Remember when you could do "Europe on $50 a day"? It was a catchphrase that sold guidebooks en masse and became the budget guideline for many a traveller ... but that seems like a long time ago....

Lonely Planet author Sarah Wintle says it is possible to get by in Europe on $100 a day (and less in many areas) if you stay in hostels and self-cater for meals.

David Hearle, the founder of online travel guide publisher eGuide, agrees, saying he recently travelled around Italy on €100 (about $180) a day for two people.
