Depending on your plans, you can travel around Europe by train, budget airline, rental car, ferry, and local public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best for: <\/strong>Multi-country itineraries and major cities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trains are among the easiest ways for Australians to travel around Europe, especially when visiting several countries on a single trip. For example, <strong>high-speed rail connects cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and Barcelona <\/strong>with direct city-centre arrivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>Eurail Pass<\/strong> can work well for flexible multi-country travel, while booking directly with national rail operators is often cheaper for fixed itineraries. Booking early usually gives the best fares on popular high-speed routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Budget airlines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best for: <\/strong>Affordable long-distance trips<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/travel-tips\/budget-airlines-usa-spirit-alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Budget airlines<\/a> such as <strong>Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air <\/strong>are useful for travelling between countries that are farther apart, such as Spain to Greece or Italy to Eastern Europe. Flights are often very affordable when booked in advance and can save significant travel time on longer routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, low-cost airlines often charge extra for checked baggage, seat selection, and airport transfers, so check the total price before booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car hire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best for: <\/strong>Regional travel and road trips<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring a car is most useful for rural areas and destinations with limited train access, including <strong>Iceland, the Swiss Alps, and smaller towns in southern Europe<\/strong>. It also gives more flexibility for road trips and countryside travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australians can usually drive with an Australian license, although some countries may also require an <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/trip-planning\/international-driving-licence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Driving Permit<\/a> (IDP). Always check local road rules, toll systems, and cross-border rental policies before driving between countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fdf3ee\"><strong>Tip! <\/strong>Know your transport options, and check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/trip-planning\/best-public-transport-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European cities with the best public transport<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-much-does-a-trip-to-Europe-cost-from-Australia\"><\/span>How much does a trip to Europe cost from Australia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/esim.holafly.com\/travel-tips\/how-to-plan-a-trip-to-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trip to Europe<\/a> from Australia can cost anywhere from around <strong>AUD $2,500<\/strong> for a five-day budget trip to more than <strong>AUD $5,000<\/strong> for a higher-end holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your total budget usually includes flights, accommodation, food, and local transport, with flights often being the biggest expense.
