If all your transportation, housing, etc. are already covered. Then, yes, $1,000 USD should be enough for eight days, if you are frugal. Remember, the euro is worth a lot more than the dollar. A friend just got back from Germany and said he paid about $1.60 on average for one euro. At current exchange rate, $1,000 USD = 700 EUR, which is 87.5 euro a day, plus exchange fees. Figure about 10 -30 euro a day for economy lunches, water or sodas/snacks, a souvenier t-shirt around 10-15 euro, clubbing will be pretty expensive, admissions to exhibits/museums 10-20 euro, that kind of thing. I spent 900 euro for pocket money for 14 days in Germany last year. But, the exchange rates were better then and I spent on the low end except at Oktoberfest. Hope this helps, have a good time.
