Publisher's Synopsis
"Full of good tips and suggestions." — Chicago Tribune "Packed with information on how to eat and sleep without depleting your bank account" — Louisville Courier Are You Ready to Travel Smart? If you′d like to get the most out of your dollar and your trip, this is the guide for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you how to see the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic way—the way the locals do. Instead of spending $300 a night for a chain hotel, why not stay in Virginia Woolf′s childhood home for just $150 a night, or bed down in a private home in central London for $45 a night? Or how about paying only $6.50 for a classic fish and chips meal at the Fryer′s Delight, so you′ll have money left over for an elegant high tea at the British Museum for just $17, half of what you′d pay elsewhere? Let me show you the "other" London—the one only insiders know about. Volunteer to help to build a burrow for hedgehogs with the London Wildlife Trust, or spend an afternoon watching the political brawls at Parliament. These are only a few of the great ways to get closer to the culture of London. Read on for more! Happy Travels, Pauline Frommer www.frommers.com/pauline
