posted on February 26th, 2009
You may have thought it’d cost the earth to stay in one of the Paris hostels not far from the heart of the city. In fact it’s quite possible to book rooms in hotels. just a step away from the Champs-Elysées for less than $100 a night. For that price you’ll get two star accommodation including bedroom, shower, cable television and telephone. And thanks to its convenient location you’ll be able to eat your breakfast and then walk straight out onto the busy shopping streets. If you’re keen to do a bit of sightseeing then the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides aren’t far away. You’ll also be well served by public transportation right on your doorstep, including of course the famous Paris Metro.
And if you’re flying over from the US you might be interested in looking for a cheap flight to Europe . With the increasing availability of low-cost fares from budget airlines and travel agents it’s never been easier to find a bargain. If you’re not sure where to start then looking try going onto one of those prices comparison websites. All you have to do is put in the dates and times you require and the database will calculate a shortlist of flights for you to choose from. You’ll be able to see which airlines are operating the lowest fares at the time you want to travel, and you’ll also be able to look for special offers. Sometimes even the more expensive airlines offer reduced fares at certain times of the year. Generally speaking, though you’ll find that most operators will charge you less for your flight if you travel mid-week. By going on a Tuesday or Wednesday rather than at a weekend you can save yourself a tidy sum.
