The continent is home to a range of world-class museums, galleries, and historic sites, as well as beautiful natural landmarks like the Swiss Alps and the Northern Lights.

Don’t feel discouraged by Europe’s travel costs

When it comes to taking a journey through Europe, most people think that such a dream is beyond their modest means. However, this presumption is challenged by the millions of students and others traveling on shoestring budgets in Europe every summer. If they can call Europe their own, there’s no reason you can’t do that, too!

In reality, Europe is quite a bargain in many respects. If you wisely pick your hotels, meals, and transport, a trip to Europe will cost a lot less than a week in some of the popular cities in the United States.

Lagoon mornings near Saint-Gilles, spice-filled markets in Saint-Paul, black sand beaches at Étang-Salé, and volcanic coastlines beyond Saint-Pierre all fit into a relaxed, coastal-first route. I visited with local friends, slept in a tent by the sea, ate Creole food without rushing, and stopped whenever the light felt right. The Travel Bunny’s Reunion West Coast guide covers beaches, food, driving, safety, and pacing, so you can experience Réunion without overplanning and without burning out.
