Europe, 2007 - Lauren Truesdell

Completely revised and updated for 2007, Let's Go Europe is the only choice for the budget traveller. Researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap, this guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever.

Europe has long been a hot-spot for those bitten by the travel bug, and over the years some things haven't changed - aspiring writers still spin impassioned romances in Parisian alleyways; a glass of sangria at twilight on the Plaza Mayor tastes as sweet as ever; and iconic treasures, from the onion domes of St. Basil's cathedral to the behemoth slabs of Stonehenge, inspire wonder in another generation of wayfarers. Yet, against this ancient backdrop, a freshly costumed continent takes the stage at the beginning of a new act. While Prague and Budapest may have been the hot spots of the 90s, emerging cities like Krakw and Stockholm are poised to lure travellers off the beaten path in the early years of the new millennium. Whether it's the pubs of Dublin, the upscale bistros of Lyon, the frozen north country of Sweden, or the dazzling beaches of Croatia's Dalmatian Coast that call to you, Let's Go Europe has the answer.
