Budgeting for Your Dream Vacation


Planning a European trip and don’t know where to start? First things, first: plan a budget! This is a very crucial step to ensure that you get to see everything you want to when traveling to Europe, without going broke in the process!

When vacationing in Europe, you should first consider the time of year that you traveling. If you’re going to visit a destination spot during their peak season, be advised that you are going to be paying peak prices! Think about planning a trip in the mid or off-season.  Additionally, consider where you are going to stay on your trip. If you want to save extra finances, considering staying in a hotel on the outskirts of the city. You’ll still experience the city-feeling, without paying city-prices!

Attractions can take a bulk of your budget as well; this is where planning in advance will save you time and money. Look into admission prices and traveling fees ahead of time to avoid any financial surprises.  Think about all of the attractions you want to see; are there ones that weight more on your list than others? If so, consider eliminating those or save those for another excuse to visit Europe again! Another great option is to consider going through a travel expert like Enchanted-France.  Groups like this often offer great rates and more affordable packages.


Traveling in Europe doesn’t have to be expensive! Do plenty of research ahead of time and plan wisely to ensure that you get the best bang for your buck!
