Question

Answer 1

It is good to have 600 a month in Rome. Rome is not so expensive like London for a star bus and tube are cheap and a pizza and drink in a pizzeria is about 15 euro.

Answer 2

yup, for entertainment and you spend wisely, it is enuf 4 u!

Answer 3

only if you live with mamma!

Answer 4

no!!! it's not enough!!!

600 euros can maybe be enough for a little flat...

but you'll need to live...

Answer 5

Lucky you that you don't have to pay for rent or bills.... 600€ should be enough for a month if you know how to manage them well.  Having fun in Rome does cost.

Answer 6

It depends on your lifestyle there. If you go to the top places, it may last you a week. But to live like  local, perhaps. Are you a student or a visitor? Quick rule of thumb anywhere you go, look at the wages for a Taxi driver and a nurse. They seem to be able to buy the same amount of cups of coffee or bottles of beer in their own town, wherever they are!

Answer 8

Yes, 600euro is enough!

Answer 9

It depends on how you budget your money. Low Budget for meal is €5-10. A number of basic things are reasonably inexpensive: a pizza or plate of pasta with a beer (the staple cheap meal in a restaurant) will set you back between £5/$8 and £10/$16 on average, though in some of the larger, more visited cities - Florence and Venice, for example - it can be difficult to find appealing venues in this price range; Rome and Naples, on the other hand, are no problem. Buses and trains are cheap too: the rail journey from Rome to Milan on an Intercity train, for instance, costing just £46/$74 for a second-class return - a five-and-a-half-hour, six-hundred-kilometre trip. Drinking , by contrast, is pricey - unless you stick to wine. Soft drinks and coffee cost around the same as in Britain and more than in North America; a large glass of beer can cost up to £3/$5 if you decide to sit down. Overall, in central Italy, if you're watching your budget - camping, buying food from shops and markets - you could get by on around £25/$40 a day; a more realistic average daily budget - staying in one-star hotels, taking trains and eating one cheap meal out a day - would be approaching £40/$64, perhaps a little less in the south; while to live reasonably well you probably need to spend at least £50/$80 a day.Bear in mind, too, that the time of year can make a big difference. Apart from state museums and sites, which are free to under-18s and over 65s, and half price to people under 26, there are few reductions or discounts: only a handful of museums accept ISIC cards, and buses and trains never do. <*-*>

Answer 13

If rent and utilities are covered (including telephone & transportation - metro and or bus) the 600 is enough to live on. Budget yourself well, buy fresh fruit & veggies at the market and your canned stuffs at the discount food stores. There is plenty of free things to see and do in Rome - take advantage of this.

Dont buy ciggarretts - this vice will cut into your budget like a hot knife through butter.
