That would depend on where exactly you'd like to go, and for how long? Eastern Europe (Poland, Russia) would be considerably less expensive than the West (Germany, UK).

There are about 50 countries in Europe... you need to be a little more specific as to your interests...

Cheers,
Terry

As far as I know, you just need to apply for a Shengen Visa that will allow you to travel to every country within the European Union. This makes sense since we don´t have border control within the EU anymore. I don´t know exactly what you need to qualify for a visa though...

The requirements are all on this EU website.

Hi,

I am currently organising my own European trip (plus some). I havent booked anything and I am not planning to leave until May / June 2013 but the first thing I looked at was how much can I save between now and when I wanted to go. That way I was able to figure out some kind of plan with a certain budget in mind. With that in Mind I overestimated how much it would cost for Accommodation and food (flights and insurance etc) was a separate budget depending on how and were you want to travel.
Some things to think about, but it certainly pays to do some research :D

Justify....
That is not really correct !!
Shengen zone = no border controls (also none on flights) ...
But Shengen zone = not the same as EU !!! There are several EU countries NOT in the Schengen zone, and there is one non-EU country that actually IS in the Schengen zone... ;-)
Belgium, Italy, Holland, France are in the Shengen zone.
However , England (The UK) is in the EU, yet NOT in the Shengen zone. This means you will need 2 visa in your pasport (according to your travel plans ) : one for European Shengen zone , and one for the UK . Appy for both !!!!
>>> PRACTICAL. If your arrival will be in Belgium : Apply for a Schengen Visa in the Belgian ambassade or consulat. Then, ALSO apply for a visum in the embassy of the UK .

"- How many money i have to have in bank to get visa when travel to europe?"
Does not apply. You need a return ticket for your flight. That's it !

Greets !!!

(I am in Belgium. Always happy to meet up ! )
