Book Early, plane tickets transatlantic can cost 800 to 1200 dollars. Stay in youth hostels, and plan to have at least two meals there instead of a restaurant. Don’t be afraid to rough it; most hostels are not going to be the best accommodations, with the exception of Germany that has very nice hostels at a cheap price. Book plane tickets through budget airlines for European travel, booking early can get you great rates; I booked a good flight from Northern Germany to Rome, Italy for twenty euros, about 27 US dollars; and I have seen cheaper ones down to 2 or 3 euros. Remember to take into account that you will have to take a train into larger cities from smaller cities when traveling on plane as most budget airlines don’t have flights landing in major cities. Lastly, you’re not going to get through Europe in two weeks, its going to be rushed and most of the time your going to on a plane or train waiting to get to your next destination; pick one country and enjoy yourself without the extra baggage of wondering if your going to make your next train or plane on time.
All in all a two week trip will end up costing from 1800 to 3000 dollars in all if you do it right.
Check into a Euro rail pass for train travel or try ryanair.com for air travel. You can not do all of Europe in 2 weeks so pick a few highlights and go from there.
Yep. Stick to the new EU members and the east. Transport and other costs are significantly cheaper in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria than in France, UK, Germany, Scandinavia. Purchase point-to-point train tickets in eastern countries; this is much cheaper than a rail pass for these places. Hostels are cheaper. Food is cheaper. Busses and trams are cheaper. Sights and museum entry fees are cheaper. Get a good guidebook for eastern Europe–such as Frommers, Fodors, Rick Steves, Lonely Planet, or Let’s Go–from your nearest library or bookstore, to research and make a route that you like.
