In my 100+ trips to Europe, I have learned quite a bit. I have learned how to save money and time on airfares, hotels, tours, meals, and transportation. But I never pinch pennies at the expense of comfort. For instance, I would not choose to save $200 on a flight if the savings meant that I would need multiple connections or endure 24+ hour flights over a direct flight. I would not choose to stay in a hostel outside of city limits over a centrally located comfortable hotel just to save 25 euros a night. Check out The Professor's practical travel tips to save time and money on your next international trip to Europe.
