A parametrization of the real photon structure function $F_2^\gamma$ in the low $Q^2$, low $x$ region is formulated. It includes both the vector meson dominance (VMD) and the QCD components, the latter suitably extrapolated to the low $Q^2$ region and based on arbitrary parton distributions in the photon. The parametrization used together with the Gluck, Reya, and Vogt (GRV) and Gluck, Reya, and Schienbein (GRS) parton densities describes reasonably well the existing high energy data on $F_2^\gamma$, $\sigma_{\gamma\gamma}$, and the low $Q^2$ data on $\sigma_{\gamma^* \gamma}$. Predictions for $\sigma_{\gamma\gamma}$ and for $\sigma_{\gamma^*\gamma}$ for energies which may become accessible in future linear colliders are also given.
