🤔 How can I do a Budget Europe trip from India under ₹50,000?
Short answer : Book off-season flights (Feb-March), stay in dorm hostels, eat from supermarkets, and use Eurail youth passes. Skip expensive attractions. Walk or use trams. This formula works for 6-7 days in Western Europe.
Now let’s break it down simply. First, you need to hunt for flight deals. I used Skyscanner and set alerts. I booked Mumbai to Paris for ₹24,800 round-trip. That’s the biggest chunk. But I saved by flying on a Tuesday – cheapest day!
Second, hostels are your best friend. In Paris, I stayed at Generator Hostel for ₹1,600 per night. It’s clean, safe, and has free breakfast. I shared a room with 5 others. It was fun and saved so much money.
Third, food. Do not eat at restaurants every meal. Buy a baguette, cheese, and ham from Carrefour – that’s your lunch for ₹200. Dinner? Pasta and salad – ₹300. I even carried a small water bottle and refilled it at public fountains. 💧

🗺️ Which European cities are cheap and easy to visit from India?
Short answer : Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin are surprisingly affordable if you plan. Also try Prague or Budapest – they are cheaper than Paris. For first-timers, Paris + Amsterdam is a classic route. Both have budget hostels and cheap student meals.
I chose Paris and Amsterdam. Why? Because they are well-connected by train. The Eurail pass covered both. And both cities have free walking tours – I joined one in Amsterdam and learned so much without spending a penny.

If you have more days, add Brussels. But with just 7 days, two cities are perfect. You get the vibe, the culture, and the Instagram photos. 📸
📅 My 7-Day Europe Plan (that actually worked)
- Day 1: Mumbai → Paris (flight). Reached evening. Walked along Seine river. Free!
- Day 2: Paris – Eiffel Tower from outside (no entry), Champs-Élysées, and Notre Dame. Spent only on metro.
- Day 3: Paris – Louvre museum? Too costly. Instead, visited Petit Palais – free entry! 🎨
- Day 4: Night train to Amsterdam. Saved hostel cost. Slept well.
- Day 5: Amsterdam – canal walk, Vondelpark, and cheese tasting (free sample).
- Day 6: Day trip to Zaanse Schans – windmills. Bus ticket ₹800.
- Day 7: Flight back to India. Bought souvenirs from HEMA – cheap!
💬 My honest opinion: Everyone says Europe is expensive. But I found that hostel culture and supermarket meals make it cheaper than a 5-star trip to Goa! Seriously, you can do it. Don’t let the ₹50,000 number scare you. It’s real.
