go on a vacation on off peak seasons. That way airfares and hotel
accommodations are much cheaper, and you also save yourself from enjoying
the tourist spots of the country you are visiting.

Germany is pretty bad with upwards of $100. France and Italy are much lower. So, check some different options if you are flexible with arrival and departure airport and you can save a lot – and there’s always the added benefit of seeing another city and taking a cheap European flight to get to your original destination.
