Average Vacation Expenses in European Union
-3.76%
— value growth in dollar since 2017
In spite of dissention within its ranks, economic troubles in the southern Eurozone, and the uncertain future of a post-Brexit European Union, the Euro performed strongly against the dollar in the last year, with the dollar losing 3.76 percent of its value in Euros. Nevertheless, ease of access, reasonable airfares, and relatively modest costs of goods, services, and meals, leaves the nations of the European Union an affordable option for budget-conscious travelers planning relatively brief visits.
