Budgetplaces.com goes Carnival: Hotels in Cologne Salzburg and Florence

The Barcelona based on-line booking portal for budget accommodation continues to succeed and announces Cologne, Salzburg and Florence in its offered destinations – Budget hotels, hostels, apartments and b&bs from less than €30 close to Cologne Carnival, Salzburg Festival or Florence’s Campanile di Giotto tower are now available on Budgetplaces.com.

Barcelona, 9th of October, 2009 – Budgetplaces.com, leading on-line portal for travel accommodation at budget rates, once again expands its network of destinations, this time in Germany, Austria and Italy. Hotels, hostels, apartments and bed and breakfasts at a target rate of €30 per person per night are now available in Cologne, Salzburg and Florence. The striking success of the “€30 pppn concept” and a steadily increasing number of enquiries on the hotelier side were the reasons for speeding up the launch of the new destinations on www.budgetplaces.com.

The start in Cologne comes just in time for the world famous annual Cologne Carnival which starts on the 11th of November. One more reason to visit charming Cologne, along with the countless events and monuments in Germany’s fourth largest city. Located just south of the German border is Salzburg, one of Austria’s baroque city gems and the setting of the ever popular “Sound of Music” movie. The Salzburg Festival which is held every summer has acquired a world wide reputation, yet Salzburg, birth town of Mozart, also offers a rich cultural programme all year round. As does Florence, capital of Italy’s stunningly beautiful Tuscany region and home to one third of the world’s most important art works, according to UNESCO.
