EU Round Trip travel to 27 countries - air fares

I was sent this email about the cost of travel, by air, to 27 countries in the EU.

"The cost of visiting all 27 EU countries in 27 days, before a possible BREXIT

"22/06/2016, Kiwi.com - Online travel agency Kiwi.com have created a graphic (attached) showing the cost of visiting all 27 EU countries in 27 consecutive days. The epic round trip, which begins in London and lasts nearly 4 weeks, comes with a price tag of just under £1,500. As well as a cost breakdown per fight, the graphic also suggests a unique visitor attraction for each destination.

"Although the £1,500 sum covers only the costs of flights, Kiwi.com also calculated that for a grand sum of £2,800, inner-city travel, food, and the cost of entry to one major attraction would also be possible."

I have a busy day - so no time to research. I'd rather go by train and save the money. But there is a time factor. Driving would also take much longer. We once looked at driving to Lviv on the west of Ukraine. You can race through Belgium and Holland, but other countries take longer.

Got a thousand (pounds) or two or three to spare, and 4 weeks? At least you could write a blog or a book - and up your travel country count.

Who else might do it? You could do the same trip at any time. A honeymoon couple might be keen to visit all their family and friends scattered across Europe. A retired couple might want to sell up and see the world, rather than take hotel accommodation between selling one place and being another. A student with a four week summer holiday, and plenty of cash. A lottery winner. A linguist. A lover.
