There are wide discrepancies when it comes to paid holidays in countries that belong to the European Union. Finland offers 39 days of total leave, which includes annual leave and public holidays. At the other end of the spectrum, the UK (tied with the Netherlands) offers just 28 paid days off each year!
Unfortunately, workers in the UK haven't been able to take proper holidays due to the economic slowdown. Outgoing flights have fallen by nearly ten percent as most tourists settle for something called a staycation. The word staycation is a neologism and a portmanteau word. It simply means going on holiday at home to save money.
Since the basic rule of travel has always been the farther you go, the more you spend, taking a trip in the UK is a good option for cash-strapped citizens. But just because they're cheaper, doesn't mean that they have to be dull. In fact, very cheap holidays are often more memorable and special than luxury tours. Where should you go?
People in the UK have a distinct advantage over residents of other European countries. Namely, they have three other countries in their own backyard they can visit on a shoestring budget.
