Our goal is to make it easier for more people to visit Europe. Enjoy our tips in the ultimate guide for planning a trip to Europe!

Where to Stay by City

After you’ve decided the city you’d like to visit, your next step is to decide which neighborhood to stay in. Many people choose the hotel first, but we highly recommend deciding on a few neighborhoods that meet your interests before looking at hotels. Often, a great hotel and a great price are in a not-so-great area. For us, it’s location location location!
