europe travel costs and attractions

Europe is a continent located in the northern hemisphere that offers a wide range of attractions and activities for visitors. It’s made up of more than 50 countries, each with its own unique culture and history.

Visitors to Europe can explore the vibrant cities, experience the beautiful natural scenery, or learn about the continent’s rich cultural heritage. 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.

Whether you’re interested in exploring the bustling streets of Paris or relaxing on the beaches of the Mediterranean, Europe has something for everyone.

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.

Bavaria 350 Sailboat for Sale: A Great Deal in Greece (SOLD)

by

In February, we bought our beautiful Bavaria 350 sailboat in the South of France. After the lockdown we spent in France, we worked on it a bit, and then we set sail. Puzzle, our Bavaria 350 Lagoon, safely took us from Saint-Raphaël in France to Piraeus in Greece, along the Italian coast. Our trip is now over and we are getting ready to switch from liveaboards to landlubbers once again. Sadly, we can’t afford to take Puzzle back to France and keep her in one of the expensive ports on the French Riviera, which is why we are putting our …

Visit Cannes by Boat. Sailing from Saint-Raphaël to Vieux Port

by

Want to visit Cannes by boat? I sailed from Saint-Raphaël to Vieux Port de Cannes aboard Puzzle, passing Cap Dramont, Île d’Or, and the red Estérel coast along the Corniche d’Or. We moored in the busy harbor, ate aboard, and explored Le Suquet after dark. This firsthand Cannes sailing guide covers berth reservations, marina arrivals, waterfront walks, and overnight stops. I also explain anchoring near the Îles de Lérins and boat excursions for visitors without a sailboat. You’ll get practical advice grounded in our trip, including the Cannes beachfront walk we mistakenly thought was La Croisette on our first visit.
