A stronger dollar and uncertain European economies as well as cheap airplane tickets and cheap vacation packages have made Europe a relative bargain.

The value of the dollar vs. the euro grew 9.2 percent between January 2010 and January 2012.

Berlin is home to many new hotels and today offers 30,000 more hotel beds than New York which is creating competition and causing prices to drop. The average room rate is around $111 per night. Purchasing a Berlin Welcome Card for $22.75 covers two days of public transportation and admission to over 160 urban attractions.

The Berlin Brandenburg International Airport is scheduled to open in June and will offer new routes to increasingly popular European destinations. Bucharest, Romania and Zagreb, Croatia are excellent values with hotel rates having fallen 20 percent over the last year.
Hungary is now an outstanding value given that the dollar has increased 25 percent in value vs. the Hungarian forint since July 2011.

Iceland is viewed by many as the savings hub for European travel. Icelandair flies from the U.S. to Continental Europe with stops in ...
... Reykjavik. Travel packages, some as low as $80 for hotels, meals, and spa treatments are resulting in tourists selecting overnight stays in Iceland.

Eating in restaurants in Lisbon Portugal costs dramatically less than in other European capitals. Portugal’s appeal is similar to that of Spain and Italy but offers significantly better values.

A stronger dollar helps tourists visiting Florence and Venice. Even better values can be found for visitors who veer off established tourist paths and check out regions like Puglia, famous for freshly made pasta and century old olive groves.
