How much does it cost to travel in Western Europe?

With destinations including London, Paris and Rome, it is unsurprising that Western Europe includes some of the most pricey places to travel. The average budget per day for a solo traveller is likely to hit the $100 mark, due to the cost of eating, accommodation, getting around and admission to tourist sites and attractions.

Just remember the larger price tags give you access to incomparable history and architecture (EG Buckingham Palace, Cathedral of Notre-Dame and The Leaning Tower of Pisa) and include relatively high standards of accommodation and public transport.
