Western Europe is a loose term for the collection of countries in the westernmost region of Europe, though this definition is context-dependent and carries cultural and political connotations. One definition describes Western Europe as a geographic entity — the region lying in the Western part of Europe. Another definition was created during the Cold War and used to describe the non-Communist states of Europe that were allied with the United States to some degree. As a result, geographically central and eastern countries that steered clear of Soviet influence during the Cold War are usually included, while western members of the former Eastern Bloc (with the exception of Eastern Germany) are excluded.

Countries described as Western European are invariably high-income developed countries, characterized by democratic political systems, mixed economies combining the free market with aspects of the welfare state, and are members of NATO.

A. 50 EUR per day and person is the cost of a backpacking trip to Western Europe. If you add flight tickets from the US you'll spent between 1800 and 2000 USD. Standard fare from most US cities is 800 USD in low season. Hostels are between 15 and 30 EUR per night. I don't recommend using the Eurail, especially not for Germany. If you want to do it cheap-cheap and don't care too much about comfort there are some excellent deals out there involving slow travel on regional trains. (I'll gladly explain in detail if you want. Email me.) Depending upon your initiary there are also long-distance buses and budget flights that are usually cheaper than the train. However if you cannot be bothered to do any in-depth research and don't mind possibly… [cont.]
