There is excellent news for US citizens who are keen to travel Europe. As of Wednesday 20th July 2022, the US dollar and Euro are now equal (a 1:1 exchange rate) for the first time since 2002 – handing US travellers the keys to unlock Europe and explore with a 5% discount on purchases<\/a> (compared to last year\u2019s exchange rate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, these 19 Euro-using countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With adventurous energy still in the legs post-pandemic, this is prime time to cash in on European travel. So whether it\u2019s spending an extra day on a sun-kissed Greek island, securing front row seats to a Viennese concert, or sipping endless Tuscan wine from countryside vineyards – your new Euros can take you far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since you\u2019re blessed with options, here are 6 hot destinations to start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US dollar and Euro are equal – 6 places to cash in<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Italy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

American actress, Mariska Hargitay quotes: \u201cItalian culture is so deeply soaked in an appreciation of the good things in life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we\u2019d have to agree. Italy\u2019s roaming countryside hills, gladiatorial Roman past and quaint towns are even more appealing in light of the US dollar and Euro news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

US locals craving Italian life can now shout \u2018ciao bella\u2019 to extra time basking in Sorrento\u2019s sun, unwinding on the Amalfia coast or searching for the best bolognese rag\u00f9 alla bolognese in Bologna. And don\u2019t forget to pick up some Tuscan truffle oil to take home (it will change the way you eat spaghetti forever). So whatever your taste for Italy, the strength of your new Euro is too good to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Porto,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Portugal\u2019s stunning coastal viewpoints, pastel-hued streets, soulful Fado music and iconic pasteis de nata (custard tarts) stick in the memory of all who experience them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guess what? A few extra Euros lets you immerse yourself deeper into the country\u2019s heart. From the colourful capital Lisbon to sleepy coastal fishing villages and foothill towns, you can leave no stone unturned. So venture off-the-beaten track for a stud ranch lunch in rural Alentejo, where Lusitano horses were once reared by King Jo\u00e3o VI in the 18th century. Gaze at Gothic architecture Batalha monastery. Stroll through bright green vineyards where Port is made and purchase a bottle to share with friends back home. Or journey to Nazar\u00e9 to picture tsunami sized waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We could go on: so discover more ideas on our Best of Portugal tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Republic of Ireland may not be the first destination that springs to mind after the US dollar and euro parity. But \u2018The Emerald Isle\u2019 is full of natural bliss, historic sights and local charm – making it \u2018good craic\u2019 for all first-time visitors. Especially those in the mood for a creamy Guinness (or 3) at a traditional Irish pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature-lover or not, we recommend heading over to the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. Stretching 14 kilometres long and standing over 700 feet tall in the Atlantic ocean, you can marvel at its spine-tingling aura and pinch yourself coastal views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cliffs<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back in Dublin, St Patrick\u2019s Catholic Cathedral (founded in 1191) demands a visit. As do the local shops on Grafton street. Here, you must pick up a locally-made tweed jacket, hat and scarf to add some culture to your winter wardrobe back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunities are endless in Ireland – and there\u2019s only one way to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Gaudi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spain is even more sensual with freedom to explore. US travellers can savour Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s famous La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell to their heart\u2019s content, before basking on Barcelona\u2019s beaches to reflect it on all. Elsewhere, sample regional wines and world-famous dishes restaurant-hopping on San Sebasti\u00e1n\u2019s a calle 31 de Agosto street. Or venture into Madrid\u2019s Prado Museum (home to the largest collection of European art in the world). Here, we suggest spending your Euros on some authentic espadrilles (as you won\u2019t find cheaper and better quality ones anywhere else)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, know that quaint market towns, monasteries, ancient pilgrimage routes and crumbling medieval fortresses also present limitless exploration. And that\u2019s right: the 1:1 US dollar and Euro ratio makes it wonderfully stress-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History and music lovers hit heaven in Germany and Austria. Perched in a 13-century castle above Germany\u2019s Rhine Valley, you can enjoy tales of <\/p>\n\n\n\n

knights and feuding lords and ladies (told by locals) over lunch. Plus uncover World War secrets at the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough\u2026 you can tread the footsteps of the Von Trapp family in Salzburg, Austria, where the \u2018The Sound of Music\u2019 film was born. Or explore Salzburg\u2019s 76 glacier lakes and mountain-side towns, which hang tantalisingly into the green scenery below. And before you leave, remember to sit in one of Vienna\u2019s magical concert halls to hear the world\u2019s best renditions of Mozart. And buy a German beer stein or Austria lederhosen to star in future parties home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every traveller dreams of an island escape. But now, the US dollar and euro news means your sunny retreat can actually become reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkled white-washed buildings, spotless shiny beaches, coastal views, and gorgeous alfresco dining – the Greek islands fit the bill for some headspace. We suggest exploring Mykonos\u2019s winding labyrinthine lanes, beautiful beach walks and historic churches. Before sauntering over to Santorini, where you can learn about the art of winemaking and gobble up delicious Greek dishes<\/a>. Or (for a true bucket-list experience): choose to swim in hot springs on the volcanic island of Nea Kameni. Before you pack, pick up some delicious Greek coffee, herbs, spices and Cretan mountain tea to take a slice of Greece home with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
