How much does a Europe trip really cost? Here's a transparent breakdown of flights, visa fees, hotels, food and sightseeing so you can plan your budget realistically before you start booking.

Flight Costs

Round-trip flights from India to Europe typically range from ₹45,000 to ₹90,000 depending on the season, airline and how far ahead you book, with the lowest fares usually found in the autumn shoulder season.

Visa & Insurance

Schengen visa fees are around €80 per adult (roughly ₹7,200), plus travel insurance costing ₹1,500-3,000, which is also a mandatory requirement for the Schengen visa application itself.

Accommodation & Food

Budget hotels average ₹4,000-7,000 per night across most Western European cities, while meals typically cost ₹1,500-2,500 per day per person if you mix casual eateries with the occasional sit-down restaurant.
