Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel Delivers !. Review on Budget Travel

Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine,now owned by Newsweek,is a long established,reliable,highly respected, magazine. The aim of this bi-monthly is to inform readers on the best forms of affordable travel.It is not the sort of publication loaded with articles describing trips made by the writer rather it is explicitly slated at the traveler who is both well informed and not interested in puffery.It is also not geared to the young backpacker nor the senior traveler per se,it is actually suited to the interests of readers of all age groups.

This magazine gives the readers the practical information they are likely to need- addresses,telephone numbers,prices,schedules and such like.Recent articles featured include such pieces as The Cheapest Places on Earth :Natchez Mississippi, Budget Skiing in Quebec's Eastern Township,The Saving Graces of South Beach and Pennywise Prague. Prague,a city I have visited twice,was superbly covered from the standpoint of a frugal visitor in the latter article.

The author David Angell gave the lay of the land so the prospective visitor would soon get a grasp of the geography of the place,looked at economical entertainment,the budget lodging picture, old town finds, and contained plenty of practical information.to assist the reader in making decisions about what to do,where to stay or,where to eat in this glorious European city. This authoritative magazine is one of the very best as regards budget travel. and is very moderately priced. It costs a mere US$15 for six issues,which in my book is real value for money. It perhaps does not have too many competitors,ones that I can recall are Big World ,Trips and Transitions Abroad. For all those folk keen on travel but at affordable prices then this splendid publication should be one of your preferred guides.
