Free at Last! Free Things to Do in Europe

Monday July 21, 2008
Jacy Meyer of Europe String chimes in with a list of Free City Tours in some European capitals. Laura Porter gives us Free Things to Do in the City of London, Shannon McAlister adds Amsterdam for Free, and Damian Corrigan is often found lurking around tapas bars offering free eats, so he's qualified to write about Free Spain Stuff.

You already know the free stuff in Rome, don't you?

When budgeting your European vacation always remember that the best things in life are often free, like visiting an open air market, hiking the interesting countryside in a wine region, or finding a wad of Euros floating around in the pocket of an unsuspecting tourist and spending them on an overpriced meal in a restaurant. (Sorry, ed., I got carried away there.)

So, the moral of this story is: don't lose sleep over plans to pinch pennies--don't spend any at all!

No I haven’t. It’s a bit outside the territory I cover. I try to stick to places I can write about.
