Hostels


Hostels are a great way to be able to save a ton of money. Most hostels have a Kitchen and some even have a washer. Hostels can have shared rooms. Most have six people to a room. So if we wanted to book a room just for us with the people in our group we could do so. Hostels cost anywhere from $11-30 a night. Most come with a free meal and wifi. We could also save money by going to the grocery store and preparing food there. Find more information at http://www.hostelbookers.com/

Eurail Pass

This site explains the different passes that we can use. We will most likely get the 6 days in 2 months pass. There are different pricing plans. If you are under 26 you get a discount. If you are over 26 you can get a discount if you will travel with 1 or more people. However the adult pass is first class and the youth(under 26) is second class. So the people with the Adult pass would not be able to travel in the same compartment as the people with the youth pass.

Countries

We plan on Starting off in Madrid Spain, then going to Paris France, then Berlin Germany, Then somewhere in Switzerland, then to Bellagio  and Rome Italy. After that we will decide where else we want to go or if we want to go back somewhere else.

Flight

The cheapest way to flight to Europe is to Spain. We found the best priced flight at right around $960 for a round trip. We are setting the dead line for march 25th to get the tickets. We will have another meeting then so we can all buy the tickets to get on the same flight. The site we found with the best price is Cheapoair.com
