Budget Travel Destination
Europe remains a popular travel destination, receiving over 470 million tourists in 2010. Yet many people who do not live near the continent say that it can no longer be considered a budget travel destination. For knowledgeable travelers, however, Europe can still offer some fantastic and cheap options.
You should first determine what you are willing to sacrifice in order to save money, because some people may have no problem with the idea of camping across Europe, while others refuse to sacrifice a hotel room and private bathroom. That said, one good option is to take a repositioning cruise, such as the one form Miami to Barcelona that is sailing this coming May at a very reasonable rate. You can also look for airfare through specialty agencies and portals like 1800FlyEurope. Travelzoo is another excellent travel newsletter packed with many European travel deals.
