Oftentimes, Americans are criticized for taking European vacations that jump around, visiting some of the world's greatest cities for only 2-3 days owing to the short vacation allowances of American jobs. Most rectify this by taking one European trip a year, covering a city for seven days rather than getting just a taste, but not everyone can afford an annual cross-pond trip. With this in mind, we found an awesome deal on Travelzoo, one that'll get you to flights, hotels and breakfasts in London, Paris and Rome for around $1,000 from JFK (other cities are available).

Although you'll only have two nights in each of the cities, if you've never been to Europe and suffer from the curse of brief vacation time, then this could be the perfect holiday gift to yourself (or your special someone). Travelzoo found departure dates in March that all ring in around $930, with tax the total comes to $1115.

 We agree with T-zoo in their claim that typically this is the cost of just the airfare between the cities, if you're careful, but their deal includes all flights between the cities, accommodation, hotel breakfasts and taxes.  It's true that Europe is still expensive—shaking fist at the Euro—but not having to worry about piecing together each trip segment without going overbudget should help out. Now book it, print out the confirmation email and put it in a card, and watch your giftee's eyes widen with the promise of Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and Roman Ruins when they open their only present this holiday.
