Here’s a list of 4 budget-friendly destinations you need to visit.

1. Mexico City, Mexico

The first stop on our list is in the southern part of North America. Mexico City is one popular destination in the country and for a good reason. Whether you’re a foodie, a nature lover, or someone who wants to explore culture and heritage, this place has something for you. 

The city is vibrant and culture-packed with a historic downtown where you can walk through centuries of history. It also features glorious architecture that ranges from ancient to colonial and contemporary ones. 

Mexico City is also home to some of the best restaurants and nightclubs in the country, as well as the known Xochimilco floating gardens! And do you know that the second-largest city square in the world is here? If these aren’t enough reasons for you, here are other things you can visit and experience in Mexico City:

  • UNESCO heritage sites
  • Gorgeous museums and art galleries
  • Mouth-watering cuisines
  • Majestic volcanoes.

2. Machu Picchu, Peru

If you want to experience a place with a lot of natural and cultural treasures, then consider going for a hike to Machu Picchu. You’ll be awestruck not only by its fascinating history but also by its scenic views as this hidden city is protected by the mountains. 

With thousands hiking to Machu Picchu every year, you’ll find a lot of trail hikes with varying levels of comfort and durations. While there are tour operators offering Inca trail hikes, you can also opt for other hiking alternatives like going around Salkantay Mountain or the Choquequirao trek with a Machu Picchu extension if you wish to explore the archaeological site.

In addition to these treks, ruins, and well-preserved houses, temples, and palaces, you’ll also enjoy Peruvian street food or a wide selection of restaurants that can suit both your budget and your taste.

3. Bangkok, Thailand

This is probably one of the most visited tourist destinations not just in Asia but in the world. While some tourist attractions can be overhyped and overpriced, you can find so many places that are worth visiting. You can go to the Reclining Buddha and the Grand Palace, ride the sky train, join a yoga training or explore the Chatuchak Market if you love shopping. Also, try visiting Bangkok’s backpacker central Khao San Road for a variety of experiences Bangkok has to offer. From street vendors selling pad thai and rice desserts to pizza parlors and hamburger joints, they have it, there are hamburger joints, and yes, plenty of Thai. Khao san Road also has the best nightlife and a number of places to stay.

The best thing in Thailand? You can enjoy a variety of their delicious food, as well as accommodations, without spending a lot! A bed in a hostel can cost only a few dollars for a person or two per night. 

4. Pula, Croatia

Croatia is now one of the most visited places in Europe. Why not? With its picturesque seaside towns with sparkling waters and incredible natural scenery, Croatia deserves the buzz. Add to these its medieval cities and historic ruins.

In particular, Pula has been attracting tourists, being home to the 1st century Roman amphitheater where people watch gladiator fights. This well-preserved amphitheater is just a part of the city’s mix of culture and wealth of significant historic structures. If you go to the countryside of Pula, you’ll see gorgeous beaches that are perfect for outdoor fun and adventure.

]]> 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. 

Top tips for time-saving on short trips

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.

L’article Top 4 trains to travel through Europe on a budget est apparu en premier sur Travel Tomorrow.

]]> Train rides can be a fun and relaxing adventure for traveling alone, but also a great experience for traveling with your significant other, friends or family. Apart from being comfy and kind of romantically retro, train rides are in most cases, cheaper than other modes of transportation.

If you want to travel on a budget, we have prepared some ideas for you. Here is a list of top trains to travel through Europe on your next journey.

Before you start your journey

Train rides are great in multiple ways, but they also have some bad sides. One thing you should know about trains is that they are slower ways to travel. Apart from the high speed trains, a ride with a regular train can sometimes be twice as long as a bus ride, for example.

This means that you should be well organized for your travel, especially if you have a certain event or a meeting you should not be late to. Plan your travel on time, so you do not have to worry about it later. You can even get personalized train tours online, according to your schedule and preferences.

Book your rides in advance, to save even more money and get your luggage set ready. Bonus points for trains as most companies allow you to bring food and drinks, and in most cases, your furry companions are also welcome on board in their carriers. 

1. France

Take your time and book a train ride to and through one of the most romantic countries in the world. One of France’s most popular train companies is SNCF. We suggest you book your tickets in advance, and if possible, get a return ticket.

That will save you some money so you can spend more on perfumes and delicious French pastry! 

2. Italy

The country of one of the world’s most popular cuisines offers you multiple train tickets to choose from. Company Trenitalia Trains, for example, offers a “super economy” ticket. It is cheaper than the others, but also less time-flexible.

Do not forget to check all the details when booking a ticket. If time is not essential to you, this is probably the best option for your wallet.

3. Norway

Norway is quite equipped with trains and train rides are a very common way to travel there. Students usually take this mode of transportation, so if you are a student as well, you can check if there are some international student discounts and benefits. 

There are 3 large train companies in Norway – state railway VY, SJ Nord, and GoAhead. Some of the trains are local, others go regional, so make sure you check that out when booking a ticket. For example Oslo to Bergen travel is considered regional.

4. United Kingdom

Probably the country that offers you the most to choose from – a whole 28 major train companies. Same goes as with Norway, some of the trains go local, some go regional, so do not forget to check that. 

The biggest UK train company is the GTR Network. It consists of 4 partnered companies – new Thameslink, Great Northern lines, Southern and Gatwick Express. The UK offers luxurious train rides that are pretty pricey, but the quality is impeccable.

On the other hand, traveling on a budget can require a bit more time to research as there are many trains and companies there. Take your time to find the best option for you and your budget. There are multiple sites that will find the cheapest tickets for you, so that is a bonus advice to stay on a budget.

Trains can be a great experience as they offer comfortable and affordable rides, plus you can take your time to enjoy the scenery while you are traveling. Book your tickets, pack your favorite book and take more time for yourself. Relax and enjoy the ride.

]]> The train has been exiled into oblivion since the beginning of modern road-building and airfares becoming readily available to everyone. But in recent years, trains have made a comeback and with style and poise at that. Train travelling is becoming fashionable again, especially for those who wish to travel a bit back in time. So why not enjoy some luxury train experiences on your honeymoon?

1. Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

You have probably heard about Agatha Christie’s famous murder-mystery novel Murder on the Orient Express. The titular train first departed from Gare de l’Est in Paris in 1883, birthing a new era of train travel. The luxurious train covered Europe’s longest route at the time, starting in Paris and finishing in Constantinople, today’s Istanbul.

Giving the famous train a new life, a privately owned company bought the original carriages and restored them to their most glorious time. The Art Deco style carriages allow you to experience the heights of roaring ’20s, enjoying the comfortable, luxurious bedding and dining in the famous Bar Car 3674. There are customizable options for honeymooners who want their first days of marriage to be extra special.

Today’s route is somewhat shorter, with most passengers opting to get off in Venice or Vienna. On their website, however, they still offer the original route starting in September of this year, so maybe the Orient Express route will be restored to its former glory, passing through Europe’s capitals and countryside. The Istanbul-Paris route also includes planned excursions to Budapest and Bucharest, a Danube cruise, and a visit to Peles Castle.

2. Blue Train

Experience South Africa in a completely different light aboard the Blue Train. Its 27-hour journey crosses 1,600 kilometres of South Africa’s land. You will also get to stop at the diamond mines of Kimberley on the way south. On your way back, you can visit Matjiesfontein, the colonial outpost.

This luxury train experience includes butlers that are on call 24/7. They can get you a glass of drink or a snack, or even iron your clothes. The luxurious suites also have full-size bathtubs, so you can enjoy the savanna while soaking in a bubble bath and sipping champagne.

Since 2016, the Blue Train has also offered special journeys from Pretoria to Hoedspruit, in the Kruger Park area. The train tickets can be booked online well in advance.

3. Golden Eagle

Once known as the Trans-Siberian Express, the Moscow-Vladivostok train represents one of the most incredible train journeys you will ever take. You will have access to a private bathroom, laundry services, and of course air conditioning or heating, depending on the time of year. Onboard, there are also a resident pianist and an English-speaking doctor.

Daily excursions await you along the way, so at times it may feel more like a cruise than a train ride. You will enjoy the mesmerising Lake Baikal and get to visit Mongolia’s capital Ulaanbaatar. The two-week-long journey can serve as an excellent opportunity to bask in the luxury of this train with your spouse.

4. TranzAlpine Train

One luxury train journey that you’ll never forget is the TranzAlpine train trip in New Zealand. World-renowned for its stunning beauty. A journey that begins in Christchurch – where you can book some wonderful luxurious Christchurch accommodation after your stay there – you’ll travel in a rail that links the city of Christchurch to historic Greymouth, a river town on the rugged West Coast in the South Island of New Zealand. Highlights include a 240-foot-high Staircase viaduct, the world-famous Arthur’s Pass National Park, and the Otira tunnel. This journey is the honeymoon of a lifetime.

5. Seven Stars

When you think about Japan, the first thing that pops in mind is the fast trains. But Japan’s answer to Orient Express was the Seven Stars train. And it does not disappoint. Only 30 people can be aboard at the same time, in seven luxurious carriages. This train is in itself a masterpiece, featuring the best of Japanese craftsmanship. Glass doors rich in flowery details, shoji paper screens instead of curtains, and wooden details across floors and walls.

Seven Stars offers two itineraries. A shorter, two-day trip, mainly in Fukuoka prefecture, and a longer, four-day journey that goes around the southern part of the Kyushu island. Since both options are highly in demand, the company selects travellers by lottery. This can be somewhat disappointing for honeymooners who don’t win, but you can have multiple entries for the dates that you want.

Train travel is making a comeback in the form of luxury train experiences that are best enjoyed with your significant other. So since the honeymoon usually represents a unique, costly trip, why not slow down and enjoy the relaxing train travel experience? After all, the staff on any of them will spoil you until you reach your final destination.
