    That's what we did and had a fucking bangin time. The cheapest way is to stay in the youth hostels which offer like a bunk-bed type sleeping arrangement. You can get away with less than 30 euros or so a night. The Eurorail pass is kinda pricy, but WELL worth it because you can travel on all of Europe's trains for free, except the TGVs which have a surcharge on them.

    I spent about 2500 dollars for 3 weeks. But you could easily get by with less, we just shopped a lot.

    Another piece of advice - look for deals on places you really want to go, most of the time you can find discount tickets for students, cheaper prices if you go during the week vs. weekends, etc for museums, attractions, tours and whatever.

    Plane tickets book as soon as you can. Euro rail tickets can be bought a week or so in advance. Your hostel pass you wanna get a bit early too, just so you have it and can make reservations with that # to get a discount. Be sure your passport is up to date and everything too, because it usually takes 3 months to get one, unless you want to spend 200 bucks and get it expidited, which still takes three weeks.
