Non - Eurozone Cities Offering Exceptional Value

Whilst many European countries are on the path to an economic recovery the indications are that the fortunes of the British economy are uncertain. Consequently travellers from the UK are faced with £ - € exchange rates only slightly better than at the beginning of 2009.

Though reduced hotel prices across europe have partly offset the cost of European trips for UK travellers (particularly in cities like Amsterdam and Paris) destinations outside the Eurozone generally offer better value. Accommodation prices in Budapest Hungary and Kiev the Ukraine are very competitive at the moment particularly if you prepared to negotiate with the hotelier or agency.

Other cities offering good value Dubrovnik Croatia, Gdansk & Krakow Poland, Tallinn Estonia, Prague Czech Republic, Budapest Hungary, Vilnius Lithuania, Riga Latvia.

Travel Dangers And Personal Safety In European Countries And Cities

Though tourist boards and travel companies promote the merits of the travel destinations they serve because they want your money they rarely tell about the downside of where you are thinking of going.

Every country or city has its problems when it comes to personal safety and crime and because as a tourist or visitors you are not familiar with the area you are susceptible to being the target of petty criminals.

Euromost city guides highlight the main problems and dangers faced by visitors to a city. The European 'Dangers Index' contains general advice on personal safety for women travelling to Europe.

The index also details the contributions made by individual countries in Europe to the wars Afghanistan and Iraq. This data suggests that most countries in Europe are to some degree liable to a terrorist attack. Historically there is an indication that the greater the involvement a countrys involvement in these wars the more likely it is to experience terrorism.

The index also identifies countries were local terrorist groups or indigemous freedom fighters may be active such as in Russia.

The European Dangers index also identifies areas such as the Balkans where former wars have left a legacy of landmines Dangers Index
