Cheap Travel Through Europe
Budget Travel: Cheap Travel in Europe Web TransitionsAbroad.com Home Work Study Travel Living As seen in Transitions Abroad Magazine July/August 2003 Related Topics Budget Travel Back Door Travel with Rick Steves Related Articles Europe’s Online Travel Deals Cheap Flights Within Europe Cheap Flights To Europe Rick Steves' Thrifty Fifty: How to Make Your Dollars and Sense Carry You Further in Europe Cheap Travel Through Europe 10 Money-Saving Tips for Your European Vacation Solo Backpacking Through Europe Hostels Are the Best Deals Tenting in Europe European Travel by Bus Car Camping Through Europe Coping With a Weak Dollar Affording Italy: Camping Leads to Savings and Local Culture Cheap Travel in Europe By Steve Sanoski (Web editor's note: Updated to link to sites for current rates and information.) Like many students, I was on a tight budget on my first visit to Europe. Living in England at the time, I found a package deal through the Eurolines bus network that seemed to be what I was looking for. Eurolines is downright cheap compared with European rail passes. On England’s Eurolines web site, www.eurolines.com , you may see their inexpensive current rates for 15, 30 and 40 days. My mini-pass started and ended in London, by way of Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. The advantages of traveling by train over bus include more legroom, more frequent opportunities to stand up and stretch, more destinations, and significantly more punctual schedules. In addition, sleeping cars are available, meaning you’ll be refreshed after a night of travel. Complete Eurail price lists and schedules are available at www.railpass.com . Eurail passes can be customized to your specific travel plans. If you’d rather skip ground travel all together, airlines such as Easy Jet ( www.easyjet.com ) and Ryanair ( www.ryanair.com ) offer cheap daily flights all over Europe. If your travel dates are flexible, discount flights can save you time and money. Ultimately, when deciding how to get around Europe, you must consider not only your budget but also how much time you have to spend on traveling and how much you value comfort. Having sampled all three options on separate one-month trips through Europe, I would suggest you seriously consider taking a train or airplane over a bus network. You’ll find you have more access to Europe and more time and energy in which to explore it. STEVE SANOSKI studied abroad in England last year. He now lives in Duluth, MN, where he is a journalism student at the University of Minnesota. Contact him at sano0009@d.umn.edu .
