website summarized tips from travel bloggers that will allow you to see the world with minimal costs. At the end of the article you will find a bonus in the form useful information for every tourist. And may you have more travels in the near future!
11. Travel on your own
Traveling on your own, rather than through travel agencies, is both more profitable and interesting. Yes, you will be solely responsible for any problems. But travel agencies decide little in such cases, preferring to blame the airline, force majeure, the host party, and the like.
You can independently create “that” dream route, choose cheap option flight, book the best-priced hotel with a location convenient for you, select a transfer.
4. Rent out your own home while you travel or go on an “exchange vacation”
An exchange holiday is an opportunity for free accommodation while traveling, and maybe even a chance, like the characters in the film, to meet your love.
2. Don't buy what you can get for free.
- WiFi. When booking your accommodation, immediately choose an apartment or hotel with free Wi-Fi. During the day, use free Wi-Fi in restaurants and cafes, gas stations and shopping centers.
- Area maps. Free cards available on counters in many hotels, apartments and hostels. The map can also be obtained from the tourist information office. As a rule, they are located in the city center or near the main attractions. Download electronic city maps and a guidebook to your phone in advance.
Water. In Europe you can drink tap water everywhere. Drinking fountains are installed in many cities, and you can safely drink from them. To check, you can look at
If you have been wanting to go on a trip for a long time, but can’t find a travel companion, don’t give up on your dream - go on your own. Here is a list of ten cool places where you will have as great a time as if you went with a group of best friends.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
One of the most popular resorts Croatia. Here you can take the tale of knights and battles of the Middle Ages under your arm and go explore the numerous ancient castles, For example Cathedral XVII century. Panoramic views of the old part of the city will become a small journey in time - just look at the Church of St. Blasius and the famous fountains of the architect Onofrio de La Cavi. Lovers of a lazy holiday will appreciate the Lapad beach, which is not crowded with tourists.
Hardangerfjord, Norway
A trip to Norway, namely to the Hardangerfjord, will help you put your inner state in order and think about important things. The nature there is impressive: the Vøringsfossen waterfall, the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, the largest glacier in Norway, Folgefonna. You can understand the culture of Norway in the village-museum Agatunet. The traveler will find 30 preserved houses from different periods, farms and exhibition halls under open air.
Kyoto, Japan
If there is a city where every fantasy about Japan comes true, it is Kyoto. It was the capital of the country for a long time, so many unique architectural achievements have been preserved here. For example, Nijo Castle with a system of “singing floors” or imperial palace Gosho, founded in 794. There - in Kyoto - you will see the rock garden of the Ryoan-Ji Temple and the Sambo-In Monastery, and the moss garden of the Saihoji Temple. To fully experience Japan, you can attend a tea ceremony and imagine yourself as a real Japanese.
Taipei, Taiwan
To spend great amount You can spend time shopping and looking for interesting souvenirs right here - in Taipei. There are many places in the city with delicious local food - you definitely won’t go hungry. In the morning, go to Mount Elephant (there are many excursions there) - at the top there is a cool view of the city. There is also a zoo in Taipei where you can see pandas.
St. Moritz, Switzerland
Yes, it's expensive (very expensive), but the best ski holiday exactly there. The resort is far from highways- you will finally take a break from the hustle and bustle and remember what silence is. St. Moritz has all the conditions for active rest: from ski slopes and skating rinks to swimming pools and tennis courts. And for those who like to tickle their nerves, there is the Free Fall high-speed track in the area of \u200b\u200bthe slopes of Mount Piz Nair. Only the most experienced riders should go there - the speed of descent can compete with that of a car.
Ubud, Bali
We recommend going to the rice plantations. The Tellalang rice fields are considered the most picturesque on the island - they are located in a mountain gorge and go down to the water. Ubud is suitable for those who like to meditate and do yoga - you can do it almost everywhere there. Thanks to its special color and creative heritage, the city has become cultural capital islands. Don't forget to visit the Pura Desa Ubud and Pura Taman Saraswati temples and join the Goa Gajah Elephant Cave Tour.
Santorini, Greece
Philosophers call Santorini “the lost Atlantis.” White houses with blue roofs, warm sea, delicious food - everything that is typical of Greece is there. For relaxing holiday The village of Imerovigli is especially suitable. It is famous for its traditional Greek-style churches and ruins ancient city Skaros - it collapsed due to an earthquake. Not far from Akrotiri there is a unique a natural phenomenon- Red Beach. It appeared as a result of a rock fracture.
Botswana, South Africa
One of the main reasons to visit South Africa- beautiful flora and fauna. Reserved for environmental protection zone most of Botswana. Chobe National Park is home to the largest population of elephants. Tourists can ride around the park in jeeps or river boat. In general, there are many nature reserves and modern eco-centers in Botswana - you need to try to see everything.
Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland is one of the most beautiful places in the world, it is ideal for a solo holiday. What to see there? Yes, that's basically it. But what definitely needs to be added to the list is the Blue Lagoon. This is a unique natural open-air pool where the water is always warm. The lagoon is formed from porous lava, and bacteria do not take root in it. If you want to stay in a hotel next to the pool, they will offer you lymphatic drainage massage, contrast showers and salt peeling with algae. Wonderful!
Gold Coast, Australia
This destination is suitable for those who love a city break. There is modern architecture and big beach with fine golden sand, and some of the most delicious seafood in the world. Built in Gold Coast huge park entertainment Dream World. You can see the symbol of Australia - the kangaroo - and other animals in the Kurumbin Nature Reserve. If you still miss nature, go to National parks and botanical gardens.
You can go to enchanting Europe different ways. For example, buy first class tickets, stay in a five-star hotel and visit expensive restaurants every day. Or you can take a tent with you and hitchhike, subsisting on instant noodles. Both of these methods seem like extreme extremes that are not suitable for all travelers. It is much better, both in terms of costs and the degree of pleasure from the trip, to take the middle path and arrange a budget trip for yourself. To help you organize this, we have prepared this article with useful tips.
Tempting hot offers
When travel companies trying to somehow sell their tours, they call them “hot” and significantly reduce their prices. The closer the departure day, the cheaper such offers become - after all, you need to fill out the group. For those who want to get to Europe cheaply, such tours can be a good solution! But we must also take into account their negative sides.
You must be ready to take off “tomorrow”, which is not very convenient. In addition, it is not very often possible to find a tour to exactly the place that is most interesting to you. And during the trip you are “attached” to other members of the group. Changing plans and improvising in such conditions is difficult.
On the other side, organized tours also have advantages. You don't have to worry about tickets and accommodation - relax and enjoy. You also get some protection against the unexpected. After all, the organizers of such trips often have both experience and established connections.
Traveling to Europe on your own is cool and not scary at all
The other approach may seem more hassle, but it will give you more freedom. And if you organize everything wisely, it will be more convenient. Travel to Europe on your own! You just need to plan your movements, take care of tickets, visas and hotel reservations.
Many tourists have already made similar trips. And they like them much more than even the most attractive “hot” tours. Here are some tips on how to organize an inexpensive (or even cheap!) independent travel in Europe. A .
Don't be like everyone else to save on tickets
It may seem that one of the most expensive travel items will be air tickets. But no! You can fly to Europe cheaply if you use the services of low-cost airlines and select unpopular departure days.
There are really a lot of low-cost airlines, or low-cost airlines, in Europe. And some fly into Russian cities to then take tourists straight to European attractions. For example, it is worth checking the prices and schedules of such airlines flying from Moscow: Aegeanair, AirBerlin, Air Baltic, Eurowings, Meridiana (flights to Italy), Niki, Vueling, WizzAir. Also remember about easyJet and Ryanair, which have an extensive network of destinations within Europe.
To travel around Europe more economically, when choosing a departure date, act “not like everyone else.” Holidays and weekends become times of mass travel. Airlines raise prices during this period. On weekdays, the flow of passengers is less, and so that planes do not depart empty, fares for such flights are lower. The price range is visible on airline websites. You can also buy tickets online there.
To have the maximum choice and not miss out on great deals from airlines, it is convenient to use special services that make it possible to compare different flight options - such as momondo.ru, skyscanner.ru or aviasales.ru. . Check out what deals and cheap flights to Europe are available right now:
Hostels, b&b and cheap hotels are the choice for budget travel to Europe
Cities popular with tourists have a huge variety of hotels, and you don't necessarily have to book rooms at branches of popular chains like Hilton. Small hotels or budget b&b can be quite convenient, especially if you want to travel around Europe cheaper. Perhaps in such places they do not always provide a “free” breakfast, cleverly included in the price of stay. But is this why you are going to Europe?
Usually budget hotels are located some distance from the city center. Therefore, if you want to save money while traveling, you will probably have to use transport to get to the main attractions. This should be taken as a delightful adventure and an immersion into the life of local residents. However, there is always a chance to “catch” a special offer from hotels or b&b located in the center, especially if you book in advance. Many resources allow you to make a reservation with the ability to cancel it later, without losing money. However, always check your booking terms and conditions carefully to make sure they include free cancellation so you don't lose money if your plans change. Don't delay, check which budget hotels are currently available on booking.com:
A good opportunity not only to save money, but also to communicate with locals, as well as to get to know the country better and get to know it “from the inside,” is to rent an apartment or room. The popular resource airbnb.com is gaining momentum for good reason - more and more travelers are attracted by the opportunity to stay in real apartments of real people, while saving a significant part of their trip budget.
For those who are not very picky about living conditions, European hostels are convenient. They are especially popular with young people who have a limited travel budget, and can become great place for accommodation while traveling. They can be booked at hostelsclub.com or hostelworld.com.
Public transport, hiking, and perhaps a bicycle!
If you come to Europe on your own, you will have to solve the issue of transport after leaving the airport. Taxi is not compatible with the idea budget travel. Even if the driver charges exactly according to the meter, the price for a simple transfer to a hotel can be quite significant.
There are buses from each airport. Often these are even city flights with regular fares. Knowing where you are flying, take an interest and bus routes to the city. This is easy to find out at the airport by going to the official information desk. In many cities there is a metro line to the airport. Why is there a taxi here?!
Even if you arrived in European country As part of a group, you may want to break away from other people and walk around the city on your own. In this case, you should also not contact taxi drivers. Public transport in Europe is well developed and very convenient. And it costs several times less than a taxi. If you plan to travel a lot, you can buy a pass for several days.
An even more convenient way to get around the city as a tourist is to walk! Especially in the center. This way you will be able to see much more and get much more vivid impressions.
To get around the city independent travelers Bicycles or Segways are often rented. Most European cities have no problem with bike paths.
What will really help you on your journey is a map! Before traveling to Europe, you can download a specialized mobile application with a map that will work offline. This way you can use it without access to the Internet, which is very expensive in roaming. And if the map also contains information about attractions, including even opening hours, then this will make your trip much more enjoyable! All of the above can be found in.
Travel to Europe. How to save money on excursions?
Live guides leading groups of tourists are gradually becoming relics of the past. Following them in the hustle and bustle and in a noisy group of other tourists is not always convenient, and individual service is very expensive. But don’t give up on full-fledged excursions around European cities! After all, many attractions contain mysterious mysteries and fascinating stories are associated with them. Just looking at a building is not at all the same as finding out along the way when it was built, who lived in it, what mystical legends are associated with it... A convenient mobile application installed on a smartphone can come to the rescue -! It will make staying in tourist places extremely exciting and will allow you to explore the city with a “personal” guide, available at any time, and significant savings.
If you like museums and other similar places where you have to pay an entrance fee, inquire about free days. They may only happen once a year, but sometimes they happen weekly.
Often in Europe it is possible to save on visiting attractions by purchasing a special guest card for tourists (for example, Roma Pass in or Prage Card in). The price of this card includes admission to the city's main attractions, museums and galleries. Often it also includes free travel on public transport, as well as discounts in many restaurants.
Eat like the locals
Of course, once in Europe, many will not refuse a romantic dinner in a chic restaurant. It's a wonderful, albeit expensive, experience. But you can’t repeat it every day! No less tasty, but much cheaper food is served in small bistros and canteens, created more for local residents than for tourists. Look around and think about where you would eat if this were your hometown.
Many products can be bought in regular stores or at the market. It is not only cheaper, but sometimes even better than a restaurant. Buying real Italian cheese, Spanish oranges, French baguettes, Swiss chocolate and other local products is an experience that will be remembered after the trip!
We need language to communicate!
It may seem strange that communication with local residents allows you to save money, but this is a fact. Especially if you speak the same language with them. In most European countries, English is spoken fluently, so you can ask others for advice in this language. It's okay if someone doesn't understand you. The second, third, fourth person will answer and tell you something that you won’t find in any guidebook. Imagine that a foreigner would contact you with questions about your city. Wouldn't you tell him where to eat cheaply and well, where to stay inexpensively, how to buy tickets to a concert without overpayments, what is worthy and inexpensive to see in the surrounding area.
Another secret to good relations with Europeans is to try to say a few phrases in their native language. Your efforts will be appreciated and you will be able to make friends. Our favorite mobile application, which we have already mentioned in this article, will be an excellent communication assistant for you - by installing it, you can use a convenient audio phrasebook completely free of charge. In it you will not just see how this or that phrase is written, but you will be able to hear it - all phrases are voiced by native speakers.
It's very helpful to meet someone in the city you're traveling to in advance. There are special services for this, for example couchsurfing.com.
Travel with a group
Another way to save money while traveling is to organize a trip with a group and split the costs between everyone. A trip with two or three people is much more profitable than traveling alone: both due to hotel rooms (living in a double or triple room is much more profitable than in a single room), and due to transport (you can take a taxi or rent a car and divide the costs between everyone fellow travelers - accordingly, the more of them, the greater the savings).
Of course, the style of travel depends on individual preferences. If you like to travel alone, then don’t break yourself. If not, look good company. Just keep in mind that when traveling with fellow travelers, common interests and the ability to come to an agreement are very important - make sure that your potential travel companion is “on the same page” with you so as not to ruin your entire vacation.
By the way, if you could not find travel companions among your relatives and friends and are not ready to travel on your own, this is not a reason to refuse the trip. Sociable travelers who are not alien to the spirit of adventurism may be interested in the service - this is a special platform for finding travel companions. Of course, remember to use caution and common sense when searching.
When you go on a trip to Europe, you shouldn’t save on everything. It’s better to get the most out of the trip than to bite yourself later. Otherwise, what was the point of going at all? Experiment, study, travel with joy and inspiration!
