Budget European travel for families
The first thing to be aware of is that this site is my hobby. I do not own hotels or apartments and I am not a Travel Agent. Where accommodation or travel providers are included on this site, the intention is to be as impartial as possible, focussing on the value for money they offer and / or their sustainable approach.
Browse this site and find out how to make your own individual travel arrangements. Many guides cater for students travelling Europe with Eurorail etc.. but very little for car touring families looking for good value apartments, hotels and transport. In the near future we will add more transport information (ferries, rail, air), eating out and shopping (food to car servicing).
We intend to provide a service for those of you wanting more Europe, for your hard earned money.
European Hotels
There are numerous, very reasonable hotels and motels throughout France. These range from Logis to the motels found on the outskirts of major towns and cities. Family hotels are also good value with numerous hotel groups providing up to 2 extra beds for children free of charge.
Self catering apartments
Self Catering Apartments in Europe are particularly good value. A week's accommodation can be found from as little as £50 / 50 Euro s per person! France has numerous Self Catering Apartment chains located around its three different coastlines as well as inland locations such as the Alps and Cities. There are also apartment groups in Spain, Belgium, Germany, United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Europe's rail network is extensive and has recently been upgraded with new high speed lines and new rolling stock. Cheap tickets can be found if you know when and how to book. Buses are also another cheap option with companies like MegaBus selling really cheap seats. Both train and bus have another advantage of being less damaging to the environment.
Budget Airlines
Eurapart started before the rapid proliferation of the "No frills airlines" covered them for a while and now focusses on more sustainable forms of transport.
Ferries
With the Channel tunnel open for over 10 years now, it is now an accepted means of crossing the Channel. Ferries offer tremendous value at present due to overcapacity, competition from budget airlines and operators like NorfolkLine who sell return tickets for a car and occupants from £38.
Student Travel - Hostels & Rail Passes
Hostels are even cheaper. Eurapart now can offer hostels throughout Europe through HostelWorld.com. In addition we have teamed up with RailChoice the UK's leading supplier of Rail Passes.
