How much cash should you bring to Europe

When it comes to planning a trip to Europe, the first question to ask yourself is: How much money do I need to enjoy my trip without worries? Although there is no mandatory minimum amount, 150 to 300 euros per day is a reasonable estimate to cover accommodation, meals, transportation, and activities.

Moreover, not all European countries use the euro. Countries such as Norway, the United Kingdom, and several others have their own currencies, so it is important to anticipate possible currency exchange rates if your itinerary includes these destinations

How many euros can you take to Europe

There is a legal limit on the amount of euros you can take to Europe. You can enter or leave the European Union with up to 10,000 euros without having to declare them. Exceeding this amount will require you to officially declare the amount to comply with regulations and avoid penalties.

What to consider when taking money to Europe

Determining the minimum amount you should bring depends on factors such as the cost of living at your destination and the type of trip you plan to take. Here are some tips:

  • Accommodations: Research the average prices in the places where you plan to stay. Visit our accommodation module to see the best places to stay in your destination. You will be able to choose from options with a wide range of prices.

  • Food: Plan your meals and consider affordable options.

  • Transportation: Calculate the cost of local and intercity transportation.

Book your hotel from home

Be sure to book your accommodation in advance and make the payment before your arrival with Jumpeople. This guarantees you can stay in the hotels of your choice and also avoids surprises with availability and rates when you arrive at your destination.

Do not carry large amounts of cash

Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Use credit and debit cards, and consider carrying a prepaid travel card for added security. Also, find out about the fees for using cards abroad to avoid unnecessary expenses.

 

How to calculate how many euros to take to Europe

Accommodation

Calculating the cost of your accommodations is one of the first steps in planning a travel budget. In larger European cities, such as Rome, Paris, and Madrid, average daily prices can be higher:

  • Rome: Prices may vary depending on the type of accommodation and the area in which you want to stay. Some of the most recommended areas in Rome where you can stay without breaking your budget include Termini, Esquilino, and San Lorenzo.

  • Paris: As in Rome, the cost will vary depending on what you are looking for and where you want to stay. Consider staying in Montparnasse, Strasbourg Saint-Denis, or Belleville, places that are charming and exciting as well as affordable.

  • Madrid: Here, prices may be a little lower, but it will also depend on the place and the type of accommodation we need for our trip. If you want to discover all that the city has to offer from budget accommodation, look for options in areas such as Argüelles, Lavapiés, or La Latina.

 

Food

The cost of meals can vary depending on the type of food and the city. A meal in an average restaurant can cost between 10 and 55 euros, although fast food is cheaper. Another option is to book your accommodation in one of our apartments. This way, you can do the shopping and prepare your meals to considerably reduce food expenses, especially on longer stays.

Considering, then, a typical day in the following cities:

Transportation

Transportation costs in Europe depend on the type of travel. Train and intercity bus tickets vary depending on the distance and whether tickets are purchased in advance. The subway and local public transportation, on the other hand, are generally inexpensive. It is a common option for those who wish to travel around Europe. Cabs tend to be more expensive, especially in large cities. If you want to move around with the greatest freedom, consider renting a car using our exclusive offers.

 

Tourism

Consider expenses related to tourist activities, such as museums, excursions, or recreational activities during the trip. Entrance fees to museums and attractions are not usually very expensive, and guided tours may vary depending on the activity you want to experience. Visit our activities section to find excursion and activity offers at your destination that fit your budget.


Shopping

If you plan to go shopping, set aside a portion of your budget for souvenirs and gifts. These small items usually cost between 5 and 20 euros. Also consider personal and luxury items. The amount of money you’ll need will depend on your interest in making larger purchases.


How to carry euros on your trip

  • Prepaid cards: Ideal to control your expenses
