    How long is a piece of string?

    It all depends on what kind of a holiday you want to have. You won't get accommodation for much cheaper than €20 per night in any hostel.
    Basically, the more money you budget, the more fun you'll have. Simple as that really.

    I'd say you'd want to be at least looking at €50 per day. But that will vary from country to country. For example, when I was interrailing a pint went from €0.30 in Prague to €7.50 in the artic circle!

    Enjoy.

    I'm hoping to travel to Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, and Spain(won't be using the interrail ticket here), and I'll be budgeting €50 per day. €50 x 22 days = €1100

    1100 + €50 flight over + €300 for ticket + €100 flight from Milan to Barcelona (family thing in Alicante, have to train it down) + €100 flight from Alicante to Dublin = ~€1650

    eh, I'm gonna have to take out a loan.....

    EDIT:

    Take a look at this site:

    Brilliant site there, loads of links to hostels in most cities! I'm looking through it now to approximate the prices :)

    I was in france, germany, austria, poland, cech rep, and italy, and me and the missus had a budget of 96euro per day (48euro each). It was plenty in most places and manageable in others. You can usually get a decent place to stay and food and beers for that amount also if you do a bit of camping tihs will save you a fair bit, therefor more booze!!!!! enjoy it!!
