Gone are the carefree days of yesteryear when strong-dollar wielding Americans indulged their Old World travel cravings at whim. Today’s would-be pond-hoppers are instead up against an evermore powerful euro that has wreaked havoc on the greenback’s value abroad, as well as rising fuel costs that have translated to sky-high transatlantic airfares. Still, these economic hurdles have done little to quell our hankerings for Europe's rich culture, history, architecture, and cuisine. Happily, there are alternative locales oozing with European flair conveniently spread across the Americas, where travelers can get a taste of Europe, without having to stomach the euro – or having to combat jet lag for that matter, with many of our picks within long-weekend striking distance.
