travel on the cheap

It's that time of year: the weather warms up, spring fever takes hold and the desire to get the hell out of town is, like cherry blossoms and Nirvana songs, in bloom. Then you remember that your sorry ass is still broke, having spent all your hard-earned(?) money on the new X-Box 360 or someshit.

Good news—our homies at The New York Times are here to help. Check out this guide to traveling in Europe on a tight budget. It takes a separate look at a dozen-or-so cities, but be warned: The Times' idea of a budget may not be the same as yours, and no matter how you slice it up, the dollar is in the toilet and Europe ain't cheap, kids.
