I hope to study abroad in Rome from January 2011-May/June 2011 … My parents are paying for tuition, room/board, and necessary expenses such as food. I want to save up a substantial amount of spending money in order to save my parents some trouble. Of course I plan on traveling on the weekends and during breaks … I was wondering how much spending money I should save in order to afford to visit these countries/cities:
Naples, Milan, Sicily, Venice, Florence (within Itay)
Germany (Berlin & Munich)
Ireland (Dublin)
England (London)
Czech Republic (Prague)
Switzerland (Genova)
Vatican City
Greece
France (Paris, Cannes, Nice)
Spain (Madrid, Barcelona)
Monaco (Monte Carlo)

& hopefully some of eastern europe as well. Please keep in mind that I am willing to buy a train pass and fly for very cheap (ryan air, or other similiarly cheap airlines) most of these trips will be weekend trips and I am more than willing to stay in hostels. Any kind of ballpark estimate would be nice!
1,000! thank you for your insight! i was planning on having to bring around 3k purely for travel expenses! has anyone had any experience with the eurail pass? and if so, is it worth it?
