Euro vacations: Beating the weak dollar

With the greenback at record lows, summer vacation in Europe can be budget-crushing. But there are ways to ease the pain.

Buying a bundled package is almost always cheaper than putting the pieces of a trip together yourself because package operators can take advantage of volume discounts.

A six day tour of Florence, including air fare, four nights in a hotel, daily breakfast and airline fuel surcharges is $1,439 per person in July at Gate1travel.com. Separately, the airfare alone is $1,200 to $1,400. (See more at Gate1travel.com.)

Other European travel package providers include Go-Today.com and EuropeASP.com. Go-Today.com is offering a six-night trip to Athens and Mykonos, including air fare and hydrofoil transportation to the beautiful island beaches of Mykonos starting at $1,809 per person this summer.
