Semester Abroad in Europe

I plan to visit the major destinations in Italy... Milan, Rome, Venice, and Pisa, and perhaps a few others.

A train ticket to Milan is $80 roundtrip.

Rome roundtrip = $82

Venice roundtrip= $66

Pisa roundtrip= $37

There are also train passes you can purchase in the US that are majorly discounted, especially for young students. There are many to choose from... If you want to browse prices and whatnot, the websites are eurail.com and raileurope.com

Also, I heard buses may also be pretty convenient and cheap for local transportation.

Train from Florence to Pisa (must be done every flight to get to airport)= $37 round trip.
Flight from Pisa to Paris = $57 round trip.

TOTAL= $94

Hostel =25 euros per night, 3 nights = $111

TOTAL FLIGHT AND HOUSING = $205

This is if I left Thursday afternoon, spent night Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and flew back Sunday.

Round trip train to Pisa= $37

Round trip flight Pisa to Vienna= $64

Hostel 3 nights= $60

TOTAL= $161

And Athens! I want to spend a lot of time here, so I'm thinking over Spring Break.

Visit Jungfrau Region for some hiking/mountaineering/climbing.

Train ride from Florence connecting to Milan connecting to Interlaken round trip = $112.

Hostel for 3 night in Interlaken = 25 CHF per night, or $24 US per night.

Total Hostel cost= $72

TOTAL TRAIN AND HOSTEL= $184

There will be added expense here most likely of a mountain guide and renting out equipment.

Train round trip to Pisa= $37
Round trip flight to Eindhoven= $72
Round trip train to Amsterdam= $60
Hostel for 3 nights= $75

TOTAL= $244
