Traveling Abroad
Visit Historical Europe Without Breaking The Bank.
By: Christie Bohm Chase, Staff Writer
Historic bridges, ancient architecture,
bustling markets, outdoor cafes, massive
museums and lush landscapes entice more
than 8 million Americans to European shores
each year. Packed with incomparable culture
and history, Europe offers us a chance to trace
our roots and explore age-old cities. Many
more Americans would probably head
overseas if it weren’t for the expense of travel.
Today, a trip to Europe no longer has to be a
pipe dream, since crossing the Atlantic doesn’t
have to be a costly venture. Low-cost lodging,
transportation and virtually free sightseeing will
make it easy to fit a European get-a-way into
your budget. Often, veteran travelers agree
that traveling on a budget makes for the best
memories, as it forces you to walk the streets
of far-a-way places and mingle with natives on
their own turf - in plazas and parks, pubs and
cafes, giving you a true taste of the city you’re
visiting.
Low-Cost Lodging
No need to stay at a ritzy, expensive hotel
when traveling abroad, there are many ways to
cut costs on lodging. Consider one of the
following unconventional and inexpensive
places for rest when traveling through Europe.
• Many colleges open their dorms to
travelers, especially during the summer
when students are on break, for about
half the rate of a hotel stay. For college
dorm information, check with the tourist
office or local university in the city you’re
visiting.
• Hostels, which are not just for the young
college crowd, cost even less than
staying on a college campus. For more
information check on-line at
www.hostels.com.
• If you plan to stay in one city for two or
three weeks consider renting a condo.
Condos give you room to spread out,
and can house many people. A
company called Condolink handles
many rentals in Europe
• The cheapest way to stay in Europe is
to swap your home with someone from
Europe who is looking for lodging in this
country. Home-swapping is nearly free,
except for the fee to join a home-
swapping organization; however, you’ll
need to start planning your trip about a
year in advance. The leading home-
swapping organizations are Intervac,
Vacation Exchange Club, and Trading
Homes International.
• If you’re looking for a clean, no-frills,
safe room, look for a local convent.
Especially popular in Catholic countries,
convents offer discounted housing no
matter your religion. Generally, convents
cost anywhere from $5 to $50 per night
and are located in most major cities and
near pilgrimage sites.
Taking a Tour Trip
If you opt to take a guided tour through
Europe with one of the hundreds of operating
tour companies you’ll want to do some
homework before paying for your tour. Here are
a few hints on shopping for a tour guide.
• Generally, the older the tour guide
company, the more time it has had to
perfect the vacation package. It is
usually better to choose an operator that
specializes in the area you’d like to visit
and the activity you’d like to partake in.
• Tour companies often cater to a specific
type of person. Knowing the age range,
marital status, gender and athletic ability
of participants will help you decide on
the right company and trip for you.
• Most tour companies include all meals
and accommodations in their advertised
price. Some companies also include
rental equipment, while others provide
the option of bringing your own or
renting for a nominal fee. Find out what’s
included ahead of time.
• Find out if the tour company has
references you can contact. A past
participant is more likely to tell you the
ups and downs of a trip and give you a
better feel for the quality of the tour.
Sightseeing Savings
Seeing the sights of Europe can be one of
the least expensive parts of your trip...if you
know where and what to look at. Stroll through
Paris’s Luxembourg Gardens, spend an
afternoon in London’s Tate Gallery, visit
Barcelona’s medieval quarter or relax on a St.
Tropez beach all for free. Here are a few of the
many popular European cities that offer free or
low-cost attractions.
• Located in Czech Republic, Prague
offers travelers a mix of Gothic,
Baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture,
as well as great theater deals in famous
theater houses. One of the cities best
free scenic views is from the ramparts
on top of Vysehrad citadel at the city’s
south end.
• Enjoy a little Irish countryside in the
uncrowded city of Dublin, where you
can stay at bed-and breakfasts for as
little as $30 dollars per person per night.
Irish golf courses offer history and a
challenging game to contenders with
many green fees as low as $40-$45.
• Some of Amsterdam’s best sights can
be seen by simply strolling along the
shady canals, with the beautiful bridges
and 17th century houses. While there,
take advantage of the free admission to
Vondelpark, featuring 120 acres of
trees, ponds, flower beds, and picnic
grounds, where concerts and all kinds of
open-air activities are held.
• When in Barcelona spend some time
people-watching along La Rambla. This
famous street offers an ever-changing
spectacle of street performers, mimes,
sketch artists, political orators, and
people of all walks of life.
• To gain an understanding of what life
was like during the Cold War visit
Berlin. The most colorful remainder of
the famous Wall is in former East Berlin
on Muhlenstrasse. Known as the East
Side Gallery, this part of the wall was
painted with more than 100 murals by
international artists in 1990 when the
wall came down, making for an
interesting walk.
• London welcomes sightseers with
many free attractions. Visit Tate Gallery,
The British Museum and the National
Gallery as well Westminster Abbey and
the Houses of Parliament. It’s also free
to watch the Changing of the Guard at
Buckingham Palace. Make time to
peruse the many outdoor markets, catch
some entertainment at Covent Garden,
and window-shop along Oxford and
Regent streets and King’s Road.
• In Nice half of the 2-mile long pebbled
beach is free, so take advantage of this
stretch and sunbathe, swim, people-
watch, or just daydream. Head to Le
Chateau, the only hill facing the sea, for
the best panoramic view of Nice and the
beach.
• While in Paris take one of the free
guided tours of Notre-Dame, then walk
along the quays of the Seine and
browse through the shops and stalls.
Despite that the Pompidou is now
closed, the spacious front of the Centre
Pompidou is a free entertainment center
featuring mimes, fire-eaters, would be
circus performers, and many musicians.
