Affordable Student Vacations

The economic recession may have made planning vacations tougher, although it’s also brought the price of airline tickets and some of the world’s most popular hotels down considerably. Now you can fly to Madrid, Spain for the price of flying from New York City to San Francisco. Travel deals abound to some of the earth’s most exciting corners — Madrid, Las Vegas and Buenos Aires, to name a few. If you’re feeling adventurous and have a couple grand lying around, then why not see what the travel companies have to offer?

Madrid vacations are rewarding for students who’ve had a hard semester that involved more libraries than wild parties. You’ll find many of the daily traditions appealing in Spain. For instance, there are afternoon “siestas,” where the cafes fill up with locals who need a break for lunch, conversation and resting. Later, after dinner, the Spanish like to stroll through the streets on evening “paseos” (walks). The heart of the city, Puerta Del Sol, is filled with diverse shops and world-renowned restaurants. While in town, you can visit the Prado Museum, the El Escorial Palace and the Museum of Natural Sciences. Madrid travel within the city is easy using the inexpensive and efficient metro line. Hostels can be found for as low as $19/night, which will help you meet other travelers and have the best spring break possible. Even though Madrid is 3 1/2 hours from the nearest beach, which is in Valencia, you will find much to do in this metropolitan playground.

Another one of the surprisingly affordable spring break vacations is Las Vegas. They’re well-known for all-inclusive vacation packages that offer travelers a 10-15% savings. If you can believe it, there is a hostel in Vegas on Fremont Street with a swimming pool and a hot tub! USA Hostels offers all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts, wireless internet, Sunday barbecues, day trips to the Grand Canyon and numerous activities for as low as $19/night. Another great bet for Vegas discount hotels is the Sin City hostel, which caters specifically to spring breakers with a young and rowdy crowd and starts at $17/night. There are also many Las Vegas hotels for under $50 if you’re looking for a little more privacy. While in town, you’re not relegated to just spending tons of money gambling. In fact, you can walk through just about any hotel/casino and marvel at the architecture, catch a host of free shows and soak up the excitement of the city that never sleeps.

One last place to look for great travel deals and vacations is Buenos Aires, which is located in Argentina. There are a number of special spring break travel packages at www.toursgonewild.com, which will help you see and do everything in the short time that you’re there. Well, okay, maybe you can’t do everything… but you’ll see a number of famous attractions and participate in a great deal of diverse activities, at the very least! Buenos Aires packages start at $1,749 and include round-trip airline tickets, hotel accommodations, nightclub entry with VIP/front-of-the-line access, transportation to and from the clubs, a half-day tour of the city, daily breakfast buffets, as well as all taxes and fees.
