How much money should I bring to Birmingham, England to vacation a week?

Question

Im a broke college student planning to visit my very broke friend in Birmingham, England for a week in October. I will of course be staying with them but need to try to estimate how much I should try saving up seeing as the value of a dollar is alot less than a pound. Does anyone have an estimation of how much I should be trying for? I have no idea the cost of food, entertainment, and travel over there and don't want to end up not having enough money.

Answer 1

I would say 300-500 pounds is a good estimate because theres food and shopping and travel and it all amounts and then money for emergencies

Answer 2

id take £150, travel is about £5, food is about £7 a meal, a night out in a club with drinks can mount up to £30-40 depending obviously then daytrips maybe like £10 then extra incase and for gifts etc...

Have fun i live in this city its awesome!

Go to the club snobs, and visit stratford or the chocolate factory in bournville ;)

Answer 3

for a decent week with nights out, eating out etc. about 150/200 pounds!
