With summer fast approaching and a host of festivals slated for
spring/summer 2015 all across Europe, travel experts are predicting a
busy time for travellers.
Hostelling International, the only global network of Youth Hostel Associations, is encouraging members to build an itinerary around the Europe festival route for 2015. With 4,000 hostels around the world, Hostelling International members can save a further 10% on the cost of an already very affordable accommodation option.
Focusing on 'coast and culture', Hostelling International has revealed some of their top picks for the 2015 festival route in Europe.
France: Cannes - Cannes Film Festival May13th-24th
Rub shoulders with the glitterati at the world's most famous cinema event.
