If you had travel goals on your New Year’s resolution list, I have good news for you. The dollar is historically strong against the euro right now, making a trip abroad less costly.

Compared to a few years ago, you can save up to 25 percent on a trip to Europe thanks to the exchange rate. The dollar is stronger against the euro than it has been in over a decade. In addition, thanks to lower occupancy at hotels in major destinations, you can expect even further discounts beyond the strong exchange rates.

You can begin to explore these new value traveling options with these five affordable and beautiful destinations.

For the City Life: Lisbon, Portugal

With its hills and historic street cars, Lisbon can feel like the San Francisco of Europe. While it has the laid-back charm and mild weather of SF, the Portuguese capital is much older and cheaper.

The affordability stands out especially compared to other capital cities in Europe, like Paris or London. Hotels come at decent rates, and you can eat and drink delicious Portuguese dishes, like fresh seafood or port wine, for great prices. A bottle of wine often hovers around $15 at an upscale restaurant, and you can enjoy an ice-cold beer for about $1 and change in one of the city’s many outdoor kiosk cafes.

For the Food: Palermo, Italy

Fewer tourists, better food: for many, that’s how Sicily stacks up to more popular destinations in Italy, like Florence and Venice. Make the trip to the Mediterranean island off the boot of mainland Italy, and you’ll dine on pasta alla norma (the traditional eggplant pasta) and cannoli.

Sicily also has a rich history, being settled by the Greeks, Romans, Moors, Normans, and more, which you can explore in Palermo. According to Airbnb, Palermo is one of the least expensive spots in Europe to rent an apartment, coming in at an average of $45 per night.

For the Wine: Bordeaux, France

With neoclassical architecture, pedestrian-friendly streets, and world-class food and wine, Bordeaux is an immersion in the decadent beauty France has to offer, at a price much cheaper than Paris. In fact, almost seven square miles of the city is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the largest urban site in the world.

 Most famous for its wine, the Bordeaux regions offers endless experiences for wine-lovers. Within the city, you can take a two-hour workshop at the Bordeaux Wine School for about $40 (available during the summer), where you’ll learn all about the grapes, soil, and other characteristics of Bordeaux wine. You can also skip a class and purchase glasses for about $2 each.

For the Beach and Culture: San Sebastian, Spain

Located in Spain’s Basque country, San Sebastian offers you a chance to have two vacations in one: a relaxing beach getaway and an adventurous cultural immersion. Chosen as a 2016 European Capital of Culture, San Sebastian boasted its museum and other social offerings, which you can still enjoy in 2017.

For the History: Athens, Greece

Seeing the Acropolis makes the bucket lists of any history buff. Luckily, you can see that and the many world-class museums Athens has to offer without putting much of a dent in your bank account.

For a cost-efficient tour (as in free), download Rick Steves’ Europe Android or iPhone app and choose among his Athens walking tours. After a hot day of sightseeing, enjoy a cold and inexpensive Alpha beer. And when evening comes, feast at an affordable plaka restaurant for ouzo and traditional fare.
