sell clothes and jewelry, others sell vinyl records, books, handmade cards, postcards and so on. There are also some who sell porcelain antiques. Very interesting!

Recommend two second-hand shops:

1: Brussels, Belgium: Pêle-MêleBruxelles This store is very big, with old movie posters, books, vinyl singing and so on. Vinyl records are classified according to genre. The address is in the city center, and you can basically walk to Brussels. I bought 3 pieces of vinyl, 1 Sir Zhang, 2 pieces of Mozart and a biography of Mozart. Another reason for recommendation is that this store is really cheap! There are a lot of vinyl-1 ou (of course, there are some expensive ones), and there are many1ou CDs. Books are also cheap! I bought it for only 2 euros, and it's new, orz. I visited at least five second-hand shops in Brussels, and this one is the richest and cheapest.

2. Amsterdam, Netherlands: Kramer Kunst &; Antiek, a shop with antiques, porcelain, tea sets, ornaments and so on, has been open for decades and has a website, which is more reliable. There are many fewer kinds sold on the website and the price is higher. Originally, I wanted to buy a plate, but my parents and I both took a fancy to a Japanese-made 18c porcelain bottle, which was very beautiful, only fifty or eighty euros (I forgot).

Above as students! How to save money by traveling to Europe! But there is a more economical way! Just for fun! Don't buy anything! In addition to eating+living+doing! Don't buy things to save money! ! Ha ha ha ha, but I still can't help buying what I like! ! I hope I can help you! ! Get out! Safety first! Have a nice trip! !
