<h3>How much money should i have for a trip to Europe?</h3>
Well in about ten years me and my friends are planning on spending a year in Europe. we will be visiting Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, The UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Greece, and almost every other country. Now since it is in ten years we have a lot of time to collect money. We are all studying several of the languages which wont be an issue. Now all i'm looking for is a estimated sum of how much it would cost. Please help me out here!
<strong>Lithuania best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by ?</i><br/>Depends how luxurious you want to be I suppose - hostels cost far less than hotels, and eating out costs far more than cooking for yourself.
If you think approximately $ 100 a day - which is pretty cheap for lodging, food, entertainment, transportation, etc. that's $ 36,500 for a year.</p>

The Killing Field.
Built at the end of the 19th century, the fort was the ninth in a series of forts constructed by the Russians to defend the western border of their empire. The Ninth Fort is a stronghold in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas. When the city was controlled by the Soviets, the stronghold was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to the Gulag. After the Nazis occupied the area, they used the fort as their place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others. Jews from France, Austria and Germany were also brought to Kaunas and executed in the Ninth Fort. "We are 900 Frenchmen", Abraham Wechsler of Limoges inscribed in the wall immediately before his death. Today the mass burial place of the victims is a grass field, marked by a stark but frankly worded memorial in several language including both Yiddish and Hebrew – "This is the place where nazis and their assistants killed more than 30000 jews from Lithuania and other European countries". An impressive monument to commemorate the victims of Nazism was erected in 1984.
After the Second World War, the Soviets again used Ninth Fort as a prison for several years. It is now a museum.
