Europe is an expensive holiday destination. Everyone dreams of visiting Europe but their budget may not allow them. However, there are places in Europe, especially the Eastern side, where you get to experience the culture of Europe and can spend an enjoyable time there.
One great place to visit is Dubrovnik in Croatia. The place may be cheap to visit but the sandy beaches and sunny days will rival any of the famed beach destinations of the world. Plus you get to see the charming side of Europe with cobbled streets and charming quaint houses.
Another name to remember is Krakow in Poland. You get to have the place all to yourselves. Tourists are yet to discover it. So walk through the small town and enjoy the unspoiled environment and relax at the many cafes dotted throughout the area.
Kosice in Slovakia is another good choice. Hardly touched by tourists, it retains the charm of Europe and is affordable for everyone.
