Use the Exchange Rate to your Advantage with All Inclusive Holidays in Europe

By Chris Brown


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.

If you want to visit a destination that is easy to get to, why not go to Paris? This is a very popular destination that attracts people from across the world. There are approximately 80 million people who visit Paris each year, which is an unprecedented amount of people. There is so much to see and do here too - 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. A trip to Paris is not 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.

You could always go on an adventure to Portugal instead Cheap holidays are are in good supply here, especially if you travel out of season. The Algarve is probably the most highly visited region of the country, but the capital Lisbon is good for a break away from it all the hustle and bustle 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.

Port Aventura, to the south of Catalonia, is a great place to visit. This is home to Spain's best theme park and Water Park. 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.
