Answer 3

Roman hotels are very expensive. Sometimes you pay too much and quality is bad.  You wouldn't try A medium level, 3 stars, less then 150-200 Euros.

For lunch there are more possibilities.

Answer 4

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. Room rates start at a bottom line of £15/$24 for the most basic double room in a one-star hotel, although again in Milan, Florence or Venice it's hard to find anything under £25/$40. 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 yearcan make a big difference. During the height of summer, in July and August when the Italians take their holidays, hotel prices can escalate; outside the season, however, you can often negotiate much lower rates. 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 5

Hello,

It depends on what you want to do.  If you plan on 100 euros a day per person you should be fine.  This doesn't include airfare and only allows for a very cheap hotel.  If you have already paid for the hotel, then 50-75 euros a day should be fine.  

Rome is a very inexpensive city to visit.  Most of the attractions are free.  The colosseum/palatine hill , the baths of caracalla and the museums are the only pay sites.  If you don't go inside the colosseum it will cost you nothing. You  can walk around it and see the whole thing for free.   The forums are free as are the pantheon, trevi fountain and spanish steps.  If you eat at pizzarias and stand at the counter you can spend less than 5 euros for a pizza and soda.  

You really can have a great time on  a limited budget.
