Europe on a Budget: Weekly Round Up
This edition of Europe String’s weekly round up is brought to you by the letter D and G. As in Doing Good– and that’s exactly what Passports with Purpose is doing this year. If you haven’t already seen this, go check it out. Over 50 bloggers donated $100+ gifts to be raffled off at $10 a ticket, and all proceeds go to Heifer International, a charity that works on eliminating hunger worldwide. I donated a pretty cool REI backpack and travel towel, but there are so many amazing prizes, you’ll just have to go look and see.
European Destinations
Ahhh… a hot sauna in Europe. What could be better? Viator Travel blog runs down the best spots to get your steam on.
Wishing I was in Italy for Christmas… Culinary Diva describes the sumptuous feast and her attempts to keep up!
Hmm, I also wish I was in Munich, Germany for the Christkindlmarkt (annual Christmas Market). Looks chilly but fun.
When I was in Madrid, I had such a hard time partying– they don’t start until 1 AM! But if you want to be cool in Madrid, you gotta know not just where to go, but when.
Thinking of moving abroad? Check out what an apartment in Prague looks like. Love, love, love those views!

Thanks for the round-up. Great tips. The first photo reminds me of walking around little mountain town in Southern Italy searching for homemade cheese and freshly baked bread

I love to visit Europe someday. Seriously, if there were job opportunities in Europe, I would grab it more than any opportunities in other parts of the world.

Europe is a great place to visit. I just love Italy in general and Prague in particular.
