Europe String

It’s December already! This month we’re starting something new here at the ol’ Europe on a Budget factory… a weekly round up of the best posts from around the web: European Destinations, Travel Tips, and Budget Deals– and a few extra things I thought you might like. And while the holiday spirit is upon us, I’ve included a way for you to submit posts for next week’s round up at the end of this post. So go, write something brilliant, then tell us about it.

European Destinations

End of the Parisian café? Let’s hope not: Au Revoir, Café?

Ok so what café should I go to?  Budget Travel tells us: Paris: Restaurants and bars to visit pre- or post-Louvre

EuroCheapo really knocked it out of the park this week with these three posts:

• Madrid’s Ghost Town: El Escorial
• Berlin: Berlinale Film Festival, Feb 5-15, 2009
• Bruges cheap souvenir: Lace

Ah Central Europe with its Vienna and Germany and Austria countryside.  Uncornered Market takes us on a tour: A Central European Eye

Budget Deals

Not so much of a deal, as a warning:  beware flaky airlines for your 2009 summer travel.  RyanAir predicts more bankruptcies.

Prediction:  Travel will continue to decrease through 2010.  The good news?  More travel deals for independent travelers.

Airline deals from TravelZoo:

$335-$477 — Ireland from Across the U.S. (R/T), incl. Taxes
