Amsterdam Hotel Canal
Spending Money London, Paris & Amsterdam June 09?
Hiii!!! I am heading over to Europe in June 09 with my partner and our 3 year old daugher, we have booked and paid for hotels in all three locations all which are 4-5star in great locations and include breakfast I was just wondering how much spending money do you think we would need each day for tourist attractions (maddam tussauds, eiffel tower, canal ride, london eye etc – the main biggies) as well as transport and food, we have paid for our rail tickets between each country, our stay in EuroDisney cost over $2500 for two nights so a little apprehensive as to how much you think we would need. Not including extra spending ie clothes shopping etc just the travel (underground,metro,etc), food (but not maccas but cafes etc would be fine) and tourist things? any ideas? would really appreciate any feedback, thanks!!!
Thankyou so much for your really helpful answers guys!
As you have already paid the big lot, you would need money for lunch, dinner and sightseeing.
Sightseeing, if you plan on about $40 per adult per day, you should be able to make it, that is mostly entry to 2 museums and a tour or 2 of the more expensive things. The ones you name are not the cheapest ones in town, so if you feel that is too much, you can easily spend less and still fill your days.
For lunch, you can buy a loaf of bread and some nice spreads, enough to feed the three of you for about $5, or you can go to a moderate restaurant and spend $20 each.
Same for dinner, but that tend to be more expensive, up to $50 per person, more possible.
So if you are feeling the costs get out of hand, eat a nice hot dinner in a cheap place like a department store or small cafe/pub and buy bread for dinner.
If you plan on a lot of traveling within the cities, the cards that cover all your local travel costs are a good deal.
Having said that, I usually spend about 150 Euro per day, traveling along, (at the current exchange rates that is about $US 190,) including my place to sleep, as Paris and London are expensive. In Amsterdam I spend more in shopping but less in food, but it is near my home and I know all the little, cheap places for lunch and dinner, or I eat home and just spend a couple of hours in town.
I do normally not do several expensive museums per day and keep most of my meals moderate. I guess that about 80 to 100 Euro are for spending money.
