Traveling can be an expensive adventure, but fortunately, it does not need to be like that. There are many tips and tricks you can use in order to save some bucks, but still have an amazing time on your vacation.
From travel options to affordable accommodation, all you need is a good plan and investing some time in organizing a nice trip. We are here to help with our list of trending destinations for a memorable trip on a budget.
1. General tips
Before we start talking about places you can visit, let us give you some friendly tips that can be useful for any destination you choose. Firstly, you probably already know this, but it is not bad to give you a quick reminder.
Traveling off-season is usually a fair bit cheaper than traveling during peak season. If you do not care that much about seasonal activities, strictly summer vacations, or winter wonderland vibes, you are in a great position to save some money.
Another bonus thing when traveling off-season is that the touristy season is finished, which means no more crowds (or at least, no more large crowds) and waiting in lines to see whatever you want.
While we are at the tourist thing, another tip. Try to avoid touristy places, as they tend to be quite expensive. Every destination can offer much more than a few sightseeing tours. Explore the place on Bookmundi, take notes on interesting things you would like to see there and make your own tour.
The deal with choosing the right accommodation is also related to the season in question. More and more places offer better deals off-season, so you can even book a luxurious place for less. Look for Amex and Chase Concierge services for information on special deals for certain credit cards, and more information.
On the other hand, think how much time will you really spend indoors. It might not be that important to have a hot tub in the suite or the room, but it is important that it is safe, clean, and comfy.
So look for these things when researching, you can always get a really nice and affordable place on sites like Airbnb.
2. Destinations
2.1. Czech Republic
This European country offers amazing architecture, and the spirit of old times is deeply embedded in its streets. On the other hand, the nightlife is also on a bigger level, besides, this country is most famous for beer making.
This country, like many European ones, is not that expensive. They have their currency, so you do not have to use Euro (which is nowadays almost equal in worth to USD) and therefore, makes everything a bit more affordable.
You can look for cheaper flights, or if you make a European tour, you can always go by bus or train.
2.2. Italy
The pasta land is waiting for you! Italy can in some cases be more expensive, but that is mostly in relation to transportation. It depends on where you are traveling from, so keep an eye on plane ticket discounts.
Look for places that are not that popular, but are equally gorgeous. Rooms and Airbnbs are a lot cheaper than hotels, so keep that in mind. Italy is a beautiful country that has everything – from delicious foods to rich cultural life that is bathed in renaissance feels.
2.3. Greece
Mediterranean culture and cuisine are the epitomes of Greece. You can get cheap drinks and delicious street food on every corner. Even if you are not traveling there in the summer, a nice walk on the beach is always relaxing and fun.
You do not have to break the bank to eat like a king in Greece. Their meals are rich, nutritious, and flavorful, and the portions are huge. There are a lot of options for meat lovers out there, but Greek cuisine is also adaptable for people who do not eat meat.
There are organized Greek nights with food, drinks, and traditional music that will not cost much but will offer a full-on experience for anyone.
Wherever you chose to go, we wish you a safe journey. Remember that you can have fun even if you are on a budget. Memories you make on the vacation are priceless. Enjoy your time off.
