Launched in March 1999, EuropeanHostels was one of the Web's first European hostel and budget-hotel directories. The site's purpose hasn't changed since we went live. We aim to supply budget-conscious travelers with the information they need to keep their European adventures affordable and fun. We're hoping to help everyone, especially young adults, realize that traveling in Europe is not limited only to those with big budgets. By demonstrating how to keep it cheap, we aim to encourage more travel abroad. And hey, we're trying to make it fun, too. We hope that you enjoy visiting the site as much as we enjoy making it. EuropeanHostels is owned and operated by Over There Interactive, Inc. Our home office is in New York City, though we spend much of the year traveling Europe to keep things fresh.
