I think the above article has very good tips on how to save money on a European vacation.

I would also add to consider Eastern Europe as generally visiting countries in that region would be cheaper than Western Europe.

I like the go local tip and would add that it also applies when looking for good restaurants or eateries. Follow where the locals go and avoid the expensive tourist traps.

Good tips! I also suggest to use a personal finance software with a cellphone or PDA phone. This makes recording and tracking expenses much easier. An Excel sheet on a PDA would do very well as a personal finance planner and it can be easily transferred to a PC for expenses tracking and archiving.

Brilliant advice! I work for Auto Europe and we’ve been banging on all summer about the importance of booking in advance. It’s really so much cheaper, especially this year, as lots of the more popular holiday destinations like Spain and France have been selling out.

Car hire prices are changing on a daily basis at the moment, and there’s nothing to lose by booking early. Not sure about all suppliers, but Auto Europe gives a full refund if you change your plans up to 48 hours before collection.
