Summer Destinations in Europe: Handy Tips
If value for money is what you’re after from a vacation in Europe, summer time is traditionally not the time of the year when you’ll find many package deals, cheap airfare and competitive hotel rates.
Therefore, if you're looking for a cheap holiday in Europe this summer look for dates in early June, or early September.
I'd definitely avoid mid-summer dates (July-August) since you'll find that many summer destinations in Europe will be way too expensive and crowded!
For instance, European cities such as Barcelona in Spain, Nice France, Zurich, Vienna, Rome Italy and London in England are some of the most popular holiday destinations, but there are also some of the most expensive summer destinations in Europe.
Hints and Tips
- US citizens find best flight deals to Europe when choosing a stop over flight through London UK.
- Car rental and villa rental in Europe is very popular so book in advance (5 months onwards) as you can to benefit from cheaper prices.
- When deciding on a summer destination in Europe, choose where to go according to your interests. For instance, if you love tours and visiting museums, Antwerp Belgium boasts plenty of fun tours such as chocolate and boat tours.
- Plan your summer destination in Europe as thoroughly as possible to avoid unnecessary expenses. (i.e. a travel itinerary is a great way to do this)
- Purchase travel insurance, even if you are not planning on doing adventurous activities. If you get sick or injured, medical expenses abroad can run in the thousands.
- If you’re planning on backpacking around the world or in Europe, buy high quality gear, as the last thing you’d want it’s to buy things like hiking boots or backpack abroad.
