Imagine a place with perfect scenery and aesthetically pleasing architecture. Imagine being surrounded by new languages, with other foreign countries just a short train ride away. Imagine eating authentic local delicacies. Fascinating, historical, captivating, exciting and beautiful; five words just aren’t enough to describe what travelling through Europe is like.
That all sounds great, you say, but not all of us are have money to burn. Fortunately, there are a number of options when travelling throughout Europe, whether you’re the kind that likes stylish and luxurious (and can afford it) or if you are a young student or someone looking to leave less of a dent in your wallet. However you travel, you can pick from 5 star hotels and cheap hostels.
One destination you should consider is the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. There plenty of places to visit and it is rich in Italian culture. Depending on your length of stay, the best option would be the rent an apartment. It can be cheaper than staying at a hotel and definitely more comfortable. Many European cities have rental apartments with the influx of tourists they receive so they are quite easy to find. You can rent these places for anytime, from one weekend up to a month or longer.
If you are just passing through Paris to see the sites and take in the Parisian experience, try a hostel for a few nights. Reserving in advance is usually the best option as beds at hostels sell like hot cakes. It’s worth doing a little research and reading reviews online. Most hostels can be a very pleasant experience, but others may leave you missing home.
If you are interested in luxury hotels with room service, gourmet restaurants and fancy suites, there are plenty. If you want to spend a weekend in Switzerland, admiring the gorgeous scenery and rich experience, or visit the enchanting city of Rome, there are many options with 5 star hotels throughout Europe.
