Some European cities that won’t break the bank

The American dollar is at an all-time low against the world’s major currencies, and travelling to Europe has never been more expensive, but this hadn’t stopped Americans form venturing across the pond to the European continent. According to IgoUgo, an online travel community, travel to Europe was actually up over the American Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

IgoUgo representative Giovanna Garlati says, “Europe has an unprecedented charm that many travelers find impossible to resist. The appeal of the old continent will never cease to attract tourists from around the globe. However, right now the trick to offsetting the weak dollar is to discover incredible places in Europe where the cost of living is considerably lower than the U.S. Our members are savvy travelers and can suggest how to find an affordable trip in very popular cities like Rome or Lisbon, or help discover new affordable places.”

Travellers may find London or Paris a bit too dear these days, but other countries in Eastern Europe are reaping the benefits, like Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
