Will Europe be on sale this summer?

With Europe in the midst of a major financial crisis, will U.S. travelers heading across the pond find incredible deals?

Yes, possibly in a few countries. Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain—the worst hit countries should—have some deals. USA Today reports:

...travel agents are seeing potential bargains in these countries in everything from airfares, hotels and restaurants, to in-country transportation and visits to key tourist sites.

The agents also regard these four nations as potentially cheaper to visit this summer than three other top tourist European destinations: Britain, France and Italy.

But while you might find great rates on hotels in these countries, you probably won't score bargain prices on flights to get you there. Airfares are on the rise and this trend is expected to continue through the summer.
