How much would it cost to stay in hostels across Italy for 3 weeks?

Question

I'd like to do a self-directed bike tour of Italy, staying in hostels along the way. Could someone please offer a ballpark figure for cost of accomodation, groceries, plus a recommended budget for sightseeing? Please use Italian Lira as a currency.

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

The currency in Italy is the EUR (€).

Exchange rates:

1 EUR ~ 1,60 US$

1 EUR ~ 1,62 CAN$

21 nights in youthhostel just bed            420 €

21 days groceries                                   420 €

21 days others incl. sightseeing            510 €

Total is round about 1.500 € incl. smaller risks.

Do not forget a card for the cash-mashines.

If you become ill you have to pay for the doctors cash.

You will get the money back from your insurance company

but later.
