Hi, trying to set a budget for several trips I am considering, one is 8 days in France /Germany, 3 days in Colmar, 3 days in Freiburg and 2 days in Paris. Just wondering if $ 4800.00 Canadian is enough for meals, drinks, sightseeing etc. Not worried about airfare or rooms and I know these costs. Thanks.

You say several trips, not sure I really understand. Is this one trip of 16 days broken as noted above?

They use € in Europe, please convert when asking on this forum.. I would think you could do this, but really do not know your life style.

Sorry, I am considering several countries for a trip, one of the options is the France/Germany trip above, it is for 8 days. 3400 Euro is 4800 Canadian. Hope this helps.

I would think you could do those eight days for 3400€, I could, but it all depends on how you spend your money. I would think the big items would be the train tickets, but even with that I am sure you could do it. They say on this forum 60 or 70€ a day at a minimum. Just budget your money through out the trip and you won't run out.

Are you really asking whether $CA4800.00 is enough for an eight-day trip, excluding accommodation?

That's $CA600.00 per day ... you could have perhaps 80 days on $CA4800.00 if you exclude accomm and transport, and were fairly disciplined.

I must have missed something (quite a lot, probably).

Is this budget for one person or four (you say 4 in another thread for Sapin)?

As noted, most people don't keep track of minor currencies like the Canadian Rupee. Using Euros will get you better responses.

Yes, trip is four 4 people. I thought meals in France were expensive, I was budgeting 70 euros per day per person.

bamboo, Canadian rupee, really, your an idiot, if people in France are like you then its a place I do not want to go.

Is that a promise?

If all Canadians were like you I'd pray for the whole country to sink in the Hudson Bay but I know better than to judge a whole country by the silly response of one person ;-)

I would say you could eat for about the same price as you do in Canada. In France, breakfast is basic, coffee and bread or roll, and that can be inexpensive. Lunch can be 5€ and up, dinner 10 to 15€ and the sky is the limit. The restaurants post the menu outside with prices, look at them during the day and return to one that you like for dinner. You could always go to the market and make a nice picnic lunch to enjoy on a nice public garden.
