Tourists looking for a cool and economical way to travel in Europe have a hip new option. Starting at just 5 euros per day (about $6) during the week and 11 to 14 euros per day (about $13 to $16) on weekends, travelers to London, Amsterdam, Vienna and major cities in France, Germany and Switzerland can get behind the wheel of a two-passenger Smart City Coupe. The wee 8-ft.-long cars, which make the Mini Cooper feel like a limo, have surprisingly roomy seats and are eco-friendly and fuel efficient. Best of all, their petite size makes parking a breeze, even on the most car-packed streets. Book two weeks in advance at www. sixti.com --By Lisa McLaughlin
