Europe the European Way : A Traveler's Guide to Living Affordably in the World's Great Cities Book

Europe the European Way shows how one-to-six month visits to Europe are still affordable for North Americans, once they learn to think like residents, not tourists. The author describes how he was able to stay in appealing surroundings, dine and live well and visit world-class attractions on a budget of $2,000/month for two. This well-researched guide is laced with anecdotes from the author's journeys, and the reader follows Gollattscheck's trail through Europe as he learns how to live abroad. London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Nice are among the cities included. There is detailed advice on finding housing, acquiring telephone and mail service, making contacts with helpful expatriate organizations and other recommended resources, costs of goods and services, strategies for saving money, the best options for dining in or out, various free and affordable cultural and entertainment opportunities, and daytrips to notable areas in the vicinity. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 242 pages, paperback
