Poland at $390 RT

Poland is quite the underrated country when it comes to European travel. While everyone stands in hours-long lines to see the sights in Paris, picturesque towns like this one outside Warsaw stay serene (and affordable).

Those low prices really come in handy once the festive season rolls around — Polish Christmas markets are some of the best on the continent. The hearty local cuisine is just perfect for chilly weather! They have so many yummy stews and dumplings, you can match them to the timing of your visit.

And while being sandwiched (pierogi-ed?) between seven other countries might cause Poland to fly under the radar, that also means its well-connected!

A non-stop anywhere in Central Europe at this price is a steal. So if you'd rather take that pierogi to go, you can hop a train and get all around Poland, up to Lithuania, down to Croatia, out to Berlin or Prague... all at this low Polish price :-)
