Best Places to Go for St. Patrick’s Day

stpaddys2When you think about where to go to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, you probably automatically think of a couple of places – namely, anywhere in Ireland (of course), followed closely by New York (probably). But there are lots of cities around the globe that are noted for their St. Patrick’s Day festivities – and if you’re a budget traveler you might be more interested in seeking out the cheapest place to go rather than getting your heart set on a destination only to find out it’s the most expensive.

Even if you’re not a super budget traveler, you might just prefer the idea of doing something a little less predictable for St. Patrick’s Day. And just because you’re not going to New York or Dublin doesn’t mean you’ll have to make your own green beer. On the contrary, there are plenty of cities with big-time celebrations.

So here are some of the best places to go for St. Patrick’s Day – some of which you’d be smart to consider for potentially cheaper airfare.

How to Find Cheap Airfare to the Champions League Final

Whether you’re a soccer/football fan or not, if you’re a sports fan who likes to travel you can probably appreciate the excitement of seeing the final game of a big tournament while you’re traveling. Of course if you’re so into the sport that you make a point of traveling just to attend the game, that’s a whole other level of commitment – and one we heartily support.

With the Champions League final, although the two teams who will play each year aren’t known until close to game day, the date and location of the game itself are set well in advance. This is important for Champions League organizers, but it’s equally as important for travelers who need to plan their trips to see the game.

Lucky for you, we’ve got some tips to help you find cheap airfare to see the Champions League final (or any of the other games leading up to it) no matter where it’s being played – especially since Champions League tickets will cost you a fair bit to start with.
