Multi-destination trips seem like a huge investment, and that’s one of the reasons why many travelers avoid them. Despite their reputation for being costly, trips that allow you to visit several destinations at once can actually save you a fortune, as long as you plan them right.
Transportation Costs
Connecting several nearby destinations will cost you less than flying back and forth from your home country over and over again. Check out the cost of trains, buses, and planes, and look for the most affordable and convenient option for each trip.
Accommodation Costs
The best way to save money on multi-destination trips is to find the cheapest accommodation whenever possible. If you have friends or family in one of the places you’re visiting, this can be a great money-saver, but trying Couchsurfing or staying at hostels is also an option.
Shorter Stay
Unless you’re planning to stay on the road for months, you’ll have to keep a visit to each of your destinations short and sweet. Your stay at pricey destinations should be extremely well-organized so you can stay there for fewer days but still get everything done. You might want to hang around a bit longer in cities with lower prices of accommodation, food, and transportation, though, because there’s always more to see.
