Manage Expenses on a European Vacation

A vacation to Europe can be affordable or expensive, and it all depends on your travel preferences.

Transportation

     One of the best things about Europe is that you can go country-hopping by car. As long as you’re proficient with right-hand driving, you’ll have greater – possibly cheaper as well – means of exploring the best Europe has to offer. Fuel could be a huge drain on your money, but not if you choose the ideal car for travel; another thing you should keep inTrain station mind is that diesel costs less than gas in Europe. Lastly, take your time shopping for car rental rates to save on insurance and other rental-related fees.

     If you don’t feel like driving, you can opt for train or rail passes. Train rides in UK can be quite costly, but they’re very cheap when you find yourself in Italy. Finally, there’s always the alternative of walking. It’s tiring but costs you nothing and when you find yourself in the beautiful cities of Venice, Rome, Paris, Cornwall, and Heidelberg, you may think that walking is the best option after all.

Accommodations

     The cost of lodgings will, again, depend on your preferences. Summer in the Mediterranean regions like Italy and Greece can be especially hot and this might prompt you to pay more for air-conditioned rooms, lobbies, and restaurants.

     Studios, condo units, cottages, cabins, and the likes are also available for transients, but you’d do better to book them in advance. It could be hard to negotiate when you’re an American in Holland and you’ll have to overcome huge language barriers.

     Naturally, you can expect to pay less if you’re willing to rough it out and enjoy the quaint charm of traditional living in the European countryside. Authentic traditions, however, can be quite expensive, too, if you insist on renting out a room in an honest-to-goodness castle in Scotland or maybe a chateau in England and France.

Food and Dining

     First-time travelers, beware: restaurants located in less popular and populated areas arerestaurant actually more expensive than those in tourist-friendly areas like Brussels, Milan, and Madrid. Nevertheless, if you’re worried about draining your pockets too much, there are always tapas, snack bars, and the likes scattered all over Europe. They may not offer air-conditioned rooms to relieve you from the heat outside, but at least they’ll allow you to extend your vacation a day or two.

     Vegetarians might have difficulties looking for restaurants catering to their preferences in Spain. Wine, overall, costs cheaper than what you’d expect to pay here in the US and, you can definitely expect to pay less and enjoy more if you’re willing to try out traditional cuisine or local dishes and the likes.

How to Lower Expenses for Your European Vacation

      To end this with a perfect note, we’ll let you on a couple of secrets to keep your vacation expenses low while exploring Europe.

  • Be multilingual. Take the time and effort to know simple words and phrases of the local language. It’s hard to get advice about the best places to shop or dine when you can’t understand each other.

  • Don’t convert your money. Rather, just obtain cash from ATMs or pay by credit card. It saves you from paying conversion fees.

  • Use prepaid phone cards. It costs less than maintaining your postpaid subscription while you go around backpacking in Europe.

Florida’s Busch Gardens Africa

Located in 335 acres of land, the Busch Gardens Africa is an African-themed fun park that features a number of wild life exhibits. This 19th century modern safari is located in Tampa, Florida.

The Busch Gardens Africa opened in March 31, 1959 and served as a hospitality facility, free of admission, for the local brewery called the Tampa Anheuser-Busch. Visitors of the theme park can watch animal acts placed in a tropical environment and even enter the beer garden where free Busch beers are offered to enjoy.

However, the manufacturing plant shut down some years later and the Busch Gardens focused more and more on its exotic animals, tropical landscape and amusement attractions to attract visitors. Since then, the Busch Gardens began charging admission fees and extra charges for their rides, including their famous roller coasters. Presently, the Busch Gardens Africa charges comparable fees with other theme parks found in Florida.

Wildlife Exhibits

The Serengeti Plains of the Busch Gardens Africa opened in 1965 and is the first of its kind to exhibit animals freely roaming the area. The animal habitat is home to a number of wild animals including the bongo, addax, reticulated giraffe, impala, marabou stork, ostrich, Grevy’s zebra, eland, addra gazelle, sacred ibis and the East African crowned crane.

Another exhibit the park has is the Edge of Africa, which opened in 1997. This is a walkthrough attraction where guests can observe several African wild animals. Animals in the exhibit include a pack of hyenas, a troop of lemurs, a pride of lions, meerkats and a few hippos.

The Curiosity Caverns is another attraction of the park that features animals, such as: porcupines, bats, sugar gliders, snakes and lizards. This cavern exhibit is also formerly known as the Nocturnal Mountain.

Lastly, guests can view chimpanzees and lowland gorillas at the Myombe Reserve. The exhibit is located on 3 acres of land at the Nairobi area of the Busch Gardens Africa.

Areas of the Busch Gardens Africa

The Busch Gardens Africa is divided into several areas that are individually and uniquely themed. Such areas include the Bird Gardens, Morocco, Stanleyville, Congo, Land of the Dragons, Nairobi and Crown Colony, to mention a few.

The Bird Gardens is the original area of the park that opened in 1959. The Bird Gardens contains a major attraction called the Gwazi. In addition, the area is also used as a venue for bird shows, which include a number of mammals.

The Morocco is located at the main entrance of the Busch Gardens Africa. The area is home to Morocco’s Mystic Shieks percussion and brass ensemble. Guests can purchase treats at the area’s Zagora Café and Sultan’s Sweets. The area also features the Moroccan Palace and an outdoor Marrakesh Theater.

The area where guests can find the park’s water slides and the roller coaster SheiKra is at the Stanleyville. Attractions and rides at this area include the Stanley Falls Flume, Tanganyika Tidal Wave and the SheiKra.
