Now is a great time to take advantage of the winning British Pound! Our strong currency means that now is a better time than ever to travel to Europe and snatch up the cheap holidays on offer. The recent economic turmoil that has hit the world does not need to necessarily mean that you can’t go on holiday. Make the most of this difficult time and travel to European cities that offer you a great exchange rate.

With some 80 million visitors a year, Paris is the world’s top city destination but that is no surprise when considering what is on offer in the French capital. There are world class museums like the Pompidou and the Louvre, with some of the world’s greatest historical artefacts. Tourists can take a walk to the Place de la Concorde to see one of the obelisks from the Luxor temple in Egypt before visiting the Pantheon. No visit to Paris would be complete without a trip up the Eiffel tower. A ride on the RER, Paris’ train system is a cheap way to get to Versailles for a glimpse of the opulence that sparked the French revolution.

Portugal is best known for cheap holidays in the Algarve but the capital Lisbon is good for a break away from it all as well. The city has a number of interesting tourist sites, especially in the town of Sintra. The sites include the mystical gardens of Quinta de Regaleira, one of Portugal’s most beautiful stately homes. High up on the hills, the Castle of the Moors and Pena palace dominate the surrounding landscape.

If you want to indulge in tapas, go to Barcelona instead! This popular city destination has some similarities to Lisbon. Catalonia’s coastline is popular for tourists on all inclusive holidays because of the abundance of resorts and great beaches.

There is lots to get up to in the south of Catalonia. Port Aventura, Spain’s best theme park and Water Park, is an attraction that you simply cannot miss! In the city of Barcelona there are beautiful city beaches for a spot of tanning before enjoying a lunch composed of fresh regional specialties. Barcelona’s museums are very well stocked and the architecture is sublime.
