Vienna · Budapest. Each guide explains local arrivals, food stops and the ticket choices for a stay.
For fewer weeks, choose a smaller connected part of the route and arrange the journey home from it. Removing Italy or another region changes the trains, not just the number of hotel nights.
Florence · Rome · Venice. Use these guides for room locations, visits and local travel. The revised day notes allow for the actual arrival points and keep paid admissions separate from the basic overnight and meal amounts.
The day figures add up to €5,570.00 for one traveller before paid visits and extra journeys. A private-room line buys the whole room; divide only that part when sharing. These are chosen spending allowances, not available room offers or measured averages. Replace the stay amount with the full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning.
Add paid visits, excursions, intercity or inter-island tickets and airport journeys. The day notes separate accommodation, meals, local travel and small extras. The final day has no extra overnight allowance. The city budget cards are an alternative plan, so do not add them on top of this subtotal.
