We recently told you it’s a great time to go to Europe because the Euro is weak. Now, TripAdvisor is revealing that travel expenses to some popular European destinations have decreased on average of 11 percent year over year.
Its TripIndex evaluates the primary expenses of a trip, including a seven-night hotel stay and the average roundtrip airfare from the U.S. It finds that Zurich is the most expensive destination at around $3,200, but says prices have fallen 9 percent since last summer.
Compared to last year, Moscow has seen the biggest year-over-year decline in hotel rates: last year the average price was $146 and now it’s $84. Last summer, the average nightly rate for a European hotel booked on TripAdvisor was $164, while this year it is $133.
Roundtrip flights from the U.S. to the index’s destinations cost $1,448 on average for travel between June and August. During the same time last year, it was $1,579.
