How much does the average inter-city train ticket in Europe cost?

I'm planning a 3 month trip to Europe and would like to know how much a typical train ticket cost. Not like Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul, but like, say, London-Paris, Monaco-Milan, Berlin-Hamburg.





I know there is no fixed price cos they differ with the distance and destination, but I want a rough estimate.





My budget is around USD$10K anyway. Do you think that'll last me a rough round trip around Europe for 2-3 months?|||USD 10K sounds ok to me for 3 months in Europe. No big luxury, but not going hungry either.

As a general rule it is a good idea to go to the individual countries train websites to get the fares. See seat61.





Tip: Don't buy a Eurail pass, unless you feel the need to spend more money than you really need and or must travel first class.
