Current exchange rates make &euro;1 Euro worth about $1.55 U.S. dollars.  So, it&#8217;s important for travelers to know which European countries use the Euro, which don&#8217;t, and how to stretch their <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Europe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europe<\/a> travel budgets.  Don&#8217;t let the rising prices of fuel and state of the world get you down!<\/p>\n<p>The euro (its currency sign is &euro;) is the official currency of the European Union, or EU.  It is used in 15 EU member states, known collectively as the <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Eurozone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eurozone<\/a>: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.  EU countries that do not use the Euro include Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.  <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Slovakia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slovakia<\/a> is expected to be the next country to switch over to the Euro, which should occur in 2009.<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Currency rates fluctuate daily and are affected by national and world events.  As a result, it&#8217;s difficult to predict exactly how strong the U.S. dollar will be against the Euro and other European currencies at any given time.  Still, travelers who want to ensure good value for their European vacation dollars this summer have some options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 Tips to Get the Most of the Euro on your Summer Holiday in Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/images\/articles\/eurotown.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Croatia \" title=\"Croatia\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\" align=\"right\" \/>Focus      on the countryside instead of the major cities.  Traveling the scenic      country roads and through the historic smaller towns of Europe      can provide better value than expensive cities.  Eastern European      countries such as <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Croatia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Croatia<\/a> may also provide a more affordable vacation.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/images\/articles\/eurocruise.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Mediterranean Cruise\" title=\"Mediterranean Cruise\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"88\" align=\"right\" \/>Cruise      your way through Europe.  A cruise      of the Mediterranean, the <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Greek%20Isles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greek Isles<\/a> or the Baltic       Sea is a wonderful way to see beautiful coastal scenery,      landmarks and cities. There are also exceptional cruise opportunities to      be found on some of Europe&#8217;s major rivers like the Rhine and the <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/Danube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Danube<\/a>. No matter which type of cruise appeals to      you most, you&#8217;ll also have the advantage of paying for your cruise &#8211; which      includes accommodations, meals and lots of shipboard amenities &#8211; in U.S.      dollars.<\/li>\n<li>However      you choose to see Europe, work with a      travel professional.  A travel expert knows how to find the most      affordable ways to see Europe, whether      through tour packages, special discounts or lesser-known destinations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more info on booking your trip to Europe, don&#8217;t forget to visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stonypointtravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.StonyPointTravel.com<\/a> .<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current exchange rates make &euro;1 Euro worth about $1.55 U.S. dollars.
