Different strokes for different folk, there are various accommodations at different prices. Although, it all depends on what you want. Hostel dormitory rooms (depending on the room size and the hostel’s popularity) cost about $18 to $40 (that is 20 to 45 EUR) per night.

Comparatively, in Eastern Europe, hostel dormitory rooms will cost around $7 to $18 (6 to 15 EUR) for one night, that is according to the room size and how popular the hostel is. But, of course, the further you go in Eastern Europe, the cheaper it becomes. But if you are looking for a room space for two, you should prepare to pay around $13 to $62 (27-55 EUR).

Food
Visiting Europe on a budget and getting to eat on a budget is not so difficult. There are small shops scattered all over the place, and you can get sandwiches, slices of pizza, or sausages for around 4-7 EUR. Moreover, these shops are most of the time located close to train stations, bus stations, and main pedestrian areas. Also, with these small shops, you can be eating at around $10 to $17 (9-15 EUR) per day. In restaurants, you will be spending about $15 to $28 (13-25 EUR) on the main dish and a drink.

Cook your food for one week and spend around $74 ( 65 EUR). If you are going to be eating out, do so during lunch so you can get the prix-fixe menu (two-course or three-course set menu) at prices between $11 to $23 (10–20 EUR).

Tips To Help You Save Money.
These few tricks can help you leave some money in your pocket after the tour:
Picnic
Like I said earlier, going on a picnic can help you save some money. Buy a few items from the market, and you can make your sandwiches if you want, go to a nice spot and enjoy a meal and the view.
Camp in a garden
Camping is another good way to save some bucks. You can get one of the locals to let you camp out in their backyard for free or for as small as 4 to 10 EUR. A new service called Campspace can help you achieve this. Most garden owners have signed up with them and have their profiles up. So you can choose which service you prefer.
Go on free city tours
Another budget-friendly tour is the free city tour! There are free walking tours in all the major cities. You get to see the city and learn about it and its attractions at no cost!
Use the bus
There are bus companies to take you through the continent at cheap rates. It is not all fancy, though, but it is cheap, and you get to experience Europe at as low as $6 (5 EUR).
Couchsurf
As hostels are expensive and there is nobody to share the cost with, you can try CouchSurfing. It lets you find locals who are willing to let you stay with them at no charge.
Plan well
Plan your movement well. Transport costs can eat deep into your pocket. So avoid moving in a back and forth manner. Instead, travel in a straight line so you can save that transport cost. So go from one attraction site to the next and the next, just in that manner. Make your discounted flight and hotel bookings here.
Cut down on the drinks
Beers cost $6 (5 EUR) and of course if you keep drinking you might find out there’s no more money left. But, on the other hand, those bottles can add up fast, so you might want to cut it down a bit if you are on a budget. Lastly, remember to book your flights and hotels here.
