Europe has a well-connected network of public transport systems that include trains and EU bus service. You may also want to rent a car for some parts of the trip. Approximately, travel costs will range from $25 to $200 per day depending on the type of transportation.
If you have more time to spare, you could either spend more time at a destination or add one more nearby location to your list.
