It really depends on what country you’re in, and what you eat/drink. If your meals come from grocery stores (for picnics, cooking yourself) you could probably keep the costs btwn 5-15 euros/day depending on what you eat. If you eat out all the time, that estimate goes way up. Typically, it’s more expensive in Scadinavia, Britain, and Ireland, and cheaper in Southern countries. For example, I paid less than euro for a small carton on milk in Spain, but almost 3 euros for almost the same thing in Dublin.

10 euro/day if only from the markets. 10 euro for a decent meal out (not common). 10+ euro for beer, except in E Europe (daily).
