You can expect European travel to be expensive and crowded this year, but a few strategies can make a your vacation more affordable.
European travel is — by some metrics — bigger this year than it was pre-pandemic. In the first six months of 2023, 43% more Americans flew to Europe compared with the same period in 2022 and 4% more than the same period in 2019. Those figures come from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration, or ITA, data.
So while you should expect European travel to be expensive and crowded this year, a few strategies can make a European vacation more affordable. In France, you might skip Paris for the country’s third-largest city by population, Lyon, which has a lovely historic district called Vieux Lyon, as well as spectacular Roman ruins that are free to visit.2. Stretch your budget by being flexible with travel dates Shoulder season is the period between the peak season and the offseason. It often has lighter crowds than peak season. Plus, there’s generally cooler weather and more local things to do.
But even if you can’t be flexible with which month you travel, sometimes adjusting your trip by a day or two could save hundreds of dollars in airfare. Travel booking tools like Google GOOGL, +2.72% Flights and Hopper offer date grids that show you the cheapest airfare in the period surrounding your intended travel date.
