Build the budget from nights and days
The day figures add up to €1,230.00 for one traveller, before the extra costs listed below. The day notes show the stay, meals, local travel and small extras separately. A private-room allowance buys the whole room; divide that part only when sharing. A final day in these destinations has no overnight allowance. These are chosen spending plans, not measured averages or available room offers.
Add other paid visits not already included in the day notes, day-trip transport, intercity tickets and airport journeys. Replace the stay line with your full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning. Do not add the city budget cards on top of these day amounts; they are an alternative way to plan the same spending. The itemised changes cover Belgium, Netherlands. Other-country day allowances remain separate planning figures; replace those with your own bookings too.
Plan the Luxembourg stop
Spend night six in Luxembourg City and leave day seven without an extra room charge. Ordinary Bock entry is included once in day seven. The Corniche and valley walks give the arrival afternoon enough to do without another ticket. Read the capital guide and choose the airport or international departure before fixing the final sightseeing time.
